They Left Him to Die in the Desert. Then the River Moved.

Description

"You are a slave woman's son. We will not eat with you."

The seers on the banks of the Sarasvati called Kavasha Ailusha a slave's son, a gambler, no Brahmin, and drove him into the desert to die of thirst. Dying, he saw a hymn to the waters. And the river turned.

A Hindi retelling from the Aitareya Brahmana (8.1) and the Kausitaki Brahmana (12.3.11).
