association of ‘_thou and I_.’” The student said farther: “Drink no bang, because the bang-drinkers shall not pass over the bridge of judgment (_sarat´h_).” Kakak replied: “Great is the number of bang-drinkers; let us, on this side of the bridge, build a town and call it _Bang pur_, and not think of passing the bridge.” Goya Kásem composed a ludicrous account of these drunken sectaries. When the king _Kásem Anwar_ (distributor of splendors) was near the habitation of excellence, he recited the following verses: “He (God) distributes the light; I distribute bang, He is the distributor of splendors; I, the distributor of secrets.” A great number of men in India think as these sectaries. The Sanyásis assembled once in one of the sacred places of pilgrimage revered by the Hindus; by accident, an army of naked Jelális and Madáris came there at the same time, and having brought a cow, wanted to kill it; the Sanyásis bought the cow from them; they came a second time, with another cow, which the Sanyásis again, not without entreaties, purchased. These men, barefoot and bareheaded, having become insolent by their numbers, brought a third cow and killed it; the Sanyásis, indignant at this, attacked them, and a battle ensued, in which the Sanyásis at last obtained the victory, and killed seven hundred of the naked Jelális and Madáris; they educated the boys of these fanatics, whom they made prisoners on this occasion, in their own religion. The Sanyásis were frequently seen engaged in war. Another class of the Hindus are the _Yógis_, who pretend to a high antiquity; an account of them has already been given. Other sects, such as the _Sankhyan_, and the _Patanjálís_,[395] are devoted to piety, and practise the _yóga_, and other pious austerities; also the _Charvakíán_, who believe the four classes of their sect to be very ancient: we have already treated of them, as well as of the _Játis_ and _Vairágis_; the _Nanak Panthíán_ will be introduced hereafter.
