From that day on, he found no pleasure in the puja.

Finally, he put the conch shell away.

One day, with his friends,

And holding his newly written manuscript in his hand,(264)

He went to the Gomti River.

There, sitting upon the bridge,

He began to recite his new composition to his friends.

As he read, confusion and turmoil arose in his heart:(265)

‘If a man utters a single lie,

He suffers in hell.

I have written so many false words—

All are lies, not even one is true.(266)

‘So how will I ever make good?’

These were the thoughts that came suddenly to Banarasi.

Thinking thus, he stared at the river

And threw his manuscript into it as though it were waste paper.(267)
