22217Whatever have you been doing with yourself?
22217Where are we going now, then?
22217Where are you putting up for the night?
22217Wherever did you get all these?
22217Why did you come to us,she said,"if you must go so soon?"
22217Why not decorate my little hill with them?
22217Why should you get so cheap what I had to die to learn?
22217Wo n''t you write to your father about the Russians?
22217Among those included are found: What is Art?
22217And what other sorrow is comparable to the state wherein darkness prevents the finding of a way out of the darkness?
22217As it happened the melodramatic element in it fired my imagination; for had not so many been deceived by his successful imitation of the classics?
22217Bending over me he gently laid his hand on my shoulder and tenderly inquired:"Are you not well, Tagore?"
22217But does one write poetry to explain any matter?
22217But how should I keep pace with him?
22217But then did we need absolutely to understand in order to enjoy it?
22217But where, oh, where was the rice- field on all that barren heath?
22217But why should a grown up person, who need not read unless he pleases, bother himself so?"
22217Could it not be somebody else?
22217Did we quite understand"The Dream Journey"?
22217Do n''t I know all the rooms of the house?"
22217Had I the means to build in the place of what I might break?
22217He looked at my half- ticket and then asked:"Is not the boy over twelve?"
22217He must be sparing of his ladders, I opined, and questioned with a rising inflection,"And what if we put more ladders, and more, and more?"
22217He sent for me one day and asked:"So you write poetry, do you?"
22217How could I have brought myself to believe that anything questionable could possibly find place in the straight and upright ranks of printed letters?
22217How could a body tell from which of the Tibetan passes the Russian host might suddenly flash forth like a baleful comet?
22217How could there be such dismal failure within and such brilliant success outside?
22217How often have I asked my companion,"Only tell me, is it really inside the house or outside?"
22217How was I ever to reconcile that which remained with that which had gone?
22217How, amidst the ringed- in seclusion of my early years, was I to get the necessary material?
22217I went in fear and trembling but had no sooner stepped before him than he also accosted me with the question:"So you write poetry?"
22217I would sit and wonder:"Where then can it be?
22217If he persists, saying:_ that_ I know, but what does it all_ mean_?
22217If, on waking one fine morning we were to find gravitation reduced to only a fraction of itself, would we still demurely walk along the high road?
22217In my early boyhood I heard a snatch of a song: Who dressed you, love, as a foreigner?
22217Is this uplifting of the cover of triviality from the everyday world, I wondered, due to some magic in the evening light?
22217It was as if nature held something in her closed hands and was smilingly asking us:"What d''you think I have?"
22217Not only was he a foreigner, but a Panjabi to boot,--what wonder he stole our hearts away?
22217One day he had asked:"Have you, sir, seen God with your own eyes?"
22217Says the free bird,"Among bars, where is there room to spread one''s wings?"
22217The elders, thought I, can do whatever they please, why do they rest content with such shallow delving?
22217The song being great in its own wealth, why should it wait upon the words?
22217To be able to record one''s own words in indelible ink-- was that a slight thing?
22217To stand unscreened yet unabashed, self- confessed before the world,--how could one withhold belief in the face of such supreme self- confidence?
22217Was this interest aroused within me solely by a natural affection for my own past?
22217What but the melody of song can tell us of the goings and comings of the unknown bird?
22217When have we had the wherewithal to deck ourselves for the occasion and go and join in it?
22217Where is its current, where are the waves, when does the high tide rush in from the sea?
22217Where was the strength in me to attract the right man?
22217Where were the men?
22217Why do we not have such magazines now- a- days?
22217Why the ever- busy painter is painting; when he will have done; for what gallery his pictures are destined-- who can tell?
22217Why, oh why, had we to leave such spots behind, cried my thirsting heart, why could we not stay on there for ever?
22217Would I like it?
22217when would we come across it?
22217wo n''t you listen to a poem which Rabi has written?"
17711Art thou serene and calm and unafraid When thou considerest thy tyranny?
17711Before what mortal eyes Was manifested the Eternal Light?
17711But yet, Beloved One, I ask in pain When is the hour when thou wilt come again?
17711How can I to the fisher speak my thought?
17711How can I traffic in Love''s busy mart?
17711How can I win that Hidden One Who sits within the secret place?
17711How can a bird escape, deprived of wings?
17711How did he lose his life, unhappy one?
17711How strange the turns in Love''s unending game, For neither Lover nor Beloved lit The ever- burning flame: Whence was the spirit that enkindled it?
17711I ask that God in justice punish me With death, if my love waver or grow less; Faithful am I indeed-- How can you comprehend such faithfulness?
17711I had a thousand desires, for each of them I would have died, And what did I gain?
17711I said-- Never again Canst thou forget my faithfulness to thee; She answered in disdain--What mean thy love and faithfulness to me?
17711I, Asif, am the chief of sinners held, This dark dishonour will I not deny, But glory in my shame; Where is another sinner such as I?
17711In idol- worship at the Temple thou Hast spent thy days, and thus thy years have run: How canst thou call thyself a Muslim now?
17711Long to myself I said-- It will be well, When I can see her, I will tell my pain: Now she is here, what is there left to tell?
17711Mine eyes were shut And yet I saw the shining vision gleam; Now that mine eyes are opened, know I not Was it a thought that held me-- or a dream?
17711My heart thy words have burnt with whips of fire, Do they not burn thy lips, O Heart''s Desire?
17711My soul cries out to thee in bitter need--When wilt thou come-- or wilt thou come indeed?
17711Naught my desire?
17711No light demand I make, What answer will you grant that I may live?
17711No love was there; O Gracious One, have you forgotten too?
17711O Weaver of Excuses, what to thee Are all the promises that thou hast made, The truth derided, and the faith betrayed, And all thy perfidy?
17711O cruel One, when once your glances smote me, Why turn your head?
17711Of no use is my pain to her nor me: For what disease is love the remedy?
17711Or shall I sit in solitude apart Nursing my grief?
17711Repent not, for repentance is in vain, And what is done is done; What shouldst thou reck of me and all my pain?
17711Shall I or shall I not console my heart And win relief?
17711She lightly laughed-- And so is Mazhar dead?
17711She need not have one anxious doubt of me, She need not fear my further wanderings-- How can I flee?
17711They say when I complain of all I bore--It is thy kismet, what would''st thou have more?
17711Thou turnest thy face, O Beloved, I can not tell why, Art thou shy of a mirror, Beloved?
17711To whom shall I relate The weary story of my sorrowful love?
17711To you alone I offer up my heart, To any other what have I to give?
17711What are these bonds that try to shackle me?
17711What happiness is to the lover left Of peace bereft, What freedom for his captive heart remains Held in her chains?
17711What heart is there in all the world Can bear thy cruel tyranny?
17711What help and solace in calamity?
17711What kind of comforter art thou to me?
17711What matter if he die?
17711Whence did the yearning of the soul arise, The longing to attain the Heavenly Sight?
17711Where are repose and patience gone?
17711Where has my childhood gone, where are its placid years?
17711Where is my honour, held so fair?
17711Who can live long enough To win the beauty of thy curling tress?
17711Who hath not lingering cast Long looks behind, and in his eager breast Held many a secret yearning unfulfilled?
17711Who taught thee for a shrine To choose a heart so desolate as mine?
17711Why did the fragrance of the flowers outflow If not to breathe with benediction sweet Across her path?
17711Why did the soft wind blow If not to kiss the ground before her feet?
17711Why should the Cosmos turn its wheel of worlds If not to search for thee eternally?
17711Why should the tireless Sun arise each morn If not to look for thee?
17711Why shouldst thou keep from tyranny anew?
17711Why shouldst thou not betray another one?
17711Will naught my love avail?
17711Wilt thou, indeed, I wonder in despair, Bring me at last what I so long have sought?
17711You took my heart, but left my life behind: O see you not What thing you have remembered, and what thing you have forgot?
17711how can I think the rolling Wheel of Fate Should turn to favour one so long unfortunate?
6519And who has ever taught love to find bliss in renunciation?
6519Because it has been named as wave, shall it no longer be considered as water?
6519Before whom can that joy be uttered?
6519Do you know how the moments perform their adoration?
6519Even though the head itself must be given, why should you weep over it?"
6519From the beginning until the ending of time, there is love between Thee and me; and how shall such love be extinguished?
6519From what land do you come, O Swan?
6519He dwells at the heart of all things, so why take refuge in empty desolation?
6519He who has neither caste nor clan nor anything else-- how may I describe His glory?
6519His palace has a million gates, but there is a vast ocean between it and me: How shall I cross it, O friend?
6519How many are there who know the meaning of that word?
6519How shall I find words for the beauty of my Beloved?
6519I have wrapped the diamond in my cloak; why open it again and again?
6519If Ram be within the image which you find upon your pilgrimage, then who is there to know what happens without?
6519If the deep sleep of rest has come to your eyes, why waste your time making the bed and arranging the pillows?
6519If there be lust, how can love be there?
6519If you have not drunk of the nectar of that One Love, what boots it though you should purge yourself of all stains?
6519If your bonds be not broken whilst living, what hope of deliverance in death?
6519In the home is the true union, in the home is enjoyment of life: why should I forsake my home and wander in the forest?
6519In the midst of the chamber the harp of joy is gently and sweetly played; and where is the need of going without to hear it?
6519Is your Lord deaf?
6519Kabîr says:"But who knows whence the Word cometh?
6519No form, no body, no length, no breadth is seen there: how can I tell you that which it is?
6519None knows where it is: and who knows what the burden of its music may be?
6519O how can I say He is not like this, and He is like that?
6519O my friend, what have you done with this life?
6519O woman, what does it avail thee to dispute whether He is beyond all or in all?
6519O, Kazi, O Pundit, consider it well: what is there that is not in the soul?
6519Oh my heart, how could you turn from the smile of your Lord and wander so far from Him?
6519Tell me, Sir, where is the distinction?
6519Tell me, how couldst thou hold a wedding- feast, if the bridegroom himself were not there?
