It is indeed ridiculous, interposed the Taoist. Never before have I heard even the very mention of restitution by means of tears! Why should not you and I avail ourselves of this opportunity to likewise go down into the world? and if successful in effecting the salvation of a few of them, will it not be a work meritorious and virtuous?

Half of them have already fallen into the dusty universe, but the whole number of them have not, as yet, come together.

My spiritual lords, Shih-yin continued; I have just heard the conversation that passed between you, on causes and effects, a conversation the like of which few mortals have forsooth listened to; but your younger brother is sluggish of intellect, and cannot lucidly fathom the import! Yet could this dulness and simplicity be graciously dispelled, your younger brother may, by listening minutely, with undefiled ear and careful attention, to a certain deGREe be aroused to a sense of understanding; and what is more, possibly find the means of escaping the anguish of sinking down into Hades.
