NANDISHEN The courtesan reacted with
The courtesan irritation
laughed What sort of vow is this? You have already converted nine persons.
Why not consider yourself to be the tenth
and come to eat?
When you have broken the all important ascetic-vow, why worry about breaking
this minor vow?
No! can't
break my
VOW.
Nandishen suddenly got a jolt in his mind -
Oh! You have awaken me. Now the tenth
person has been automatically enlightened. I am awake !
My lord! please don't mock me. I am very
hungry. Please come
I have stood up and will
go. But not inside your house. I am going to my
omniscient Lord.