6519The Mullah cries aloud to Him: and why?
6519The Yogi dyes his garments with red: but if he knows naught of that colour of love, what does it avail though his garments be tinted?
6519The fire is in the wood; but who awakens it suddenly?
6519The night is over and gone, would you lose your day also?
6519The servant Kabîr asks you to consider; who is there that shall befriend you at the last?
6519The swan has taken its flight to the lake beyond the mountains; why should it search for the pools and ditches any more?
6519Then it turns to ashes, and where goes the force of the fire?
6519Then what is this love of mine?
6519There it is ever moonlight and never dark; and who speaks of one sun only?
6519There, there is neither body nor mind: and where is the place that shall still the thirst of the soul?
6519This is the Ultimate Word: but can any express its marvellous savour?
6519To whom shall I tell my sorrow?
6519When its load was light, the pan of the balance went up: now it is full, where is the need for weighing?
6519Where did your love have its rise?"
6519Where dwells that Supreme Spirit, and how does He have His sport with all created things?
6519Where knowledge is, can ignorance endure?
6519Where would you take your rest, O Swan, and what do you seek?
6519Who is there that will carry my news to my Beloved?
6519Whose name do you sing, and on whom do you meditate?
6519Why do you loose Him again and again?
6519Why put on the robe of the monk, and live aloof from the world in lonely pride?
6519You have slept for unnumbered ages; this morning will you not wake?
6519You have taken on your head the burden heavy with stones, and who is to lighten it for you?
6519Your Lord dwells within you: why need your outward eyes be opened?
6519_ Kabîr kab se bhaye vairâgî_ Gorakhnath asks Kabîr:"Tell me, O Kabîr, when did your vocation begin?

6519hold on your head, how can you be light?"
6519if you love indeed, then why do you sleep?
6519there is no traveller before you, there is no road: Where is the movement, where is the rest, on that shore?
6519to what shore will you fly?
6520How can I leave her and come?
6520Where have you been, you naughty child?
6520A thousand useless things happen day after day, and why could n''t such a thing come true by chance?
6520But just for to- day, tell me, mother, where the desert of Tepântar in the fairy tale is?
6520But what is it makes you laugh, my little life- bud?
6520But who was it coloured that little frock, my child?
6520But would you guess that it was the tiny shadow of your little child?
6520But, baby, where could you find a net big enough to catch the moon with?"
6520DEFAMATION Why are those tears in your eyes, my child?
6520Dear auntie will come with_ puja_-presents and will ask,"Where is our baby, sister?
6520Did he never hear from his own mother stories of giants and fairies and princesses?
6520Do n''t you know why they are in such a hurry?
6520Do you hear the gong striking four?
6520Do you not remember how he sat at the window and wondered at the tangle of your roots that plunged underground?
6520Everybody knows how you love sweet things-- is that why they call you greedy?
6520Has he forgotten them all?
6520Have n''t you got a letter from father to- day?
6520Have n''t you seen how eager they are to get there?
6520He was reading to you all the evening, but could you really make out what he meant?
6520How horrid of them to be always scolding you for nothing?
6520How should you know how dear he can be when you try to weigh his merits against his faults?
6520I ask,"But, how am I to get up to you?"
6520I ask,"But, how am I to join you?"
6520I say,"My mother always wants me at home in the evening-- how can I leave her and go?"
6520I shall tell him,"Do you not know I am as big as father?
6520I shall write from A right up to K. But, mother, why do you smile?
6520If I make the slightest noise, you say,"Do n''t you see that father''s at his work?"
6520If I were only a little green parrot, and not your baby, mother dear, would you keep me chained lest I should fly away?
6520If twelve o''clock can come in the night, why ca n''t the night come when it is twelve o''clock?
6520It is gnawing at its chain day and night?"
6520Leave off your work, mother; sit here by the window and tell me where the desert of Tepântar in the fairy tale is?
6520Mother will say,"What are you about, naughty child?"
6520Mother, do you want heaps and heaps of gold?
6520Mother, do you want pearls big as the raindrops of autumn?
6520My brother would say,"Is it possible?
6520O beggar, what are you begging for?
6520O beggar, what do you beg for, clinging to your mother''s neck with both your hands?
6520O greedy heart, shall I pluck the world like a fruit from the sky to place it on your little rosy palm?
6520Our village people would all say in amazement,"Was it not lucky that the boy was with his mother?"
6520SLEEP- STEALER Who stole sleep from baby''s eyes?
6520SYMPATHY If I were only a little puppy, not your baby, mother dear, would you say"No"to me if I tried to eat from your dish?
6520Suddenly you call me and ask me in a whisper,"What light is that near the bank?"
6520Suppose it is n''t any later; ca n''t you ever think it is afternoon when it is only twelve o''clock?
6520THE SOURCE The sleep that flits on baby''s eyes-- does anybody know from where it comes?
6520THE UNHEEDED PAGEANT Ah, who was it coloured that little frock, my child, and covered your sweet limbs with that little red tunic?
6520THE WICKED POSTMAN Why do you sit there on the floor so quiet and silent, tell me, mother dear?
6520The moon is ever so far from us, how could anybody catch it?"
6520The smile that flickers on baby''s lips when he sleeps-- does anybody know where it was born?
6520The sweet, soft freshness that blooms on baby''s limbs-- does anybody know where it was hidden so long?
6520What do you think of father''s spoiling sheets and sheets of paper with black marks all over on both sides?
6520What has happened to you that you look so strange?
6520What is it makes you laugh, my little life- bud?
6520What magic has snared the world''s treasure in these slender arms of mine?"
6520What then would they call us who love you?
6520What would they call an autumn morning that smiles through its ragged clouds?
6520What''s the fun of always writing and writing?
6520When I finish my writing, do you think I shall be so foolish as father and drop it into the horrid postman''s bag?
6520When mother bends her face down to kiss us does her face look very big?"
6520When mother looks out of her window and smiles down at us playing, would you call her far away?"
6520Where is it, mother, on the shore of what sea, at the foot of what hills, in the kingdom of what king?
6520Who stole sleep from baby''s eyes?
6520Who stole sleep from our baby''s eyes?
6520Why ca n''t father write like that, I wonder?
6520Would they dare to call the full moon dirty because it has smudged its face with ink?
6520Would you drive me off, saying to me,"Get away, you naughty little puppy?"
6520You have stained your fingers and face with ink while writing-- is that why they call you dirty?
6520You tore your clothes while playing-- is that why they call you untidy?
6520You would call,"Baby, where are you?"
6520[ Illustration: From a drawing by Asit Kumar Haldar-- see cbegin.jpg] THE BEGINNING"Where have I come from, where did you pick me up?"
31968Art thou all present? 31968 Look, gentle UMÁ,"cried her Lord,"afar Seest thou the brightness of yon polar star?
31968A husband, lady?
31968Ah, how shall I thy funeral rites prepare, Gone soul and body to the viewless air?
31968Alas, sweet words, too blissful to be true, Or how couldst thou have died, nor RATI perish too?
31968All nature keeps the eternal high decree: Shall woman fail?
31968And wouldst thou still a second time prepare The sorrows of his fearful life to share?
31968But what, O faultless one, can move thy heart To dwell in solitude and prayer apart?
31968But why so mournful?
31968Canst thou the grass and fuel duly bring, And still unwearied seek the freshening spring?
31968Cold to her tender feet-- oh, cold-- the snow, Why should her steps-- her homeward steps-- be slow?
31968Could my dearest leave His own fond RATI here alone to grieve?
31968Dear maiden, bid yon eager boy depart: Why should the slanderous tale defile his heart?
31968Do not the forms-- eight varied forms-- I wear, The truth of this to all the world declare?
31968Dost thou fail to see Poor UMÁ''S anguish and her love for thee?"
31968Foes hast thou none: for what rash hand would dare From serpent''s head the magic gem to tear?
31968For who can gaze upon the moon, and dare To mark one spot less brightly glorious there?
31968Has some one feared the endless change of birth, And sought the path that leads the soul from earth?
31968Has thy love, jealous of another''s charms, Spurned thee in wrath when flying to her arms?
31968He laid his hand upon the dress, but how Shall robes so sad, so holy, grace him now?
31968How shall thy robe, with gay flamingoes gleaming, Suit with his coat of hide with blood- drops streaming?
31968How should we tell what soul- entrancing bliss Enthrals our spirit at an hour like this?
31968How wilt thou brook the mockery and the scorn When thou on[''S]IVA''S bull art meanly borne?
31968In this thy present shape, we pray thee, say Dost thou create?
31968Is he too sent upon death''s dreary path, Scorched by the cruel God''s inexorable wrath?"
31968Is this the darling secret of thy breast?"
31968Lord, who may hope thy essence to declare?
31968Maiden, thy deep sighs tell me it is so; Yet, doubtful still, my spirit seeks to know Couldst thou e''er love in vain?
31968O say, in vain doth mighty INDRA bear The thunderbolt of heaven, unused to spare?
31968O''er the earth Resistless sway?
31968One foot uplifted, shall she turn away?
31968Or fair as Beauty''s Queen, Peerless, immortal, shall thy form be seen?
31968Or has the ripe full beauty of a spouse, Too fondly faithful to her bridal vows, Ravished thy spirit from thee?
31968Penance must aid her now-- or how can she Win the cold heart of that stern deity?
31968Proudly she spoke:"How couldst thou tell aright Of one like[''S]IVA, perfect, infinite?
31968Refuge of worlds, O how should[''S]IVA deign To look on men enslaved to paltry gain?
31968Sad that the crescent moon his crest should be: And shall that mournful fate be shared by thee?
31968Say who is greater, he who strives for power, Or he who succours in misfortune''s hour?
31968Say, art thou toiling for a second birth, Where dwells the great Creator?
31968She threw her arms around her own dear maid, Kissed, fondly kissed her, sighed, and wept, and prayed:"Are there no Gods, my child, to love thee here?
