The group was proceeding with the help of streaks of light now and then visible. Virat was following. They now pierced through the deep forest and came in the open ground.
The group reached very near its destination after moving on the outskirts of the lonely foot-path. On all the sides green grass was swinging to and fro. Virat followed here also. The group was moving on fearlessly. Virat was new here; he was therefore moving with a little of fright but with the chanting of the Navakara Mantra in his mouth. They then reached a Palli and entered in the midst of darkness on all sides.
The power in the Mantra, Tantra and Yantra is so very sound that it makes proper the improper. Things one could not conceive of even in dream were taking shape.
The same thing happened in the life of Virat. He had started to reach Shatrunjaya and here he was in a vast Palli in extreme darkness! The group sitting in his compartment in the train was that of dacoits who had created magic on Virat.
Looking to his charms and tender age the group had inflicted such a spell on Virat that their mental desires and aims would be fulfilled. And Virat was very much in their midst.
Even after coming in, inside the Palli, the leader tried very hard but still Virat spoke not a word. An expression of sorrow was there on his face. His heart was inflamed as if with fires of wounds. His face wore no smile; he was devoid of any joy.
Sardar had something to do with him. He tried to lay before him all facilities of joy. He was made to lie down
