he has come only to-day. He is a very young man and I have been greatly pleased with his looks and conversation. I am disposed to think that he is a true coin. I charge Jivananda with the work of training him up in the duties of a Child, for he is a great hand in winning people's hearts. I will be going now. I have but one other advice to give you which you must listen to with attention."
They folded their arms and humbly said : " As your Holiness pleases."
Satyananda said, "If you two have been guilty of any transgression or if you happen to be so ere I come back, do not expiate it till I come back. When I come back, expiation will be absolutely necessary for you."
So saying Satyananda went to his own place, and Jivananda and Bhavananda stood there amazedly looking at each other's face.
"Was that meant for you?" asked Bhavananda.
"Possibly. I went to my sister to keep Mahendra's daughter there."
"There's no harm in that, that's not forbidden—but did you do yourself the pleasure of seeing your wife there?"
"He thinks so, perhaps."