31968So bright, so fair, so winning soft was she, Who could not conquer in such company?
31968Sure woman''s heart is stony: can it be That I still live while this is all of thee?
31968Sweet are those flowers as they were culled to- day, And is my KÁMA''S form more frail than they?
31968The Trident- wielding God, who knows aright?
31968The maiden ceased: his secret joy dissembling, The Bráhman turned to UMÁ pale and trembling:"And is it thus, or doth the maiden jest?
31968The rounded trunk, the forest- monarch''s pride?
31968The young tree springing by the brooklet''s side?
31968Then say, my sons, why seek ye BRAHMÁ''S throne?
31968They are thus explained in the_ Tattwa Samása_, a text- book of the Sánkhya school:--"Now it is asked, What is the''triad of qualities''?
31968Though to our eyes thy outward form be shown, How can we know thee as thou shouldst be known?
31968To what rare beauty shall her maids compare Her clear brow shaded by her glossy hair?
31968Unknown thou call''st him: how should mortal man Count when the days of BRAHMÁ''S Lord began?
31968Unmoved the other, shall the maiden stay?
31968VRITRA, the furious fiend,''twas strong to slay: Why dull and blunted is that might to- day?
31968What can their strength who draw the bow avail Against my matchless power when I assail?
31968What heart so cold That hath not eagerly its worship told?
31968What monarch''s fan more glorious might there be, More meet to grace a king as proud as he?
31968What mortal being dost thou count thy foe?
31968What need of jewels on the brow of Him Who wears the crescent moon?
31968What thing of beauty may the poet dare With the smooth wonder of those limbs compare?
31968What though the heat has stained the tints that dyed With marvellous bloom the heavenly minstrel''s bride?
31968When that great warrior battles for his life, O, who may conquer in the deadly strife, Save one of[''S]IVA''S seed?
31968Where art thou, KÁMA?
31968Where is he now, thy darling friend, the giver Of many a bright sweet arrow for thy quiver?
31968Who can declare the wonders of his might?
31968Who can recall the torrent''s headlong force, Or the bold spirit in its destined course?
31968Who,''mid a thousand virtues, dares to blame One shade of weakness in a hero''s fame?
31968Why dost thou seek the hermit''s garb to try, Thy silken raiment and thy gems thrown by?
31968Why lingers yet the heavenly minstrel''s bride On the wild path that skirts HIMÁLAYA''S side?
31968Why shine your faces less divinely bright?
31968Why should the cloud of grief obscure thy brow,''Mid all thy kindred, who so loved as thou?
31968Wilt thou not hear me?
31968With loving glance the timid fawns draw nigh: Say dost thou still with joy their wants supply?
31968Wouldst thou win heaven by thy holy spells?
31968could the cruel loved one, thou fair maid, Look with cold glances on that bright hair''s braid?
31968dost thou preserve or slay?
31968give One word in answer-- doth my KÁMA live?"
31968what has dimmed your light?
31968why should mortals fondly strive to gain Heaven and its joys by ceaseless toil and pain?
31968why so silent?
18285Away, blockhead, we have no occasion to rejoice; could you not discover the queen''s anger through her unsuccessful attempts to disguise it? 18285 A real person may exist in this world or how can an exact figure come here?
18285All are happy, Why should Kuvalayamala alone be sorry?
18285Am I a fit object for a joke?
18285Angada laughs and observes:--"Is this thy wisdom, Ravana?
18285Bidushaka asks his Majesty,"Was not the queen with you when you dreamt?
18285Bidushaka remarks,"Why could not you assuage her anger?"
18285But Earth says,"has it been proper for the good Rama?
18285But how can I accept your offer as this body belongs to a Chandal?
18285Can not you perceive that I have been attracted hither, and misled by the resemblance of your dress and person?
18285Can this be true?
18285Can you give me any tidings of Soudamini, my former pupil?"
18285Does then the deity, whose effigy only we adore in the dwelling of my father, here condescend to accept in person the homage of his votaries?
18285Ganga replies"who can close the door of Fate?"
18285Has anyone carved the statue out of his fancy?
18285He observes,"What does this mean?
18285He thinks,"Who will carve on the wall the person I dreamed of?
18285Her friend replies,"why should you be ashamed?
18285Her hand is the new shoot of the_ Parijata_ tree, else whence distil these dewdrops of ambrosia?"
18285How can I forsake my duty to my lord to save you?"
18285How can I now retire?
18285How rescue Sagarika from the dread of her resentment, or liberate my friend Basantaka?
18285I can neither stand nor move-- what shall I do?"
18285Infirm of judgement dost thou deem of Rama thus-- a mortal man?
18285Is it Sita, or am I dreaming?"
18285Knowest thou not this, and canst thou stoop to praise the son of Raghu, whose frail mortal body is but a meal to any of my households?"
18285Loved sister Ratnavali, where art thou?
18285Parasurama addresses Rama thus:--"How dost thou presume to bend thy brow in frowns on me?
18285Rama despairs:--"My soldiers shall find protection in their caves; I can die with Sita, but thou, Vibhishana, what shall become of thee?"
18285Sagarika thinks to herself,"What will he reply?
18285Sagarika views the scene, mistakes the king for the god and observes,"What do I see?
18285Satyacharya asks,"How are the scribes?"
18285Satyacharya asks,"What then?"
18285Satyacharya observes:"You are right, what chance is there for the good?
18285Satyacharya says:"How now, holy sirs, how fares it with you?"
18285She says,"How now, Sagarika, what makes you here?
18285Siva asks,"Now, Nareda, whence come you?"
18285Susangata sits down, puts her hand upon the picture and asks,"who is this you have delineated?"
18285The Brahmans answer:"why, know you not the customs of the country?
18285The friend listens and repeats,"Who is this you have delineated?
18285The king observes,"This must have been a dream, or is it magic?"
18285The king observes,"What can I say to you, dearest?
18285The king replies,"What should you suspect?
18285The king springs up and exclaims,"Where is she?
18285The pupil asks"why is a stolen marriage intended?"
18285The sage whirls his eyes and exclaims,"Is it a joke?
18285The_ Kosalas_ are subdued: what other object does the world present for which I could entertain a wish?
18285Then he approaches the queen and addresses her thus:--"Who are you?
18285Vasantaka replies,"The latter, no doubt; did not that conjuring son of a slave say, he had still something for your Majesty to see?"
18285What are your Majesty''s commands?
18285What can we say of this reign?
18285What did she do?"
18285What firmness could resist the honest warmth of nature''s mute expressiveness?
18285What is to be done?
18285What is your duty?"
18285What need of many words?
18285What shall I do with only half the money?
18285What should prevent your union?
18285Who but yourself could have been delineated as the god of the flowery bow?".
18285Why should he fear it?
18285Why should you be ashamed?
18285Why thus anxious to behold that form, one only view of which has inspired such painful agitation?
18285Would you see the moon brought down upon earth, a mountain in mid air, a fire in the ocean, or night at noon?
18285Yet the people are many; why is not such misconduct resented?"
18285are you not yet satisfied?"
18285chiefs and heroes, why this groundless panic, the prowess of our enemy untried in closer conflict?
18285dost thou not blush to waste thy might upon a weak defenceless maiden, or art thou truly without form and sense?
18285what have I got with which to make a due gift to you?
18285where is my favourite starling, that I left to your charge, and whom it seems you have quitted for this ceremony?
18285where is my fee?
18285would you impose upon me with falsehoods?
46531( God is good and never does any evil to any one: all he does in and to himself)?
46531( It is true you have long forsaken the vanities of the world, but have you set your heart to seek the eternal emancipation of your soul?).
46531( The question is whether the affections are not causes of the palpitation of the heart?).
46531( Were the fair Bhringis the Fringis or Franks of modern times?
46531And how can the soul be viewed in the plurality, when all things have been absorbed in the unity?
46531And what is it by the avoidance of which, we avoid and forsake everything in the world?
46531Bhusunda related:--There is in this world, the god of gods Hara( Horus?)
46531Do n''t you yet perceive that these false creations of your imagination, are as unreal as the situation or appearance of mountains in the empty air?
46531Do you know that these vagaries are the creatures of your avarice, and mere creations of your fancy?
46531Have ye obtained your release from weaving the web of your desires?
46531Have you obtained the obtainable one, that is alone to be obtained, and are you set above the fears, that incessantly hunt after all mankind?
46531Have you seen, O sage, a wounded stag flying before me this way, with an arrow fixed in its back?
46531How can any thing come to existence, without having its seed of the like nature?
46531How can you call one to be a Brahman, who lifts up his arms and proclaims himself about to be a sudra?
46531How is it that even he the holy Nárada himself, could lose his patience and countenance who leads his life of celibacy all along?
46531I beheld the big breed of the peacocks forming the vehicles of war god;( Skanda, Alexander)?
46531If not, then who were this class of demigods?).
46531Instead of making inquiries in these solemn truths, you are passing your time like the ignorant in your fooleries only?
46531Knowing neither the one nor the other to be uniform and monotonous, what is it thou callest as real pleasure or pain?
46531Lady, said he why do you come so soon to me, and leave off the enjoyment of thy happiness?
46531O my simple heart, why dost thou throb in vain and thrill at every vein within me?
46531Ráma asked:--Who was this Sikhidhwaja, sir, and how did he maintain the firmness of his purpose?
46531Say what man is there, who neglects his life and livelihood, and remains only, in his intellect?
46531The sanskrit is frequently unclear, and in some places illegible( represented by?
46531There why such desire, and for what good and use, and why should the dreaming man be deluded to drink the show of water in the mirage?
46531What art thou, O lotus eyed maid, and whence comest thou to this place?
46531When will that moonlike beauty be inflamed with her love to me?
46531Whence comes this error of my personality, why does it grow up and where does it subsist( in the body or in the mind)?
46531Why do n''t you discuss about the natures of bondage and liberation in the company of the learned, and pay your homage at their venerable feet?
46531Why is it then that the dead do not perceive the objects of their sense, as well as the living who know the objects in their right manner?
