Manu says a ksatriya can't refuse a bet. Evil Sukini knew that and he challenged Maharaja Yudhisthira. He kept losing even though he knew he ought to not bet. The voices from the heavens called out "those dice are loaded" but still he couldn't refuse. The leis are mostly leaves with a few sumanas flowers today to wrap around their ankles coming down from their shoulders.
What a chase today. i offered my respect to the ratha-bhojana-vrksa and set out to get B.C.'s prescription filled. i was pedaling along with the gecko and we came upon a detour. Soon we saw we'd be on the first highway. So we turned and tried another way. Once again the barriers were thrown in our faces. Next we tried to circle around. But we ran into a hill so steep and high that when we reached the top there was snow on the ground. A team of pedalers went by on the cross road and asked "How ya doin'?" i said wonderful. He gave us a thumb up. The prescription couldn't be filled. We were determined not to go the same way we came. Some how or other we found ourselves starting to do just that. We turned and headed back. Then we saw a pedaler in the distance crossing the road and making a mysterious turn. Soon we had followed him. The shinning path had taken us out on the road we started from. "Why didn't we know about this before?" we shouted. By that time he had to take leave and i had to take the sweet road to avoid the first highway and get back for the vaikalika.
Guru-Gauranga Gandharvika-Giridhari are dancing this evening. That's what SGM said. They tarried just a little while before coming to their beds of aromatic flowers.
