Excerpt from Missionary Enterprise in the East: With Especial Reference to the Syrian Christians of Malabar and the Results of Modern Missions The result of their consultation was, that they went up in a body to the summit of the Sahya mountains, that is, the Western Ghauts, anciently called Sahya or Delectable, in search of parasu-rama, to whom their complaint was as follows Hear the cause of our now coming, 0 thou' that possessest mercy. We, who once lived at Gokur num, are now af icted by the sons of Sagara, who dug a hole and descended to the infernal regions, and were burned with the' fire of Kavila's anger; and now all the country where the sons of Sagara dug has become ocean: and because Gokurnum, the great temple, has sunk beneath the waves with its sacred waters, we are greatly distressed.' In this strain they supplicate Rama, who at last vouchsafes to accompany them to the sea-shore. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
