Yesus of Kashmir
136.08 It was sixteen hundred years since Atland sank (ca. 600 BCE) and, at this time, something happened that no one was expecting.[1]
In the heart of Findasland, in the mountains, lies a valley called Kashmir, which means ‘uncanny’. A child was born there; his mother was the daughter of a king, and his father was a high priest. To elude shame, they had to foresake their own blood. The child was thus taken out of town, to the home of poor people. Meanwhile, none of this had been concealed from him. He therefore did all he could to gain and garner wisdom. His intellect was so great that he understood all he saw and heard. The folk regarded him with reverence, and the priests were dismayed by his questions.
When he came of age, he went to his parents, and hard words they had to endure. To settle their debt to him, they gave him very many valuable stones. But they still dared not openly acknowledge him [137] as their own blood. Overwhelmed by sadness over the imposed shame of his parents,[2] he went wandering about. On his travels, he met a Frya navigator who had been enslaved; from him he learned about our morals and traditions. He bought the man’s freedom and they remained friends unto death.
Everywhere he went, he taught the people that they must not tolerate rich men or priests, and that they must take heed against imposed shame, which inevitably sullies love. “Earth,” he said, “grants her gifts in the measure that one scratches her skin; he who wishes to reap of her bounty must dig, plow, and sow.” “However,” he said, “no one has to do this for another, unless it takes place by common will or out of love.”
He taught that no one should grub in her bowels for gold, silver, or precious stones, to which envy binds and from which love flees. “To adorn your girls and women,” he said, “her rivers provide enough.”
“No one,” he said, “has the power to give everyone equal wealth and happiness. But it is everyone’s duty to make the people as equally wealthy [138] and to afford them as much contentment as possible.”
“No wisdom,” he said, “should be undervalued. But equal sharing is the greatest wisdom that time can teach us, as it wards off strife from Earth and feeds love.”
His formal name was Yesus, but the priests, who despised him, called him ‘Fo’,[3] meaning ‘false’. The folk called him ‘Krisen’, that is ‘herdsman’, and his Frya friend called him ‘Buda’, which means ‘purse’ — because he carried in his head a treasure of wisdom and in his heart a treasure of love.
Ultimately, he had to flee the revenge of the priests. But everywhere he came, his teachings had preceded him. And everywhere he went, his enemies followed him like his shadow. When Yesus had traveled like this for twelve years, he died. But his friends upheld his teachings and proclaimed them wherever they found ears.

Sandbach 1876
[p.185 cont.] Sixteen hundred years ago (she writes, 593 B.C.[1]), Atland was submerged; and at that time something happened which nobody had reckoned upon. In the heart of Findasland, upon a mountain, lies a plain called Kasamyr (Cashmere) that is "extraordinary." There was a child born whose mother was the daughter of a king, and whose father was a high-priest. In order to hide the shame they were obliged to renounce their own blood. Therefore it was taken out of the town to poor people. As the boy grew up, nothing was concealed from him, so he did all in his power to acquire wisdom. His intellect was so great that he understood everything that he saw or heard. The people regarded him with respect, and the priests were afraid of his questions. When he was of full age he went to his [p.187] parents. They had to listen to some hard language; and to get rid of him they gave him a quantity of jewels, but they dared not openly acknowledge him. Overcome with sorrow at the false shame of his parents, he wandered about. While travelling he fell in with a Frisian sailor who was serving as a slave, and who taught him our manners and customs. He bought the freedom of the slave, and they remained friends till death. Wherever he went he taught the people not to tolerate rich men or priests, and that they must guard themselves against false shame, which everywhere did harm to love and charity. The earth, he said, bestowed her treasures on those who scratch her skin; so all are obliged to dig, and plough, and sow if they wish to reap, but no one is obliged to do anything for another unless it be out of goodwill. He taught that men should not seek in her bowels for gold, or silver, or precious stones, which occasion envy and destroy love. To embellish your wives and daughters, he said, the river offers her pare stream. No man is able to make everybody equally rich and happy, but it is the duty of all men to make each other as equally rich and as happy as possible. Men should not despise any knowledge; but justice is the greatest knowledge that time can teach, because she wards off offences and promotes love.
His first name was Jessos,[2] but the priests, who hated him, called him Fo, that is, false; the people called him Krishna, that is, shepherd; and his Frisian friend called him Buddha (purse), because he had in his head a treasure of wisdom, and in his heart a treasure of love.
At last he was obliged to flee from the wrath of the priests; but wherever he went his teaching had preceded him, whilst his enemies followed him like [p.189] his shadow. When Jessos had thus travelled for twelve years he died; but his friends preserved his teaching, and spread it wherever they found listeners.
