‘ Y&^avalkya,’ he said,‘when the speech of this dead person enters into the fire, breath into the air, the eye into the sun, the mind into the moon, the hearing into space, into the earth the body, into the ether the self, into the shrubs the hairs of the body, into the trees the hairs of the head, when the blood and the seed are deposited in the water, where is then that person?’ Ya/^avalkya said: ‘ Take my hand, my friend. We two alone shall know of this; let this question of ours not be (discussed) in public.’ Then these two went out and argued, and what they said was karman (work), what they praised was karman *, viz. that a man becomes good by good work, and bad by bad work. After that Garatkarava Arta- bhaga held his peace.
