“Now, O king! throw another net immediately and this is the only step to catch him.”140.
“O king! we have heard about the name of the net of knowledge, throw the same in the ocean and catch the great sage
“The sage will not be caught with any other measure even for years
O protector! listen to it, we are telling you the truth.”141.
“You may take croes of measures except this, you will not be able to catch him
” Only throw the net of knowledge and catch him”
When the king threw the net of knowledge into the ocean that net caught him like the second Dadhich.142.
The Yogi Matsyendra was caught alongwith the fish, having been entrapped in the net and seeing that fish all were wonder-struck
After some time, when all the people regained some health, then all the warriors, depositing their arms and weapons reached at the gate of the king.143.
They began to rip the belly of the fish, but none of them could do it
When all of them gave in, then the king called his friends and asked them :
“Now what measure be adopted, so that we may be successful in our objective and see the great sage.”144.
DOHRA
All of them used their power, but the belly of the fish could not be ripped,
Then the king tried to ask the knowledge- Guru.145.
TOTAK STANZA
All the warriors, forsaking their pride,
Came near the king and spoke,
“O king! ask only the knowledge-Guru,
He will only tell us all the method.”146.
The king reflected methodically and invoked knowledge and said,
“O chief Guru! tell me the mystery as to how the sage can be seen ?”147.
Then the knowledge-Guru uttered these ambrosial words,
”O king! Take the knife of Viveka (Discrimination) and tear off this fish.”148.
Then, whatever the Guru had instructed, it was done accordingly
After adopting Viveka, that fish was ripped.149.
When the belly of the fish was ripped, then that great sage was seen
He was sitting there with closed eyes and concentration, detaching himself from all desires.150.
Then a sheet made of seven metals was put under the view of the sage
When the contemplation of the sage broke, the sheet was reduced to ashes by the sight of the sage.151.
If anything else had come within his sight (at that time),
