Ajātaśatru said, 'It is contrary to usage that a Brāhmaṇa should approach a Kṣatriya thinking, "He will teach me about Brahman." However I will instruct you.' Taking Gārgya by the hand he rose. They came to a sleeping man. (Ajātaśatru) addressed him by these names, 'Great, White-robed, Radiant, Soma.' The man did not get up. (The King) pushed him till he awoke. Then he got up.
