ABSTRACT
IT is related, O auspicious King, that there was once, in the antiquity of time and the passage of the age and of the moment, a Greek sage called Daniel. He had many disciples who listened respectfully to his teaching and profited by his knowledge, but he had not been blessed with a son to inherit his books and manuscripts. Knowing no other way to attain this object, he prayed to the Master of All, and the Highest, at the door of Whose generosity there is no doorkeeper, heard his prayer and made the wise man’s wife with child at that same hour.
