He stepped into the cave, filled with darkness from inside; he used the flame torch in his hand and saw that something was written on the walls in Sanskrit. He had learned Sanskrit a little and was able to read. He interpreted that they were mantras, but he had never heard mantras like them.
He used his torch to see the surroundings; he saw a man standing in a strange posture in the torchlight. His whole body was covered in ash, his long hair was tied in dreadlocks, and he had long big nails that were twisted.
He was only wearing a small piece of cloth below his waist; besides that, he wore nothing. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Vinay; the torch fell from Vinay's hand due to his surprise.
