THE OTHER FIVE BROTHERS ARE NOT INGESTED. The source names a number and six kingdoms and not five more men, and a number is not five records — the rule that kept lane 17 from manufacturing the sixty thousand sons of Sagara and lane 16 from manufacturing ninety-six Kauravas. THE FOUNDING RITE IS IN THE RECORD: nine men singing and dancing until the sky sends down a box, which is a cult act preserved inside a foundation myth.
