Tell them, master. ²Brahmin, who that knows one thing from another, and is worn out by the arrows of desire, would stop once he had heard the good accounts of him whose renown is highest? ³That is speech which tells out what he is; those are hands which do his work; that is a mind which remembers him living in all that moves and all that stands; that is an ear which hears the holy accounts of him. ⁴That is a head which bows to whatever bears his mark in either kind, and that alone is an eye which sees it.
