Note 136 — THE VAMPIRE’S SEVENTH STORY. SHOWING THE EXCEEDING FOLLY OF MANY WISE FOOLS.
Reading edition
Every Hindu is in a manner born to a certain line of life, virtuous or vicious, honest or dishonest; and his Dharma, or religious duty, consists in conforming to the practice and the worship of his profession. The ‘Thug,’ for instance, worships Bhawani, who enables him to murder successfully; and his remorse would arise from neglecting to murder.
