Contains the conversation between Sánu's mother and the Yakkhiní, who possessed Sánu (see Sánu) in order to prevent him from "losing his soul." Sánu's mother says she cannot understand how Yakkhas can possess holy men who keep the fasts and lead holy lives. The Yakkhiní says she is right; but holiness consists in refraining from evil, both open and secret. Sánu's mother understands, and, when her son regains consciousness and asks her why she weeps as he is not dead, she replies that he is as good as dead in that he wishes to return to the household life, like goods, which having been rescued from the fire, wish to be thrown into it once more. S.i.208f.
