He is held among the Hindus as a saint. They relate that once while he was offering prayer to God, there came to him four arms with four hands; and that every time he prayed roses fell to him from out of heaven. He was a great conqueror, he held a large part of this earth under his dominion, he subdued . . . (blank in original) kings, and slew them, and flayed them, and brought their skins with him; so that besides his own name, he received the nickname . . . which means ‘lord of . . . skins of kings;’ he was chief of many people. - [Previous: c10.41](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c10.41) - [Next: c10.43](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c10.43) - [Up: c10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c10) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c10.42](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c10.42) · Pramāṇa
