had expertise in all the branches of learning. He also knew very thoroughly the four . He was fully aware of the contents of the six . His knowledge of the six and his knowledge of the four (together ten) is the inner meaning of the belief that had ten heads. It is a symbolic way of saying that he was an expert in all the ten branches of knowledge. Ignoring this inner meaning, if we simply keep on saying that had ten heads, in ordinary daily parlance, we have to ask how he is going to sleep with those ten heads? How is he going to do his daily duties with those ten heads? This is the shortcut to making things appear ridiculous. The writers and the historians may simply have described him as a person having ten heads, but the inner meaning of such a description is that was having such knowledge and deep wisdom. He, with all this strength and knowledge, was not minding the people’s security and people’s happiness. To him, his own enjoyment, his own safety, his own pleasure were all that mattered. We should note here that, in spite of all great and good qualities, he was behaving in a bad manner. Towards the end of his life, he realised that all that he did was sin; and the paths he had adopted were bad paths, and that whatever had told him was right, and that he could not follow the advice given to him by his wife .