46531and oh my faithful mind, that art pure as air, why dost thou lose thy reason and right discretion?
46531explain to me in short, how the ever existent Deity remains as non- existent, and could it come to existence from its prior state of nihility?
46531that you delight in these false playings of fools?
46531the lecture that I gave yesterday, which was fraught with deep sense and knowledge of transcendental truth?
46531why comest thou here, and how long hast thou been herein?
46531why do I wail like the ignorant( for this change in my changeful body), when my soul suffers no change by this?
6686But if there be thorns?
6686But if there by only cruel glances?
6686Do you in your lonely musing hear the message of the hereafter?
6686I am of an age with each, what matter if my hair turns grey?
6686Who is there to weave their passionate songs, if I sit on the shore of life and contemplate death and the beyond? 6686 Youth, why do you stand so still under the shadow of the tree?"
668621 Why did he choose to come to my door, the wandering youth, when the day dawned?
668623 Why do you sit there and jingle your bracelets in mere idle sport?
668625"Come to us, youth, tell us truly why there is madness in your eyes?"
668637 Would you put your wreath of fresh flowers on my neck, fair one?
66864 Ah me, why did they build my house by the road to the market town?
668652 Why did the lamp go out?
668653 Why do you put me to shame with a look?
668654 Where do you hurry with your basket this late evening when the marketing is over?
668663 Traveller, must you go?
668665 Is that your call again?
66867 O mother, the young Prince is to pass by our door,--how can I attend to my work this morning?
668681 Why do you whisper so faintly in my ears, O Death, my Death?
668685 Who are you, reader, reading my poems an hundred years hence?
6686Ah, but, where is it?
6686Ah, where is the sunny green shore, where is your nest?
6686Ah, who has held me so long in delusion here?"
6686And we asked each other in dismay,"Is there a land beyond these hills where we live?"
6686Are you happy?
6686But where can you shelter under this open sky?
6686But why did you stop for a moment and glance at my face through your veil while you walked by the riverside path with the full pitcher upon your hip?
6686But, gatekeeper, do you ask for your toll?
6686Do the flowers never drop on the dust in soft death in your garden?
6686Do the memories of vanished months of May linger in my limbs?
6686Do the silent- winged stars never climb the sky above your pitiless tower?
6686Do you call me?
6686Do you hear, he is gently shaking the chain which fastens the door?
6686Do you see the clouds wrapping the sky?
6686Do you see the clouds wrapping the sky?
6686Does the earth, like a harp, shiver into songs with the touch of my feet?
6686God sighed and complained,"Why does my servant wander to seek me, forsaking me?"
6686Has the evening no music of sleep at your gate?
6686Have you not finished your work yet, bride?
6686Have you not got ready the offering basket for the evening service?
6686Have you not lit the lamp in the cowshed?
6686Have you not put the red lucky mark at the parting of your hair, and done your toilet for the night?
6686He alighted at my door and asked in a tired voice,"Where is she?"
6686He stopped before my door and asked me with an eager cry,"Where is she?"
6686He struck his forehead wildly-- where, O where had he without knowing it achieved success?
6686How are you, my child?
6686How can the body touch the flower which only the spirit may touch?
6686How could I know that you could see me where I stood in the dark?
6686I ask myself,"Is it a dream?"
6686I had given all my day to you, cruel mistress, must you also rob me of my night?
6686I weep and ask my heart,"Why does he not come back?"
6686Is it then true that the dewdrops fall from the eyes of night when I am seen, and the morning light is glad when it wraps my body round?
6686Is it then true that the mystery of the Infinite is written on this little forehead of mine?
6686Is it true that my lips are sweet like the opening bud of the first conscious love?
6686Is it true, is it true, that your love travelled alone through ages and worlds in search of me?
6686Is it wise to break one''s heart for the one who takes her heart away?
6686Is the time for your parting come?
6686Is there none to carry your banner before you, and will not the night be on fire with your red torch- lights, O Death, my Death?
6686Is this how you must woo and win me with the opiate of drowsy murmur and cold kisses, O Death, my Death?
6686Must you call me, you unquiet one?
6686Must your voice cut through it and smite me?
6686O bride, do you hear, the guest has come?
6686O traveller, what sleepless spirit has touched you from the heart of the mid- night?
6686One day a village boy came up and asked,"Tell me, where did you come at this golden chain about your waist?"
6686Says the free bird,"Among bars, where is there room to spread one''s wings?"
6686She glanced at them and said,"What strange things are these?
6686She raised her large eyes to my face and mutely asked,"Are you well, my friend?"
6686Should I neglect all this to gaze after one who has turned her back on me?
6686That when you found me at last, your age- long desire found utter peace in my gentle speech and my eyes and lips and flowing hair?
6686The man said,"Who are ye that have fooled me so long?"
6686Traveller, must you go?
6686We asked in wonder,"Who are you?"
6686We wondered in our mind,"Is there a spring in the land where she has gone and where she can fill her vessel in these hot thirsty days?"
6686What awful incantation have you read among the stars in the sky, that with a sealed secret message the night entered your heart, silent and strange?
6686What call from the dark urges you?
6686What can you expect when it is too late?
6686What folly is this?
6686What quenchless fire glows in your eyes?
6686What restless fever runs in your blood?
6686What will you have for your reward?
6686What will your duties be?
6686Where are its shores and its bottom?
6686Where do you hurry with your basket when the marketing is over?
6686Where do you hurry with your basket when the marketing is over?
6686Where is this hope for union except in thee, my God?
6686Who are you that follow me with stealthy silent steps?
6686Who can know that your eyelids have not been touched with lamp- black?
6686Who can strain the blue from the sky?
6686Who is it that comes slowly to my door and gently knocks?
6686Who knows the enchantment that can gather and shut it up again?
6686Whom do I try to clasp in my arms?
6686Why did he choose to come to my door?
6686Why did he choose to come to my door?
6686Why did the flower fade?
6686Why did the harp- string break?
6686Why did the stream dry up?
6686Why did you single me out and bring me away from the cool shelter of our common life?
6686Why did you swiftly turn your face and peep at me through your fluttering veil?
6686Why do you come at this late hour?
6686Why do you look at me amazed, mother?
6686Why do you look at me amazed, mother?
6686Why do you put me to shame with a look?
6686Why do you stir the water with your hands and fitfully glance at the road for some one in mere idle sport?
6686Will there be no proud ceremony for our wedding?
6686Will you not tie up with a wreath your tawny coiled locks?
6686You can not satisfy all our hungry hopes, but should I desert you for that?
19630Didst thou say that Sindhu''s monarch on my Abhimanyu bore,-- He alone,--and Jayadratha leagued with six marauders more? 19630 Have I heard thee, menial, rightly?"
19630Have I lain too long and slumbered, sweet Savitri, faithful spouse? 19630 Heard ye not,"the Brahmans questioned,"in Panchala''s fair domain, Drupad, good and gracious monarch, doth a mighty feast ordain?
19630Strange thy accents,spake Uttara,"stranger are the weapons bright, Are they arms of sons of Pandu famed on earth for matchless might?
19630Tell me,questioned Aswapati,"for I may not guess thy thought, Wherefore is my daughter''s action with a sad disaster fraught?
19630Tell me,_ rishi_, then thy reason,so the anxious monarch cried,"Why to youth so great and gifted may this maid be not allied?
19630Tell me,_ rishi_,said the monarch,"for thy sense from me is hid, Has this prince some fatal blemish, wherefore is this match forbid?"
19630Who is noblest,quoth Yudhishthir,"in this galaxy of fame, Who of chiefs and crownéd monarchs doth our foremost honour claim?"
19630And Draupadi noble princess, purest best of womankind, Doth she wander with Yudhishthir, changeless in her heart and mind?"
19630And I weep not for Duryodhan, like a prince he fought and fell, But my sorrow- stricken husband, who can his misfortunes tell?
19630And if freed from shame and bondage in his folly played again, Lost again and went to exile, wherefore doth he now complain?
19630And thy limbs so young and tender, on the bare earth do they lie, Where the hungry jackal prowleth and the vulture flutters nigh?
19630Are the solid mountains splitting, is it bursting of the earth, Is it tempest''s pealing accent whence the lightning takes its birth?
19630Art thou slain, my gallant warrior, and thy father was not nigh?
19630Ask him to restore the kingdom on the sacred Jumna''s shore?
19630Ask the chief who proudly boasted, archer Arjun he would slay, Helméd Arjun sways the battle, whither now doth Karna stay?
19630Ask the dark and deep Sakuni, where is now his low device, Wherefore wields he not his weapon as he wields the loaded dice?
19630Bow to them while warlike Drona leads us as in days of old, Bhishma greater than the bright- gods, archer Karna true and bold?
19630Bring me forth a chariot- driver, let me speed my battle- car, And in wonder they will question-- Is this Arjun famed in war?"
19630Can I ask him, worse than woman, in the battle''s ranks to lead?"
19630Challenge from a crownéd monarch can a crownéd king decline, Can a Kshatra warrior fathom fraud in sons of royal line?
19630Could''st thou, impious Valadeva, midst these potentates of fame, On Yudhishthir pious- hearted cast this undeservéd blame?
19630Dear or hated be the foeman, Arjun, thou shalt fight and slay, Wherefore else the blood of nations hast thou poured from day to day?"
19630Didst thou bear that peerless archer, all- resistless in his car, Sweeping with the roar of ocean through the shattered ranks of war?
19630Didst thou bear the mighty hero, mortal man of heavenly birth, Crushing''neath his arm of valour all his foemen on the earth?
19630Didst thou fight a holy battle when with six marauders skilled, Karna hunted Abhimanyu and the youthful hero killed?
19630Didst thou hide the birth and lineage of that chief of deathful ire, As a man in folds of garments seeks to hide the flaming fire?
19630Didst thou in the council chamber with your insults foul and keen By her flowing raven tresses drag Yudhishthir''s stainless queen?
