Chapter 21 Resurrection (1)
There is a city of Dihamasr on the banks of the beautiful Yamuna River, where people also pray.Among them lived a Brahmin named Keshawei, who was a very devout believer, always facing the Yamuna River to repent and worship devoutly.He never buys statues of gods from others, but likes to make some clay models of gods by himself; paints bright red oil paint on smooth stone tops, and puts beautiful flowers, fresh fruits, clear streams, sweet candies and fried The beans are offered to the gods.He is a veritable scholar, but when he was young, he abandoned his studies, fell in love with the beautiful and charming Kama Deva (the god of love) and Lati (his wife), and lived a life like a fairy all day long. The crisp chirping of birds, the humming and humming of bees, and the gentle and frivolous breeze accompany him through his daily life.But Kaishawei has always been willful and never listens to discipline.One day, after being severely reprimanded by his parents, he sneaked away to a neighboring village and hid behind a tall statue of the god Panchanan. (The incarnation of the third person among the three ruling gods of India. The other two are the destroyer Shiva and the Indian wine god. The Panchanan statue has five faces, each with three eyes. In many villages in Bangladesh There is a statue of him. Mothers often warn their children not to touch him, lest they bring disaster.) He suddenly had a bad idea and threw the statue into the pond.

On the second day, people finally found that the statue was missing.Soon, the whole village knew the terrible news.When the whole village fell into chaos, Keshawei's parents also just arrived here and found their son.Some people said that they once saw a strange young man sitting in the tree of the idol.But he didn't know the truth about the missing statue.

When Keshawei appeared in front of the villagers, people suspected that he had stolen the statue of Panchanan.Keshaway made no secret of what he had done, pointed out the location of the idol, and said that he had defiled the god.The villagers present were all stunned by his words, staring blankly at this ignorant guy from another village.Everyone said that this daring child would be punished by God Panchanan and told him to die immediately.Hearing what the villagers said, Keshawei was really scared.After experiencing this incident, he no longer dared to disobey his parents' discipline, picked up his books and devoted himself to studying hard.In this way, he finally became a famous scholar in the country.

Today, Keshawei is a member of the Brahmin class.He had a daughter named Manhumarati (sweet jasmine), who was so beautiful that even the celestial nymphs could not compare to her, with a delicate face and blue lotus-like eyes in full bloom. Kind and gentle eyes, arms like fresh lotus stems.

This beautiful and lovely girl has finally reached the age of marriage.Her mother, father and brothers were very anxious about her marriage, because a wise man once said: "It will be a shame to the family if a daughter of marriageable age does not have a husband." "The King, the Woman and the Reptile Both like to have close people around them." "Who can bear the torment of sexual desire? Gifts, kindness, the best service, moral ethics or fear of punishment do not always conquer women. Women at this time do not yet discern good and evil."

The thing is such a coincidence.On this day, Keshaway went outside to attend a wedding, and his son went to his scripture school to repair the classroom.While the men were away, a young man came to visit his house unexpectedly.Seeing this handsome young man, Manhumarati's mother thought he was a well-behaved young man, so she said to him, "I will marry my daughter to you." However, at the same time, his father Keshaway betrothed his daughter to a young man whom he had seen at the employer's house; and her brother had promised the same to a schoolmate of his.

A few days later, the father and son returned home, bringing the two young men with them.However, a third suitor was already sitting in the room.The first suitor was named Debikram, the second was Bamande, and the third was Madhusadan.All three were equal in wit and learning, as in age and physique.

Seeing the three young men in front of him, Keshawei said to himself: "Ah, there is one bride, but here are three grooms. Who should we betroth our daughter to? All three here have received our promise, This is troublesome. What should we do?"

Keshaway suggested that the three young men should each quote a famous saying from a wise man, and whoever said it best would be his daughter's bridegroom.

"Courage is the most valuable thing on the battlefield; integrity is the most important thing before interests; true feelings can only be revealed in the face of friendship through adversity. From this we can see that a loyal wife is by no means a person who hates the poor and loves the rich." This is Debikram's answer.

"A woman locked up by her father and deprived of her freedom has never been truly conquered; all kinds of banquets and entertainment occasions make her linger, and the veil on her face cannot prevent her from showing her beauty in front of men. She can also become a noble guest. She Likes to sleep, she drinks a lot and is intoxicated away from her husband," Barmand said.

