He told them to go to Misrik and arm themselves with the _bones_ of the old sage, Dudeej.
They found Dudeej alive and in excellent health; but they thought it their duty to explain to him their orders.

He told them, that he should be very proud indeed to have his bones used as arms in so holy a cause; but he had unfortunately vowed to bathe at all the sacred shrines in India before he died, and must perform his vow.

Grievously perplexed, the Deotas all went and submitted their case to their leader, the god Indur.

Indur consulted his chaplain, Brisput, who told him, that there was really no difficulty whatever in the case-- that the angels of all the holy shrines in India had been established at and around Neemsar by Brimha himself; and the Deotas had only to take water from all the sacred places over which they presided, and pour it over the old sage, to get both him and themselves out of the dilemma.

They did so, and the old sage, expressing himself satisfied, gave up his life.
