A group of pandits sit near his couch, translating a Sanskrit work, and from time to time take it up to him to elucidate some point. A three year old, not to be outdone, takes up his story of Little Bo Peep, and Sri Bhagavan takes that too, just as graciously, and looks through it with the same interest; but it is tattered, so he passes it to an attendent to bind and gives it back next day neatly repaired.
