Selections from the Book of Namwaran

1And it came to pass that Namwaran did take those words of God which were in his possession and he took them to the mountains. For he knew where the sacred and precious things had been stored, that they might be hidden up. For this knowledge had been passed down by all who had been called High Priests. And did find the cave. And he did store the records within the cave. Now it came to pass that God did speak unto him and command him to gather the records of His words given among the Mahardika. And He did command Namwaran to bring all the records into this cave. And there the records should be preserved until a future time when they should come forth and bring light unto all those who should read them. And behold Namwaran took himself and went abroad in the land And did gather many records. And he went from city to city to gather records. But behold he did see much wickedness in cities that had been cities of believers. And there were very few believers left in the land. For the ways of all the children of Ahkman had been perverted. And they did tear down the worship places of the believers. And they did destroy all the works and records of the believers, insomuch that there were no remnants left of the believers in the land. And this was the reason Namwaran did gather the records. And he did preserve copies of the records from destruction.
