A savant was very proud of his learning. One day while he was explaining a verse to his pupil which warned the reader of the temptations and allurements of life, he thought that the text was incorrect and he corrected the word “chapi” i.e., also, to “napi” i.e., not. Next day as he was going to bathe in the river Ganges a storm arose together with heavy rain and everyone ran back to his house. The learned man also ran towards his house but on his way he was forced to enter a temple of Shiva for shelter. He found a beautiful lady in the temple and a sudden infatuation overcoming him, he tried to catch hold of her. She, however, began to move around the image of Shiva, and he started running after her. As she repeatedly eluded him, he jumped over the image to catch hold of her. As he landed on the other side, he heard a voice issuing from the deity saying that passion even drives a learned man. That exclamation reproduced the words in the text which he had corrected on the previous day. The savant at once saw his mistake, and going back to his house restored the text to its original form.
