from the edinburgh magazine january 1819 fragment the midnight winds are forth with high career urging their cloudv chariots rapidly a if they rushed to war or fled in fear along the aure champaign of the ky the heavens are all in motion and the eye beholds the wonted iions of its search moon star and cloud all hurrying silently awav as if upon their final march a if the angels trump had pealed along that arch when thus the hand of mighty seraphim this pictured volume from our sighi shall roll unfolding to all ees the face of him who sits enthroned behind it o my soul how shall thou bear to see in funeral stole nator distracted in convulsions lie on flaming pj re and ai his destined goal time worn and wear lay him down to die on the paternal breast of hoar eternity i c brahmin seemed to nlm rlsoroeittngtttore dreadful he dreamed or pretended to dream that the god had appeared to him and told him that his car would not mote unless a number of human beings were immolated by being thrown under the wheels hearing this rumored and a- ware that the deluded multitude were capable of believing this if urged on by the brahmins the missionaries at seram- poredrew up and printed a tract of eight pages in which they laid open to the multitude the true reason of the cars stop ping and bogged them to consider what they could gain by worshipping so help less a log of wood pointing them at the same time to the true lord of the world as waiting to be gracious to all in every nation who turn to him through his son this was quietly circulated among the people with what effect he are unable to say but nothing more was heard of the immolation of human victims from a late engttfh publication on the last day of the festival the disaster of juggernaut weather being favorable the deluded onthecrh july 1818 the drawing n js i 1 l z th of gprw car took place pic of rclhabulubh though it was no ji- i j k jl customary to do it on the last day and seating juggernaut in it canted him back to his old residence 6 on thefenccafioie he is diawn by ropes to the temple of his brother radhabutubh about two miles diflant he i then let down by ropes and carried into the tem ple here he flays eight days to cij y the fociety 1 f his blotters during which titie the inflix f worfhippera is immcnfe o 1 the 9th day he i fuppofed to remount his car and return to his own people the rich uativ to whom the car be long the idol is the property of the lord of the soil on which the temple stand had recently built a house near the temple for the convenience of his family on those occasions the earth before it had been turned up and having imbibed the rain which fell incessantly a da or two before the festival was ex ceedingly soft when therefore the car arrived at this spot the wheels sunk info the earth and every effort to extri cate them proved ineffectual a heavy shower which fell at the same time dis persed the crowd and the car instead of proceeding nearly two miles as usual remained only fifty yards from its origin al station the proprietor of the car 6tandiug before it lamented in bitter terms the ruin which the event entailed 011 his ancestor who had built the car the hindoos imagine that a man conti nues immortal as long as any great or important work he may have achieved continues to flourish thus the hindoos esteem vamlike as still enjoying immor tality because his work is now in con- stant circulation among them the stop ping of the car defeated the purpose for which it was built and plainly indicated that his ancestor had fallen from his im mortality on the second day the people again applied their shoulders to the ropes in tain the car was immoveable and the hole multitude exclaimed that nothing but the presence of his brother radha- bullubh would induce juggernaut to move messengers were immediate ly despatched for ridhabullubh who having come to a certain distance on the shoulders of his priests they declared that he would proceed no further gj lie ftgjj wm gflf feftjlpf from his own temple on any other occa sion and that he would not deviate from his usual coarse this was how ever as the reader will easily perceive merely a trick to obtain money an ea ger debate now arose between the pro prietor of the car and the sacerdotal pro prietors of radhabullubh and after much altercation the priests consented for fifty rupees to allow him to pass the jim- it prescribed by their avarice the mo ney was counted down on the spot and radhabullubh proceeded towards the car enthusiasm now redoubled the ef forts of the multitude the car began to move the propitious event was univer sally ascribed to the satisfaction of jug gernaut on beholding his brother it however agrn remained stationary after proceeding but a few yard and raclhi- hullubpii was obliged to return without ins brother in two or three days the priests of radhabullubh began to feel the effects of juggernauts absence the visits to the temple were few and the offerings inconsiderable these offerings had been previously farmed out for 232 rupees and the farmers plainly saw that unless juggernaut could be brought to the tem ple they should lose not only the pro fits which they usually made above that amount but bo unable to realise even that sum after various consultations therefore between the priests of both femples juggernaut was silently con veyed to his brothers on the evening of the third day the misfortnne which had happened to the car being almost unprecedented filled the minds of the people with anx iety they attributed it to various cau ses some said that the proprietor of the car hd contrary to his usual custom partaken of food before the car was drawn forth others said that the god vas incensed at the temerity of one of the proprietors who had touched it while jet impure from the defilement of the dead body of a relative while others maintained that the wrath of juggernaut was excited by his having silver and not gold hands givn to him in these and similar conjectures did the deluded mul titude indulge to have said that he could not move his own car would have been a rude slander 011 the kfc lord of the world to save his power therefore they charged him with passion not con sidering that the attempt to secure to him the possession of one attribute degraded bi character tu a worse degree 13ut oac 50 pounds re ivard tolen
