17 Then, with proud heart, Ravanna with his train, began the journey toward the rising sun; and after many days they crossed the Sind, and reached the province of Orissa, and the palace of the prince.
18 The Brahmic priests were glad to welcome home the prince; with favor they received the Jewish boy.
19 And Jesus was accepted as a pupil in the temple Jagannath; and here he learned the Vedas and the Manic laws.

3 And Jesus said, Truth is the only thing that changes not.
