The Image of the Lord of Kedar

I had already practiced with the Shouting Master for some time, when one day I decided that I would visit a shrine in the high mountains. I spend one day on a bus. From where the bus dropped me I had to climb a steep mountain path. The path followed the edge of a deep gorge. Suddenly a packhorse broken loose came gallopping straight towards me. I quickly raised my wandering stick into the air. The animal slowed down and changed the side of the path. The next moment I saw an eagle gliding past, covering all the distance to the far side of the valley, then disappearing beyond a ridge in the distance. Shortly after lunchtime I arrived at the shrine. I entered the shrine and looked at an image of the Lord of Kedar. Then I turned around to leave the shrine. In this moment I saw a ridiculously fat rat trying to hide at the feet of an image of the Hero Bhima. Some days later, I returned to continue to practice with the Shouting Master.
