Guest guest Posted January 30, 2002 Report Share Posted January 30, 2002 Now come some of the peculiar methods of education in ancient India. This teacher gave Satyakama four hundred lean, weak cows to take care of, and sent him to the forest. There he went and lived for some time. The teacher had told him to come back when the herd would increase to the number of one thousand. After a few years, one day Satyakama heard a big bull in the herd saying to him, " We are a thousand now, take us back to your teacher. I will teach you a little of Brahman. " " Say on, sir, " said Satyakama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
