He began to cut thus. They said: 'Yavakrī has gone mad, let us bind him.' 'No,' said the father, 'my son acts impelled by the gods; he alone knows what is better here.' A deaf carpenter in the village did not hear the prohibition. Going past, he struck him. 'Who is this person who is thrashing our \[people\]?'—some say he struck him down. While he was striking, the sun rose over him; when it had risen, that very Gandharva struck him down, say others. But as he died, so it was: in truth, that very Gandharva struck him down. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2-7.270](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-7.270) - [Next: 2-7.272](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-7.272) - [Up: 2-7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya~en-mt.2-7.271) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-7.271](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.2-7.271) · Pramāṇa
