Said GŒdhi’s son (ViÜvŒmitra) smiling within himself,”Everything looks green to the sage (ParaÜurŒma); it is, however, the steel sword that he is faced with and not with sugar extracted from a sugar-cane (that one could easily gulp). It is a pity that he does not understand and still persists in his ignorance.* (275)