"How can this be?" Madhusadan said immediately after Bamand's words, "Trust in the ocean, and don't always think that it will appear tentacles, or other weapons that kill people; whether it is a woman or a Even a king can't think like that."

Just when Keshawe was hesitating, a poisonous snake crawled into the house and bit the beautiful Manhumarati.A few hours later, the poor girl died.

The sudden death of Manhumarati terrified everyone. The father and the three suitors stared blankly at the dead body and fell to the ground.Then they stood up, wiped the tears from their faces, and tried everything possible to revive her.They invited many wizards, wise men, and goddesses who could cure snakes, but when they saw the girl, they all shook their heads and said that there was no cure.The first person explained: "If you are bitten by a poisonous snake on the fifth, sixth, eighth, ninth and No. 14 days of the lunar calendar, it is incurable." The second person also said: "On Tuesday If you are bitten by a poisonous snake on Saturday, you will not survive." The third person claimed: "If the venom enters the specific six constellations, that person will be finished." The fourth person also said: "If the lower lip of a person , cheek, neck, stomach—any sense organ bitten by a poisonous snake will kill a person."

"Humans are already like this," said the fifth man. "Neither the Brahmans nor the first human beings can bring her back to life. In short, there is nothing we can do. We should go too. Don't you want to hold a funeral?"

The distraught father cremated his daughter's body and buried the bones in the cemetery, and returned home with tears in his eyes.

The three suitors comforted each other: "Since the incident has already happened, let's go elsewhere to find our own happiness. Now, shouldn't the most important thing to do is to obey the words of Indian gods and gods? Are you right?"

"How can a person be called a happy person who does not travel? Even a good person will become a bad person if he stays at home all the time. A person who loves to travel has Indian gods as friends. Travel Bar!"

"The traveler's legs are like blooming flowers, and he can collect and produce fruits by himself. All the bad things on his body are gone, and his persistence during the journey has destroyed them. Let's travel!"

"He who sleeps is in the Iron Age; he who wakes is in the Bronze Age; he who is refreshed is in the Silver Age; he who travels is in the Gold Age. Travel !"

"The traveler will find his lover; the traveler will find the sweetest figs. Go out and receive the sunshine, and no one will be tired of traveling. Travel!"

When the three young people parted, after expressing their grief to their deceased mutual lover, they went their separate ways.

Debikram packed the ashes of his beloved woman and set off.Then he became a member of the Visheshkas Church, which had great influence at the time, and solemnly bid farewell to the eight taboos.The eight taboos are: eating at night, killing animals, eating juicy fruits, pumpkins, and young bamboos, eating honey and meat, robbing others, using violence against married women, eating butter cheese, and worshiping the gods of other sects. gods.He finally had the deepest realization that the highest virtue is: do not hurt any sentient beings; punish a criminal without necessarily killing him;In addition, he also stated that he would abide by the five vows of abstinence: not to tell lies, not to eat meat or fish, not to rob, not to drink alcohol and not to marry.All he had was a change of clothes in white lion skin, a towel for wiping his mouth, a dish for begging, and a wool brush for sweeping the ground for insects.

People told him that the world is like a passing cloud, don't worry about it, and don't worry about the future, you can accept other people's charity, but you can only do this once a day.Face up to all accidents and ensure food intake, but don't harm creatures, don't stain your soul, don't make yourself ashamed, and be full of enthusiasm no matter what you do.

He forgets about love as much as possible.He said to himself: "Perhaps, because of my selfishness and arrogance, I always look forward to a woman who can make me happy. Well, that's it. Ah! Your agile eyes are like the flexible tail of a water bird; your fiery Your red lips are like ripe cherries; your slightly protruding breasts are like water lily buds; your fiery body is like seeing gold melted in a cauldron; Bright crescent moon. In the happy home of Eros, there is your graceful figure. The happy time will always accompany you. The dead will come back to life when they touch you. As long as it is for you, I can face the horror In a tragic battle, even if thousands of arrows pierce my heart, I will not feel any pain. Just a look from you can heal my pain...

"Now, my thinking has completely changed. As long as I can see her, I will say to her: Ah! Is this the woman who makes men dream? It's like a basket covered with skin, containing bones, Blood and flesh and other things. The man who can be captured by this thing must be a fool-is there anyone more stupid? Blind! Brainless fool! Now, it is my duty to find my soul , and ignore all feelings of pleasure and pain."
