22. We two sat upon the grassy spot, spread out in front of the eremite; and though we kept sitting there for a long time, yet we could find no respite in the abstracted meditation of the muni.
23. Then feeling uneasy at my staying there for a long while, I broke my silence in impatience, and cried out in a loud voice, saying, suspend, O sage, the life-long musings of your mind.
24. My loud cry awakened the muni from the trance of his reverie, as the roaring of a raining cloud wakens the sleeping lion, rising straight with his yawning mouth (and stretched out limbs).
25. He then said unto us, who are ye pious persons, that are in this desert; say where is that sanctuary of Gaurí gone, and who is it that has brought me hither. Tell me what means this change and what time is this.
26. Upon his saying so, I replied to him saying, you sir, know all this and not we; say how is <it> that you being a sage and seer do not know yourself?
27. Hearing this the holy man betook himself to his meditation again, and there saw all the events that had occurred to himself and us also.
28. He remained a moment in deep thought, and then coming to himself from his abstraction, he said unto us, learn now about this marvelous event, and know it to be a delusion only by your good common sense.
29. This young kadamba tree, that you are seeing in this desert, and that gives me a shelter underneath it, and is now flowering in kindness to me.
30. It was for some reason or other, that the chaste goddess Gaurí, dwelt for full ten years upon it, in the form of the goddess of speech, and underwent all the inclemencies of the seasons sitting there upon.
31. It was by her that a goodly grove, and an extensive forest was stretched out at this place, which became therefore known by her name, and was decorated by the flora of all the seasons.
