My husband is my supreme god. He came hungry and tired and was being served and waited upon by me." Hearing this, the Brahmana said, "With thee Brahmanas are not worthy of superior regard.

Though wicked, sinful, and intemperate, we still seek from Thee a ‘seat of truth,’ and long to behold the countenance of the Omnipotent King. It is Thine to command, and all sovereignty belongeth to Thee, and the realm of might boweth before Thy behest. Everything Thou doest is pure justice, nay, the very essence of grace.
Pierrepont took up the quotation and completed it "A spirit haunts the year's last hours, Dwelling amid these yellowing bowers: To himself he talks; For at eventide, listening earnestly, At his work you may hear him sob and sigh, In the walks; Earthward he boweth the heavy stalks Of the mouldering flowers: Heavily hangs the broad sunflower Over its grave i' the earth so chilly; Heavily hangs the hollyhock, Heavily hangs the tiger-lily."
Having obtained the whole earth through the aid of the Brahmanas, he met with destruction when he began to practise wrong on them!

Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots: Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made: And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.
Even Indra himself boweth unto the Brahmanas." At this Ashtavakra said, "We have come, O ruler of men, to witness thy sacrificial ceremony and our curiosity, O king, is very great. And we have come here as guests. And, O son of Indradyumna, we have come, desirous of seeing the sacrifice, and to meet king Janaka and speak to him.
II. God lays upon us special missionary work by the special characteristics of the times. 'Such a time as this! Was there ever such a time? Look at the condition of heathenism. It is everywhere tottering. 'The idols are on the beasts, Bel boweth down. The grim gods sit half famished already. There is a crack in every temple wall.
'Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, the idols are upon the beasts. Surely God has granted us success enough for our thankful confidence, more than enough for our deserts.
Then up stood Gudbrand of the Dales and spake: 'Where is now thy God, O King? Methinks now He boweth His beard full low; and, as I think, less is now thy bragging and that of the horned one whom ye call bishop, and who sits beside thee yea, less than it was yesterday.
