I am neither a Godling nor his brother, and O mother, mother, my heart is heavy in me." He shivered as he set down the child. "Like enough," said Messua, bustling among the cooking-pots. "This comes of running about the marshes by night. Beyond question, the fever had soaked thee to the marrow." Mowgli smiled a little at the idea of anything in the Jungle hurting him.
Can you see Marm Conant slapping him between the shoulders? Not by a jugful! The poor beast doesn't exist!" "Do you think it's that then?" He looked toward the cot by the fire where the godling snorted. "The minute I get well I shall find out from Mrs. I've done my duty thus far, but there's much expected of me." Entered here Mrs. Cloke, and hung worshipping over the cot.
"We carried him with us to our village as a prisoner but he escaped after cutting off the head of the warrior we left to guard him and carrying it down into the gorge and tying it to the branch of a tree upon the opposite side." "The word of a slave against that of a god!" cried Ja-don, who had shown previously a friendly interest in the pseudo godling.
But Mike came floating down from the sky, swaying splendidly, into the estate of a minor godling. He was relatively unharmed by the shaking-up he'd had. The strength of muscles depends on their cross-section, but their weight depends on their volume. The strength of a man depends on the square of his size, but his weight on the cube.
'Look, he is driving the flood before him! He is the godling of the village. Then they threw many flowers at me, and by happy thought one led a goat across the road."

But that goat I accepted, and went down to the Ghaut in great honour.
They were sun-worshipers, and the Greatest Noble was the Child of the Sun, a godling subordinate only to the Sun Himself. Directly under him were the lesser Great Nobles, also Children of the Sun, but to a lesser extent. They exercised absolute power over the conquered peoples, but even they had no concept of freedom, since they were as tied to the people as the people were tied to them.
At the appointed time was born, not that third in their party to whom Sophie meant to be so kind, but a godling; in beauty, it was manifest, excelling Eros, as in wisdom Confucius; an enhancer of delights, a renewer of companionships and an interpreter of Destiny. This last George did not realise till he met Lady Conant striding through Dutton Shaw a few days after the event.
"Where is he the man that dug in the dirt when he was afraid on that night?" "He is dead a year." "And he?" Mowgli pointed to the child. "My son that was born two Rains ago. If thou art a Godling, give him the Favour of the Jungle, that he may be safe among thy thy people, as we were safe on that night."
U Ryngkew, or u Basa shnong, is the tutelary deity of the village. This godling is propitiated by sacrifices whenever they are thought to be necessary. U Phan u kyrpad is a similar godling to the above. Then follows a list of minor deities, or, rather, evil spirits, e.g.
The elder nodded between two spirals of smoke which gave him the appearance of an important godling delivering oracles through incense. "That was a dam' bad story you wrote of the Sippiac killings." "I didn't write it." "Didn't uh? You were there." "My story went to the office cat." "What was the stuff they printed? Amalgamated Wire Association?" "No. Machine-made rewrite in the office."