19630Didst thou say the impious Kurus stooped unto this deed of shame, Outrage on the laws of honour, stain upon a warrior''s fame?
19630Didst thou speak to warlike Bhima as thy serf and bounden slave, Wrong my father, righteous Arjun, peerless prince and warrior brave?
19630Didst thou then fulfil thy duty when, Yudhishthir''s exile crost, Krishna asked in right and justice for Yudhishthir''s empire lost?
19630Didst thou tread the path of honour on Yudhishthir''s fatal fall, Heaping insults on Draupadi in Hastina''s council hall?
19630Didst thou with the false Sakuni win a realm by low device, Win his kingdom from Yudhishthir by ignoble trick of dice?
19630Do those warriors in my absence Matsya''s far- famed cattle steal?
19630Dost thou, sage and saintly_ rishi_, know of wife or woman born, By such nameless sorrow smitten, by such strange misfortune torn?
19630Doth a man of sense and honour, blest with wisdom and with pride, Thus proclaim his wedded consort was another''s loving bride?
19630Doth a secret love for Pandavs quell our leader''s matchless might?
19630Doth he as Yudhishthir''s kinsman count as foremost and the best?
19630Doth he as a sage and elder claim the homage to him done?
19630Doth he as a wise preceptor claim the highest, foremost place, When the great preceptor Drona doth his royal mansion grace?
19630Drupad monarch of Panchala sleeps by foeman Drona''s side?
19630Friendless, kinless, on this wide earth whither shall they turn and fly?
19630Gold and jewels graced thy bosom, gems bedecked thy lofty crest, Doth the crimson mark of sabre decorate that manly breast?
19630Golden suns of wondrous brightness on this fourth their lustre lend, Who may be the unknown archer who this stately bow can bend?
19630Hast thou in thy ancient legends heard of true and faithful wife, With a stronger wife''s affection, with a sadder woman''s life?"
19630Hast thou lost thy fair Draupadi, is thy wedded wife our slave?"
19630Hath not truthful Bhishma sworn, He will fight no wounded warrior, he will fight no woman born?
19630Hear ye not the deep_ gandiva_?
19630Here in glory, son of DHARMA, sits my noble righteous lord, Sin nor shame nor human frailty stains Yudhishthir''s deed or word, Silent all?
19630III The Fated Bridegroom"Whence comes she,"so Narad questioned,"whither was Savitri led, Wherefore to a happy husband hath Savitri not been we d?"
19630If Yudhishthir, fond of gambling, played a heedless, reckless game, Lost his empire and his freedom, was it then Duryodhan''s blame?
19630If the truth resides in_ Vedas_, brave Duryodhan dwells above, Wherefore linger we in sadness severed from his cherished love?
19630In this throng of crownéd monarchs, ruling kings of righteous fame, Can this uncrowned Vrishni chieftain foremost rank and honour claim?
19630Is Satyavan free in bounty, gentle- hearted, full of grace, Duly versed in sacred knowledge, fair in mind and fair in face?"
19630Is he son of chariot- driver?
19630Is it that the fates of battle''gainst the Kuru house combine, Is it that thy heart''s affection unto Panda''s sons incline?
19630Is the youth of noble lustre, gifted in the gifts of art, Blest with wisdom, prowess, patience daring, dauntless in his heart?"
19630Knowest thou good and noble Krishna; as a child I climbed his knee, As a boy I called him father, hung upon him lovingly?
19630Mark ye not these pointed arrows falling prone before my feet?
19630Mighty Bhishma, hath he fallen?
19630Next are these with vulture- feather, golden- yellow in their hue, Made of iron, keen and whetted, whose may be these arrows true?
19630Pained at heart was good Vidura, and he asked in sore distress:"_ Arya_ Pritha, will she wander in the pathless wilderness?
19630Rend my hard and stony bosom crushed beneath this cruel pain, Should Gandhari live to witness noble son and grandson slain?
19630See the chieftains with their maces and their swords of trusty steel, Still they grasp their tried weapons,--do they still the life- pulse feel?"
19630Shall he, sending them to slaughter, now survive and learn to flee, Shall he, ruler over monarchs, learn to bend the servile knee?
19630Shall we, who to mighty INDRA scarce will do the homage due, Bow to homeless sons of Pandu and their comrades faint and few?
19630Shall ye range the pathless forest dreary day and darksome night, Reft of all save native virtue, clad in native, inborn might?
19630Should he rather send a message to the proud unbending foe, And Duryodhan''s haughty purpose seek by messenger to know?
19630Should he send a noble envoy, trained in virtue, true and wise, With his greetings to Duryodhan in a meek and friendly guise?
19630Should he smite his ancient foemen skilled in each deceitful art, Unforgiving in their vengeance, unrelenting in their heart?
19630Soft thine eye as budding lotus, sweet and gentle was thy face, Are those soft eyes closed in slumber, faded in that peerless grace?
19630Speak, what nameless guilt or folly, secret sin to me unknown, Turns from me your sweet affection, father''s love that was my own?
19630Sure some great and mighty monarch owns this other bow of might, Set with golden glittering insects on its ebon back so bright?
19630Sure the Brahman boy in folly dares a foolish thoughtless deed, Shame amidst this throng of monarchs, shall it be the Brahman''s meed?
19630Think, Duryodhan, when_ gandharvas_ took thee captive and a slave, Did not Arjun rend thy fetters, Arjun righteous chief and brave?
19630Unto Krishna as a_ rishi_ should the foremost rank be given?
19630Unto Krishna for his knowledge should the noble prize we yield?
19630Unto Krishna should we render honour for his warlike fame?
19630Warlike Drona, doth he guard us like a broad and ample shield?
19630Was he then our eldest brother we have in the battle slain, And our nearest dearest elder fell upon the gory plain?
19630Was this dream my fair Savitri, dost thou of this Vision know?
19630Weak are they in friends and forces, feeble is their fitful star, Wherefore then in pride and folly seek with us unequal war?
19630What great crime or darkening sorrow shadows o''er my bitter fate, That ye chiefs and Kuru''s monarch mark Duryodhan for your hate?
19630When in Matsya''s fields of pasture captured we Virata''s kine, Did not Arjun in his valour beat thy countless force and mine?
19630Where are now those pious princes by a dire misfortune crossed, Warlike Arjun, good Yudhishthir, by his subjects loved and lost?
19630Where is tiger- waisted Bhima, matchless fighter in the field, And the brave and twin- born brothers skilled the arms of war to wield?
19630Wherefore doth our leader linger when he hears the battle cry?
19630Wherefore then before yon Arjun do the valiant Kurus fly?
19630Wherefore then in every battle are the Kuru chieftains slain, Wherefore lie my warlike brothers lifeless on the ghastly plain?
19630Wherefore voice of evening bugle speaks not on the battle- field, Merry conch nor sounding trumpet music to the warriors yield?
19630Who doth own these shining arrows with their heads in gold encased, Thousand arrows bright and feathered, in the golden quivers placed?
19630Who doth own this wondrous sabre, shape of toad is on the hilt, On the blade a toad is graven, and the scabbard nobly gilt?
19630Who shall face the twin- born brothers by the mighty Bhima led, And the vengeful chief Satyaki with his bow and arrows dread?
19630Who shall meet the helméd Arjun in the gory field of war, Krishna with his fiery discus mounted on his battle- car?
19630Whose this second ponderous weapon stout and massive in the hold, On the staff are worked by artists elephants of burnished gold?
19630Wilt thou as a crownéd monarch rule a mighty nation''s weal?
19630Wilt thou do Duryodhan''s mandate, proud Duryodhan''s willing slave?
19630With a halting zeal for Kurus doth the noble Bhishma fight?
19630Woe to me, from rocky mountains where I dwelt by Pandu''s side, When I lost him, to Hastina wherefore came I in my pride?
19630Would that son of chariot- driver fling on us this insult keen, Hadst thou, noble king and elder, staked nor freedom nor our queen?"
19630Youngest, gentlest Sahadeva, dearest to this widowed heart, Wilt thou watch beside thy mother, while thy cruel brothers part?"
19630and will no chieftain rise to save a woman''s life, Not a hand or voice is lifted to defend a virtuous wife?
19630base, insulting Karna slain, Karna dealing dire destruction on this battle''s reddened plain?
19630bound by battle''s sacred laws, Wherefore fightest not with Arjun for thy house and for thy cause?
19630cheerless is that young heart, Abhimanyu''s princess- wife, What can sad Subhadra offer to her joyless sunless life?
19630dost thou lead the Kurus in this battle''s crimson field?
19630elders, noble lords are here, Can a modest wedded woman thus in loose attire appear?"
19630peerless in the art of war, Can it be that we shall falter while thou speed''st the battle- car?
19630quenched is archer Karna''s pride?
7971And did they claim all the earth only for this?
7971But why rob me of my chance to serve you?
7971But why?
7971Contain what?
7971How do you know?
7971How should you ever have such luck again as to see the God in his chariot?
7971Is there any need?
7971My pitcher?
7971Was it only for this that they said it was the day of the Coming?
7971What does that child bring you?
7971What is great?
7971What work?
7971Who except God visits the poor?
7971Who is the fortunate mother,she cried,"that has clasped you in her arms and fed you at her breast, and whom your dear voice called''Mother''?"
7971Why must you?
7971--I said to Mind--"Is some one to come?"
797113 Whence do you bring this disquiet, my love?
797121 I"Why these preparations without end?"
797127 I was walking along a path overgrown with grass, when suddenly I heard from some one behind,"See if you know me?"
79713 It was growing dark when I asked her,"What strange land have I come to?"

7971I asked impatiently;"was not this body good which is now lost to the world?"
7971I asked,"Child, why did you cry?"
7971I bowed my head and asked,"Is he coming?"
7971I felt angry and said,"That unopened letter with her name on it, and this palm- leaf fan bordered with red silk by her own hands, are they not real?"
7971I stood silent for some time till I said,"Have you lost all the great burden of your tears?"

