Vritra paused for a moment in front of the temple, his mind was suddenly overwhelmed by a mess of foreign sensations and memories.
Maybe it won't affect the higher beings much, their vast consciousness capable of filtering such intrusions, but it was too much for someone who is merely a demi god, the assault on his mind nearly staggering.
Soon however, the effects disappeared automatically, fading away as his will asserted dominance.
'What was that?' Vritra frowned deeply, was that sensation used on higher beings to subtly change them over time?
Or to keep weak people away from the temple's inner sanctum?
Whatever might be the case, Vritra was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard some chanting from inside, voices raised in unison.
"Love live the great Buddha!"
"Om mani padme hum!"
"Amitabha!"
The chants echoed through the stone walls, creating an almost hypnotic resonance.
