1. SECOND BRÂHMANA
Svetaketu Âruneya went to the settlement of the Pañkâlas. He came near to Pravâhana Gaivali, who was walking about (surrounded by his men). As soon as he (the king) saw him, he said: 'My boy!' Svetaketu replied: 'Sir!' Then the king said: 'Have you been taught by your father!' 'Yes,' he replied.