7971KARNA Must you, who once refused me a mother''s love, tempt me with a kingdom?
7971KARNA Then why did you banish me-- a castaway uprooted from my ancestral soil, adrift in a homeless current of indignity?
7971KARNA Where?

7971Were these parts of a cruel conspiracy plotted in your Paradise?
7971Were you ever small, timid or in bud, Urvashi, O Youth everlasting?
7971What gifts have you brought in both hands to fling before me in the dust?
7971What if her beauty be of the figure and her smile merely of the face?

7971When things were grown to a pile, when seven wings of his palace were complete, I said to Mind,"Is it not enough?"
7971Where will_ you_ take shelter?
7971Who says it is hard to forget?
7971Whom should they seek?
7971Why is such splendour about you to lure the heart of one who is nothing?
7971Why set a bottomless chasm between Arjuna and myself, turning the natural attachment of kinship to the dread attraction of hate?
7971Would you know them, friend, if the words were colourless?
7971Would you know them, friend, if there were no tune?
7971You can go back to your work and your glory, but what is left for me?
7971and even lead you to slight a Brahmin''s blessing?"
7971and why should my name take such music from her tongue as to draw my heart out to him and his brothers?
7971she asks,"to draw water?"
11738''And who are these fellows who set themselves up for wise men? 11738 ''But how can I make this underground passage?''
11738''But how can I manage this?'' 11738 ''But why should I waste your time with needless arguments?
11738''Have you no clever thief here,''I replied,''accustomed to such work?'' 11738 ''Tell me,''he answered,''how far do you regard virtue as superior to the other two?''
11738''Who is he?'' 11738 But is there no danger?"
11738How can that be?
11738How can there be danger when the ceremony is to be performed by his own queen, in his own private gardens, where no stranger can enter? 11738 Meanwhile the rascal took the anklet he had stolen to the husband, saying:''I wish to dispose of this, will you buy it?''
11738Not having his eyes yet opened, he started as if thunderstruck, and said:''My dear, what does all this mean? 11738 Of what family was she?"
11738Recognising the ornament as having been his wife''s, he asked:''Where did you get this?'' 11738 Shall that monster carry off the lady before our eyes?
11738Tell me,said he,"who they were, and how they prove the truth of your answers?"
11738What best accomplishes difficult things?
11738What is love?
11738What is most to the advantage of a householder?
11738What is your plan?
11738''Did I ever deceive you?''
11738''Is this your child?''
11738''What would I say?
11738After I was rested and refreshed, he asked me,"What has brought you back so soon?
11738After some further talk, I asked him:"Friend, what do you now intend to do?"
11738And I, having my mind occupied by astonishment, thought:"Is this Lakshmi?
11738And how did you get all these attendants?"
11738And who can this beautiful lady be?
11738Are there not the six thousand verses composed for the use of kings, and containing the whole science?
11738Are they not often themselves cheated by the unlearned?
11738Are they the less worshipped on that account?
11738Are you willing, if you are pardoned, to forsake your evil ways, and lead an honest life?
11738As she said this, I called out:"O old woman, who ever bound a god or the wind, Shall these crows catch an eagle?"
11738Being struck by the appearance of the child, he said"Where did you get this beautiful boy, who is like a king''s son?
11738Besides, have not the learned and clever ministers and counsellors approved of it, and is it likely that they would be deceived?"
11738But I have done nothing to offend him; why should he so distress me?
11738But why should I preach to you thus?
11738Can you expect that I will confer on you this beauty for the sake of my rivals?"
11738Can you tell me where to find him?"
11738Cruel, indeed, was Târâvali, who, when she had received you again from Kuvera, did not bring you at once to me; but what could I expect from her?
11738Do they always do right?
11738Do you think he has no cause for anger against you?
11738Give up your exertions; the prince is the only physician who can cure me; and how can he come to me here?"
11738Going up to him, I asked"What is this concourse of people?
11738Great was their mutual astonishment and joy when they recognised each other, the prince exclaiming,"Is it possible?
11738Have you not robbed him of his intended wife, by bribing her father?
11738Have you, in your travels, met with any very extraordinary adventure?"
11738Having heard this, I made my appearance, and said:"O lovely lady, do you ask how you have offended Kâma?
11738He answered furiously:"You purse- proud wretch, do you think I will not take my master''s part?
11738He hesitated for a moment, and looked very hard at me; but at last he said:"What harm can there be in telling you?
11738He took it to our master, the god Kuvera, who sent for me, and asked,"What induced you to bring this child?"
11738He, having heard nothing of what his servant had said, when summoned and asked"Have you a confidential servant named Vimardaka?"
11738How came you to be in such a place, and why did the lady wish to destroy herself?"
11738How can she do this without her ornaments?
11738How is it possible that the princess should have fallen in love with such a paltry wretch, overlooking a man like me?
11738How is my bed of leaves exchanged for this soft couch?
11738I am deceived, he is not coming; O my heart, how can this be borne?
11738I asked her, therefore:"Will you allow me to examine that picture?"
11738I asked him therefore:"Do you know anything of what is going on at Mahishmati?"
11738I asked him"Worthy sir, what is this festival called?
11738I asked him--"What is that camp which I see at some distance?"
11738I have been searching for him ever since; have you seen him?''
11738I said to myself:"Who are these creatures whose voices I have heard?
11738I then painted a portrait of myself, and said:"Show this to the queen; she will no doubt admire it, and say:''Is this a portrait or a fancy picture?''
11738I then said to the old woman,"Pray tell me what all this means?
11738I thought to myself I could easily run away from them; but what would become of the poor old woman?
11738If I do not obtain her, Kâma will not suffer me to live; but how can I make known my love to her?
11738Inspired by this circumstance with a happy thought, Râjavâhana said to the princess,"Will you allow me to tell you a short story?
11738Is it possible that such a handsome man can exist in the world?
11738Is it really you, my dear friend Apahâravarma, who have done this deed?"
11738Is there any one among you skilled in charms who can recover him?"
11738Lost in astonishment, I said to myself;"What has become of that great forest wrapt in darkness?
11738May I know the cause of your grief?
11738Now my transformation is ended, and you are so far free; tell me what I can do for you in atonement for the suffering which I have caused?"
11738O adorable Kâma, what have I done to offend thee, that thou thus burnest me and dost not reduce me to ashes?"
11738Observing that she looked at me very hard, and that tears came into her eyes, I asked her:"O, mother, what is the cause of your grief?"
11738She, not imagining what had occurred, would have let me pass without especial notice; but I called her, and said:"Have you never seen me before?"
11738Then do you answer:''Suppose it should be a portrait of some living person; what then?''
11738Then he began:"What is cruel?"
11738Then indeed she opened her eyes wide with joy and astonishment, saying:"Can it be possible?
11738Then they sat down together under a shady tree, and the prince inquired:"What have you been doing all this time?
11738Then, as if my anger were appeased, I answered:"Why should I, who am about to die, harbour resentment?
11738Then, with a knowing smile, he added,"But what makes you look so pale?"
11738What are we now to do?"
11738What are you doing here, destroying my flowers?"
11738What can I do?
11738What did you do when you missed me that morning in the forest?"
11738What has become of the great love which you professed for me?''
11738What have I to do with that low fellow?
11738What is now to be done?"
11738What more would you have?
11738What will become of me?"
11738Whence is this dome above me, lofty as the great temple of Siva?
11738Where do you come from?
11738Where does he come from?
11738Where have you been?
11738Who are all these lovely women, like a troop of Apsaras lying down wearied with play?
11738Who is this lady?
11738Why do you sit here alone, away from the others?"
11738Why should you annoy me?
11738Will this satisfy you?"
11738Will you be offended if I ask you to come and rest at my house?"
11738Will you be so good as to help me, and tie his hands behind him that he may not get away again?"
11738Will your majesty deign to allow her to remain under your protection until my return?"
11738You seem very intelligent; can not you think of some stratagem which may have the desired effect?''
11738and the other saying,"Do I indeed see my Lord Râjavâhana?"
11738and what is he that he should thus lord it over us?''
11738he asked,"and how can I be of service in carrying it out?"
11738how can I find out who he is?"
11738is not this a delusion?
11738is there anything in which you require my assistance?"
11738should there be any pity for the violator of the harem?
11738who can that magician be, and what dreadful thing is it which he is about to do?"
12058Arjuna said,''O god among men, what service wilt thou take in Virata''s kingdom? 12058 Vrihannala said,''Why dost thou look so pale through fear and enhance the joy of thy foes?
12058Yudhishthira said,''How wilt thou, O Sahadeva, bear thyself before that king? 12058 Alas, beholding Yudhishthira a courtier sitting beside another and breathing adulatory speeches to the other, who can help being afflicted with grief? 12058 Always thinking of Sahadeva''s plight, I can not, O Bhimasena, obtain sleep,--what to speak you of the rest? 12058 And O thou of beautiful face, whence hast thou come to the city of Virata? 12058 And Virata, the king of the Matsyas owning a large army, enquired after Uttara, saying,''Where hath Uttara gone?'' 12058 And beholding her forlorn and clad in a single piece of cloth, the queen addressed her saying,''O beautiful one, who are you, and what do you seek?'' 12058 And beholding her in that condition, Sudeshna asked,''Who, O beauteous lady, hath insulted thee? 12058 And beholding her wandering, men and women came to her hastily and addressed her, saying,''Who are you? 12058 And beholding him thus running, the Kurus began to argue,''Who is this person, thus disguised like fire concealed in ashes? 12058 And he of the Kuru race then addressed the princess-- his beloved wife, saying,''For what purpose hast thou come hither in such a hurry? 12058 And he said in hurry( unto Bhishma),''How hath this one escape from thee? 12058 And how have those sinful wretches been slain? 12058 And on reaching the city, Ruru''s son( Yudhishthira), addressed Arjuna, saying,''Where shall we deposit our weapons, before entering the city? 12058 And seeing that superhuman act, viz., the overthrow of Kichaka, they said,''Where is his neck, and where are his legs?'' 12058 And seeing this, Uttara asked his father in a hurry, saying,''By whom, O king, hath this one been struck? 12058 And she reflected, saying,''What am I to do? 12058 And they shall say unto one another,Is it Arjuna himself who is opposing us?''"
