Thus ordered by the preceptor, Aruni of Panchala went to the spot, but could not stop the breach. He was very sorry that he could not carry out his preceptor's bidding, but at last he saw a means and he said, “I shall do it in this way." He entered into the breach and there laid himself down and thus the water was stopped.
