He (Yâgñavalkya) said, 'Thou hast gone on questioning me beyond the deity, beyond which there must be no questioning: thou shalt die ere such and such a day, and not even thy bones shall reach thy home!' And so, indeed, did he (Sâkalya) die; and robbers carried off his bones, taking them for something else. Wherefore let no man decry any one, for even (by) knowing this, he gets the better of him.
