Verse 22

²²Some fish swallowed the iron. The powder was carried off from there by the waves, and where it caught on the shore it became, they say, blades of eraka grass. ²³The fish was taken at sea in a net with others by men who kill fish, and a hunter made the iron from its belly into the point of an arrow. ²⁴The Bhagavan knows what everything is for, and he is the Lord; still he did not wish to make it otherwise. Being time's own form, he let the brahmins' curse stand.
