Text 17] King Citraketu Meets the Lord 97
TRANSLATION
Thus enlightened by the instructions of the brahmanas Angira
and Narada, King Citraketu became fully aware of spiritual knowl-
edge. As an elephant becomes free from a muddy reservoir of
water, King Citraketu came out of the dark well of family life.
