punishment of crimes by the gods |

I now followed along this line (42) and Yongang explained to me that Ghawang punishes other actions as well. Whoever steals his neighbour's rice or animals, is unjust and cruel towards others, hits them during an argument or gives false testimony, has to expect Ghawang's punishment. As an example of the latter instance, Yongang gave me the possibility of a man who unjustly accuses someone else in front of the dobashis and the S.D.O., that is a classic case of "false testimony". I took special care during this conversation not to put words into Yongang's mouth which he would not have thought of himself. |