12058And what do you seek?''
12058And what work dost thou seek?
12058And when the latter came, the king addressed him, saying,''To whom dost thou belong?
12058And whence dost thou come?
12058And who was my ally, O child, while I encountered in battle innumerable kings at the_ Swayamvara_ to the princess of Panchala?
12058Art thou a_ Yakshi_, a Goddess, a_ Gandharvi_, or an_ Apsara_?
12058Art thou the daughter of a celestial, or art thou a female_ Naga_?
12058Art thou the guardian goddess of some city, a_ Vidyadhari_, or a_ Kinnari_,--or art thou_ Rohini_ herself?
12058As to how I have come by this form, what will it avail thee to hear the account which will only augment my pain?
12058But what can I do?
12058But where are that Arjuna, the son of Pritha, and Yudhishthira of the Kuru race, and Nakula, and Sahadeva, and Bhimasena, the sons of Pandu?
12058By whom hath this sinful act been perpetrated?''
12058Counteracting celestial weapons with celestial, and human weapons with human, what man is a match for Arjuna?
12058Devoted to her lords, and eminently virtuous, also, how will she live?
12058Dishonestly deceived by us and liberated from thirteen years''exile, will not the illustrious hero annihilate us?
12058Hast thou no knowledge of what is proper and what improper for one to say?
12058Having acquired wealth in this way by deceit and fraud like a vendor of meat, who that is wise boast of it?
12058Having, at the time of setting out, talked before both men and women so highly of thy manliness, why wouldst thou desist from the fight?
12058Hearing this, Vrihannala said,''How hast thou, O_ Sairindhri_, been delivered?
12058Heir to the king of the Matsyas, and born in a noble family, why should I, O prince, make thee do such a reproachable deed?''"
12058How also, forsaking thy follower, dost thou droop so amidst foes?''
12058How can I, therefore, being a prince by birth, touch it with my hands?
12058How can my purpose be effected?''
12058How couldst thou meet in battle the celebrated Aswatthaman?
12058How couldst thou occupy the royal seat thus attired in handsome robes and ornaments?''"
12058How couldst thou, O child, encounter that Bhishma who hath no equal in the whole world of men?
12058How couldst thou, O child, encounter that Duryodhana, the prince who is capable of piercing even a mountain with his mighty arrows?
12058How wilt thou overcome this great calamity that has overtaken thee?''
12058How wilt thou vanquish in battle all these that are skilled in every kind of weapon?
12058How would they deviate from virtue that have Yudhishthira for their guide?
12058How, indeed, couldst thou, O child, encounter that Karna who leaveth not a single mark unhit amongst even a thousand that he may aim at all at once?
12058If it be gods, or_ Gandharvas_ or_ Asuras_, or_ Rakshasas_, will Dhananjaya the son of Kunti, desist to fight from panic?
12058If it is song or dance or musical instruments or such other things, I can entertain thee therewith, but where is my skill for becoming a charioteer?''
12058If, meanwhile, it is Arjuna that hath come, what fault can attach to us?
12058In the_ Vedantas_, in the_ Puranas_, and in old histories, who save Jamadagni, O king, would be Drona''s superior?
12058In what battle didst thou defeat Yudhishthira, or Bhima that foremost of strong men?
12058In what battle was Indraprastha conquered by thee?
12058In what single combat didst thou vanquish Dhananjaya, or Nakula, or Sahadeva, although thou hast robbed them of their wealth?
12058Indeed,_ who else save Phalguna, is worthy of fighting with Drona in battle?
12058Is my army going to be annihilated?''
12058Janamejaya said,"How did my great- grandfathers, afflicted with the fear of Duryodhana, pass their days undiscovered in the city of Virata?
12058Kanka said in reply,''O monarch, O bestower of honours, what business hast thou with gamble which is attended with numerous evils?
12058Knowing all my griefs, why dost thou ask me?
12058My excited wrath will make that fortress formidable, and the clatter of my car- wheels-- will it not resemble the kettle- drums of thy capital?
12058Not knowing the true cause how can I show my discrimination?''
12058O Kichaka, hast thou no sense which leads thee to seek thy good and by which thy life may be saved?''"
12058O Pandava, beholding that foremost of warriors, Sahadeva, engaged in tending kine, and sleeping at night on calf- skins, how can I bear to live?
12058O righteous one, in what capacity wilt thou reside in the city of Virata?
12058Of these goddesses who art renowned in the celestial regions, who art thou, O graceful one?''
12058Of what use to us would the kine be or this vast wealth also, if Duryodhana were to sink, like a boat, in the ocean of_ Partha_?''
12058Of what value is life, O Bharata, when thou, O son of Kunti, dost not think me miserable, although I am afflicted with such woes?
12058Oh, where is that wrath of theirs, that prowess, and that energy, when they quietly bear their wife to be thus insulted by a wicked wretch?
12058Or art thou Alamvusha, or Misrakesi, Pundarika, or Malini, or the queen of Indra, or of Varuna?
12058Or possessed of beauty like Rati''s, art thou, she who sporteth in the embraces of the God of love?
12058Or, art thou the spouse of Viswakarma, or of the creative Lord himself?
12058Or, which amongst these--_Hri, Sri, Kirti_ and_ Kanti_,--art thou, O thou of beautiful face?
12058Possessed of such attributes, doth not this bull among kings, this son of Pandu, deserve, O monarch, to occupy a royal seat?''"
12058Queen of the sons of Pandu and daughter of Drupada, who else, save myself, would wish to live, having fallen into such a plight?
12058SECTION LXXII"Virata said,''Why, O best among the Pandavas, dost thou not wish to accept as wife this my daughter that I bestow upon thee?''
12058SECTION XLV"Uttara said,''O hero, mounting on this large car with myself as driver, which division of the( hostile) army wouldst thou penetrate?
12058SECTION XVIII"Draupadi said,''What grief hath she not who hath Yudhishthira for her husband?
12058This my banner-- single and grand-- will it not alone be equal unto those of thy city?
12058Thus addressed, Vrihannala replied unto the prince, saying,''What ability have I to act as a charioteer in the field of battle?
12058Unacquainted as she is with any kind of womanly work, what office will Krishna, the daughter of Drupada, perform?
12058Upon this, the illustrious king Yudhishthira said,''Why should not he conquer that hath Vrihannala for his charioteer?''
12058What Kshatriya is there that expressed delight at having obtained a kingdom by means of dice, like this wicked and shameless son of Dhritarashtra?
12058What business have we with the sons of Pandu, destitute as they are of wealth, might, and prowess?
12058What can I do when I am not there?
12058What can I( a weak woman) do when Virata, deficient in virtue, coolly suffereth my innocent self to be thus wronged by a wretch?
12058What can be sadder than this, that people should know thee as Virata''s cook, Vallava by name, and therefore one that is sunk in servitude?
12058What hath Partha to do with these, and why is he to be praised for these?
12058What male person then is there that can resist thy attraction?
12058What manliness is there in such an act?
12058What office wilt thou, O Vrikodara, fill in the city of Virata?''"
12058What other princess, save Draupadi, would live having suffered such intense misery?
12058What shall I do?
12058What thou hast done, however, O thou of wicked deeds, is to drag that princess to court while she was ill and had but one raiment on?
12058What wilt thou, O king, afflicted as thou art with calamity, do?
12058When man is there, even amongst all the gods and the_ Asuras_, that will endure to stand in the teeth of the straight arrows shot from my bow?
12058When thou runnest away, leaving the battle, where is thy persistence in battle?
12058When, therefore, thou art afflicted with misery, who is it that will not, O thou of beautiful hips, feel it?
12058Whence is this thy grief?''
12058Where, alas, are those mighty warriors today who, though living in disguise, have always granted protection unto those that solicit it?
12058Which of these is Nakula, and which Sahadeva and where is the celebrated Draupadi?
12058Which of these, O king, wouldst thou choose, and where, O foremost of monarchs, shall we spend this year?''
12058Whither shall I go?
12058Who else in this world than Dhananjaya, would alone come against us?
12058Who else of my position, save myself, could live, having been kicked by Kichaka in the very sight of the wicked king of the Matsyas?
12058Who else, save myself, could bear such second insult as the wicked Saindhava offered me while residing in the forest?
12058Who is there in the whole world that will not succumb to the influence of desire beholding thy face?
12058Who is there that would, binding his own hands and feet and tying a huge stone unto his neck, cross the ocean swimming with his bare arms?
12058Who was my ally while engaged in the terrific conflict at_ Khandava_ against so many celestials and_ Danavas_?
12058Who would ever extol a person upon hearing the neigh only of his steeds?
12058Who, gentle one, hath done thee wrong?
12058Whose are these arrows furnished with wing around, numbering a thousand, having golden heads, and cased in golden quivers?
12058Whose are these seven hundred arrows, long and thick, capable of drinking( the enemy''s) blood, and looking like the crescent- shaped moon?
12058Whose is this beautiful and long sword, sable in hue as the sky, mounted with gold, well- tempered, and cased in a sheath of goat- skin?
12058Whose is this beautiful bow which is variegated with gold and gems, and on which are golden insects set with beautiful stones?
12058Whose is this excellent bow of good sides and easy hold, on the staff of which shine golden elephants of such brightness?
12058Whose is this excellent bow, adorned with three scores of_ Indragopakas_[43] of pure gold, placed on the back of the staff at proper intervals?
12058Whose is this excellent bow, furnished with three golden suns of great effulgence, blazing forth with such brilliancy?
12058Whose is this handsome scimitar of polished blade and golden hilt?
12058Whose is this sable quiver,[44] bearing five images of tigers, which holdeth shafts intermined with boar- eared arrows altogether numbering ten?
