I told him I wished to ascertain the whereabouts of a Rama Ragobah, who had been something between a rishi and a fakir, and he directed me at once to a fakir named Parinama who, he said, would be able to locate my man, if he were still alive and in Bombay. You can imagine how agreeably surprised I was to find that Parinama knew Ragobah well.

Sreedhara makes mahat an adjective of yoni; Sankara makes it an adjective of Brahma. K. T. Telang follows Sankara. Happiness and knowledge are attributes of the mind, not of the soul. Hence, when attached to the soul, they are as fetters from which the soul should be freed. Deha samudbhava is explained by the commentators as having their "samudbhava or parinama in deha."

I thought it wise to see the venerable Scindia alone, and accordingly sent Parinama out of the room with the interpreter. As before; I give you what passed between us as I jotted it down in my notebook. Q. You are a friend of Rama Ragobah, are you not? A. No, Sahib; he has no friends. Q. You speak as if you disliked him. A. It is not Mono Scindia's habit to play the hypocrite.

I had anticipated some considerable difficulty in learning the latter's whereabouts, and here was a man who could for a sufficient consideration tell me much, if not all, about him. I secured an interpreter, paid Parinama my money, and proceeded to catechise him. I give you my questions and his answers just as I jotted them down in my notebook: Q. What is Ragobah's full name? A. Rama Ragobah.
