The river of Manda, called Matanga, is only a departing and re-entering branch of the Lake, also the Luma and Loéla rivers some thirty yards broad have each to be examined as springs on the south of the Lake. July 29th, 1868.
Clarice was placed next to Drake, upon the opposite side to Mrs. Willoughby, and out of ear-shot, and was endeavouring to talk to him indifferently. 'You never take a holiday, I suppose. Where are you going this year? she asked. 'To Matanga, said Drake. 'Matanga! Oh no. The words slipped from her lips before she was able to check them.
The Brahmana, O Matanga, is said to be foremost of all created Beings. The Brahmana grants all objects that are desired and in the way they are desired. Wandering through innumerable orders of Being and undergoing repeated rebirths, one succeeds in some subsequent birth in acquiring the status of a Brahmana. That status is really incapable of being obtained by persons of uncleansed souls.
Setting himself to the performance of those penances for the purpose of happily acquiring the status of a Brahmana, Matanga began to scorch the very deities by the severity of his asceticism. Unto him thus engaged in penances, the chief of the celestials, viz., Indra, appeared and said, 'Why, O Matanga, dost thou pass thy time in such grief, abstaining from all kinds of human enjoyments?
The lord and giver of boons, engaged in the good of all creatures, viz., Vasava beholding him falling down, quickly came to that spot and held him fast. ""Sakra said, 'It seems, O Matanga, that the status of a Brahmana which thou seekest is ill-suited to thee. That status is incapable of being attained by thee. Verily, in thy case, it is surrounded by many dangers.
"'Bhishma continued, "Hearing these words of his, Purandara said unto him, 'The status of a Brahmana, O Matanga, which thou desirest to acquire is really unattainable by thee. It is true, thou desirest to acquire it, but then it is incapable of acquisition by persons begotten on uncleansed souls.
Thy fame, O son, shall become unrivalled in the three worlds. Having granted him these boons, Vasava disappeared there and then. Matanga also, casting off his life-breaths, attained to a high place. Thou mayst thus see, O Bharata, that the status of a Brahmana is very high. "'Yudhishthira said, "I have heard this great narrative, O perpetuator of Kuru's race.
'I think that my place is there, returned Drake, 'at all events for the moment. I shall go as soon as the House rises. 'I thought you didn't mean to leave London again. 'One gets over ideas of that kind. After all, my interests lie in Matanga, and one gets a kind of affection for the place which makes your fortune. The recantation was uttered with sufficient awkwardness.
'I want to clear off arrears, because I am not sure that I oughtn't to go out again to Matanga. You see I can do it quite easily. Parliament meets in a fortnight to vote supplies. It will adjourn, it's thought, three weeks later. I could leave England in September, and get back easily in time for the regular sessions. 'But why should you go at all? asked Fielding.
'Look here! and he took a couple of letters from the pile and handed them to Fielding. One was addressed to the whip of his party, and the other to the directors of the Matanga Concessions. 'And I leave Charing Cross at ten o'clock this morning. Fielding looked at his watch; it was half-past nine. 'Then you mean to run away? he gasped. 'But, in Heaven's name, why? 'For an obvious reason.
