Immersed in meditation the sage did not hear the King, and mistaking him to be a haughty fellow, the King, with his stick, lifted a dead snake and placed it round the neck of the sage. Yet he did not stir. The King returned to his palace. - [Previous: c7.232](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.232) - [Next: c7.234](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.234) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.233](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.233) · Pramāṇa
