and indicated to him a spot in the Himavat, where there was gold in abundance, left behind by the brahmans at the sacrifice of Marutta of the Karandhama race. Asked by Yudhishṭhira, Vyāsa told the history of Marutta (XIV, 3). † * * i.e. Samvartta-Maruttīya (b). Vaiçampāyana said: † Yudhishtlhira was delighted at hearing the speech of Vyāsa, and desirous of performing his sacrifices with those riches, he consulted with his ministers (XIV, 4-10). — § 779: Vaiçampāyana said: When Vyāsa had concluded his speech, Kṛshṇa addressed Yudhishṭhira, saying that Yudhishṭhira's karman has not yet been annihilated, nor had his foes been subjugated—"How canst thou be ignorant of the enemies in thy own flesh?"—and related the history of Indra's war with Vṛtra (b) (XIV, 11). Kṛshṇa then expounds that, as physical ailments and health depend on tho distribution of the cold, warm, and windy [humours] of the body, so do the mental ailments and health depend on sattva, rajas, and tamas in the soul [mind]; happiness is overcome by sorrow, and sorrow by pleasure; Yudhishṭhira should not recall his past sorrows: Kṛshṇa in the assembly, etc. (a); "the time has now come when thou must fight single-handed with thy mind" (XIV, 12); salvation is not attained by foregoing external things; Mṛtyu (death) is [the thought] "mine," and the eternal Brāhman is [the thought] "not mine"; as no creature is ever destroyed, ahiṃsā (absence of injury) may exist even when one has pierced [a creature's] body, and vice versa; († v. 339-341): † the yogin knows yoga to be the perfect way, on account of the practices of his many former births; quoting the old verses sung by Kāma: "no creature is able to destroy me without [resorting to] the [proper] methods [i.e. subjugation of all desires, practice of yoga, etc.] . . ." (XIV, 13). — § 780: Vaiçampāyana said: Thus Yudhishṭhira was consoled, exhorted by Viṣṭaraçravas, etc. (β); and having again performed the obsequies rites for his relatives, etc., he ruled the earth. He said to Vyāsa, Nārada, etc., that he would now perform the sacrifice, and said that they would go to the Himālaya uuder the protection of Vyāsa [to fetch the gold], according to the words of Vyāsa, D.-ṛ. Nārada, and Devasthāna. Then M.-ṛ. took leave of Yudhishṭhira, Kṛshṇa, and Arjuna. A short time passed away while they performed their purifications after Bhīshma's death, and gave large gifts to the brahmans as çrāddha (aurddhvadehikam) to the Kurus Bhīshma, Karṇa, etc., accompanied by Dhṛtarāshṭra, and then they entered the city of Hāstinapura (XIV, 14). — § 781: Asked by Janamejaya what Kṛshṇa and Arjuna did when the Pāṇḍavas had reconquered and pacified their kingdom, Vaiçampāyana said: When the Pāṇḍava-kingdom had been conquered and pacified K. and A. travelled with great pleasure amid picturesque sceneries, like Indra and his wife (?, sc. deveçvarau) in heaven, or like the Açvins in [then] entered the palace of Indraprastha in reciting the genealogies of R. and g consoled Arjuna for the death of long since he had seen Vasudev heroes; he, therefore, asked accompany him to Yud departure. († v. 401 it so" (XIV, 15). Açvamedhika the Horse-s parva sarv 'çva"):
