21. There was a sage named Ayodadhaumya. He had three disciples named Upamanyu, Aruni and Ved.
22. One day he sent Aruni, a citizen of Panchal region, to go and bind the fields with a wall.
23. After listening to his Gurus orders, Panchalya Aruni went there, but could not bind the fields. He faced difficulties. At last he found a solution. “So that is what I should do”, he said to himself.
24. He entered directly in the field, and lied in there, due to which the water stopped flowing in the field.
25. After some time Ayodadhaumya guruji asked his disciples, “Oh! Where did Aruni Panchalya go?”
26. They said, “Guruji, you are the one, who sent him to bind the fields.” Hearing this, he said to the disciples, “Then let us all head to where Aruni has gone.”
27. Guruji headed there and started calling Aruni, “Hey Aruni! Where are you? Come here, child!”
28. Hearing his Guru’s word, Aruni immediately rose up from the fields and stood in front of Guruji with folded hands.
29. And he said to Guruji, “I am here in the fields. The water could not be stopped from flowing in the fields so I entered in the fields. After hearing you calling me, I broke the binding wall created by my lying down, and stood in front of you.”
30. “Thus, I bow down to you. Instruct me, on what I should follow?”
31. Guruji answered, “You broke the binding wall and stood up, and thus will be known as ‘Uddalak’ in the future.” Saying that Guruji blessed him.
32. He said, “You have followed my (Guru’s) orders so you will be very learned, you will learn all the Vedas and Dharmashastras”
33. Having heard the blessings, Aruni went to his destined country!
