“An effect is as a rule harder than its cause and I am not to blame for it. The thunderbolt* is more formidable and harder than bone (of which it was made) and iron than rock (from which it is quarried).” (179) (who gave up his life in the interest of the gods) has been told in the account of this sage, which appears in the footnote below the CaupŒ¶s following DohŒ 29 above. 510 * ÝR” RMACARITAMNASA*