12058Why are all these of foremost car- warriors,--Bhishma and Drona and Kripa and Vikarna and Drona''s son,--now sitting on their cars, panic- stricken?
12058Why are not those trumpets sounded now, as they were when thou hadst set out from thy kingdom?
12058Why art thou in such a hurry, O gazelle- eyed maiden?
12058Why art thou named Krishna and why Arjuna and Phalguna and Jishnu and Kiritin and Vibhatsu, and for what art thou Dhananjaya and Savyasachin?
12058Why art thou, therefore, so dispirited and agitated and terrified by the blare of this conch, as if thou wert an ordinary person?''
12058Why dost thou desire me, even like an infant lying on its mother''s lap wishing to catch the moon?
12058Why dost thou not, O Bhimasena, regard me as one dead?
12058Why dost thou today, O Kichaka, solicit me so persistently even as a sick person wisheth for the night that will put a stop to his existence?
12058Why dost thou, O Bhimasena, lie down as one dead?
12058Why dost thou, O tiger among men, succumb in the midst of the foe?
12058Why dost thou, therefore, boast of thyself?
12058Why is thy face, O beauteous lady, so cheerless?
12058Why should I not, therefore, give battle to the Kurus?
12058Why should not my son vanquish all those with Bhishma and Drona as their leaders?
12058Why shouldst thou, O Vrihannala, make me a polluted and unclean bearer of corpses, by compelling me to come in contact with a corpse?''
12058Why then, O Bharata, dost thou not regard me as one afflicted with diverse miseries, like one forlorn and immersed in a sea of sorrow?''"
12058Why, O amiable damsel, dost thou weep?
12058Why, O tiger among men, dost thou become so dispirited in the midst of foes?
12058With such a one for his ally, why should not thy son conquer the foe?''
12058With this prowess of thine, how couldst thou wish to carry off the cattle by force?
12058[ 46] Whose is this excellent sword irresistible, and terrible to adversaries, with the mark of a toad on it, and pointed like a toad''s head?
6523A letter for me?
6523Ah, well, and where did you pick him up?
6523Am I like you, man?
6523And green hills are there?
6523And how do you feel to- day?
6523And it''s by some sea?
6523And what did your Auntie say to that?
6523And where will you go?
6523And why should n''t he?
6523And you''ll come back home in the evening by the road along the river bank?
6523And you''ll come back when you have your flowers?
6523And you''ll let me have a flower then?
6523And you''ll let us have them all?
6523And you''ll teach me to cry curds and shoulder the yoke like you and walk the long, long road?
6523And you''re going to play the whole day?
6523Are n''t they really?
6523Are n''t we aware that everything reaches the King''s ears?
6523Are n''t you afraid of the likes of me?
6523Are you cross?
6523Are you out of your mind too, Gaffer?
6523At what hour of the night, Herald?
6523Been to the foot of those hills?
6523But if the postman ca n''t find me?
6523But then you wo n''t want me to be learned, will you, Uncle?
6523But what''ll you ask?
6523But who will fetch me my King''s letter when it comes?
6523But will you play with them in front of our door for a while every morning?
6523But will you tell me who you are?
6523But you are n''t a child, and you''ve no child in the house; why worry then?
6523Ca n''t I go near the window to- day, Uncle?
6523Ca n''t I run up there?
6523Ca n''t you hear?
6523Dear child, will you have some curds?
6523Dear, dear, did you ever?
6523Do letters come from the King to his office here?
6523Do n''t you know?
6523Do n''t you see them run about with round gilt badges on their chests?
6523Do n''t you see why the King plants his new Post Office right before your window?
6523Do stop a while, dear, wo n''t you?
6523Do the King''s postmen listen to you?
6523Do you know I feel like that when I hear the shrill cry of kites from almost the end of the sky?
6523Do you know more about flowers than I?
6523Do you know when?
6523Do you pass our house on your way home?
6523Do you think they will know me if there''s a letter for me?
6523Do, will you?
6523Does his book- learning tell him everything?
6523Even if you did n''t would n''t it be enough if it just bore your name?
6523Fakir, now that Uncle''s off, just tell me, has the King sent me a letter to the Post Office?
6523Gracious me, really, how so?
6523Great heavens, what?
6523Has the dairyman been, Uncle?
6523Have I too?
6523Have you any idea of the trouble you''ve got me into, between you two?
6523Have you seen it?
6523Headman, Mr. Headman, may I have a word with you?
6523How can I be sister Parul when I am Sudha and my mother is Sasi, the flower- seller?
6523How can I buy?
6523How can it be false?
6523How can the doctor know?
6523How do you guess he''ll write to me?
6523How is it I ca n''t see?
6523How is it you''re sleepy?
6523How will star- light help?
6523How''s that?
6523I am off to my work-- but, darling, you wo n''t go out, will you?
6523I asked again,"Why are you going?"
6523I called out to him and asked,"Where are you going?"
6523I suppose the King''s made him our headman here?
6523I wonder if I shall make out what''ll be in the King''s letter?
6523Indeed, how so?
6523Is it on that road winding through the trees which you can follow to the end of the forest when the sky is quite clear after rain?
6523Is it so very astonishing?
6523Is it very far, right beyond the hills?
6523Is it very far?
6523Is that you, Amal?
6523Is the evening star up?
6523Is there no other method?
6523Made him?
6523May n''t I be out of the courtyard at all?
6523May n''t I give them into his own hand?
6523My poor child, whatever has happened to you?
6523No, Fakir, did you think I was asleep?
6523No, how can I?
6523No, how can they?
6523No, why should I be?
6523Oh, there?
6523On the way?
6523Otherwise why should he set his Post Office here right in front of your open window, with the golden flag flying?
6523Please, Uncle, when shall I get well?
6523Post Office?
6523Right down the road there; see that huge palm- leaf umbrella hopping along?
6523Say, Dairyman, where do you come from?
6523Say, Fakir, do you know the King who has this Post Office?
6523Say, Fakir, is it so?
6523Say, Fakir, will the King be cross?
6523Say, Headman, why do you speak to me in that tone of voice?
6523Say, Uncle, have you to seek work?
6523Say, Watchman?
6523Say, brothers, where are you all off to?
6523Say, have I kept you too long?
6523Say, what''s going on there in that big house on the other side, where there is a flag flying high up and the people are always going in and out?
6523Say, wo n''t you get a scolding for this?
6523So I see, but how?
6523Suppose I march you off then?
6523Suppose I march you straight to the King?
6523Suppose they had kidnapped you?
6523Teach me the tune, will you?
6523Tell me what''s going to happen?
6523Tell me why does your gong sound?
6523The headman?
6523Then why do n''t you look out?
6523There''s old mother Jatai; say, chaps, ai n''t he a gorgeous sepoy?
6523Translator error?]
6523Uncle, do you think it is meant to prevent your crossing over?
6523Uncle, why wo n''t you let me go about?
6523We''ll play at war; where can we get a musket?
6523Well, what about it?
6523Well, where do they go?
6523What Sudha?
6523What can we play at here?
6523What do you do?
6523What else can you do?
6523What is it, my child?
6523What is there in the letter, Mr. Headman?
6523What is there to be sad for, my child, even were you to stay at home?
6523What makes you smile so?
6523What shall I say?
6523What will you play at, brothers?
6523What will you see, what is there so much to see?
6523What will your"in this and in that"do for me now?
6523What would you do then, all the day long?
6523What would you rather be then?
6523What''ll be our offerings to the King, Uncle, when he comes?
6523What''s all this rigmarole?
6523What''s all this row you are making?
6523What''s that?
6523What''s the good of that?
6523What''s the matter?
6523What''s this?
6523What''s to be done then?
6523Whatever''s the matter with you?
6523When I get well, I must have my alms too from him, may n''t I?
6523When from the city gates my friend the watchman will strike his gong,"ding dong ding, ding dong ding"--then?
6523When shall I have my letter?
6523When will he be awake?
6523When will this great doctor come for me?
6523When you call in to- morrow morning, will you bring one of them along so that he''ll know me?
6523Where have you been this time, Fakir?
6523Where is it?
6523Where will you take me to?
6523Where, to what land?
6523Whereabouts is he?
6523Who are they?
6523Who are you walking there?
6523Who is yelling after me on the highway?
6523Who''s there?--It''s Panchanan, the headman, calls-- Aren''t you afraid of the like of me?
6523Whoever''s going to write to you?
6523Whose?
6523Whose?
6523Why are they darkening the room?
6523Why call out then?
6523Why do n''t you let them alone and come straight to the point?
6523Why do you call me?
6523Why not play on the road near this window?
6523Why should you sell curds?
6523Why take the King''s name in vain?
6523Will you buy some curds?
6523Will you feel well enough to leave your bed with the King when he comes in the middle watches of the night?
6523Will you tell the postman it''s Amal who sits by the window here?
6523Will you whisper a word for me in his ear?
6523With me?
6523Wo n''t it be nice?
6523Wo n''t the King''s letter come?
6523Wo n''t you sound the gong, Watchman?
6523Would it matter if this kept your visitors off for two or three days?
6523Would n''t that be jolly?
6523Would the doctor mind that too?
6523Would you be my sister Parul?
6523Would you really?
6523You are always out-- do you know of the King''s postmen?
6523You do n''t really mind?
6523You do n''t want them back?
6523You remember how my wife was dying to adopt a child?
6523You will, really?
6523You wo n''t forget me?
6523Your fakir, whoever''s that?
6523Your village is under some very old big trees, just by the side of the red road-- isn''t that so?
6523Your village?
6523[ Addressing GAFFER] What are you standing there for like a statue, folding your palms.--I am nervous.--Say, are they good omens?
6523[ Feeling AMAL''S body] How do you feel, my child?
6523[ Lowering his yoke- pole] Whatever are you doing here, my child?
6523[ Slapping his forehead] Alas, is that all?
6523[ To MADHAV] Will you go about and arrange flowers through the room for the King''s visit?
12370''I asked,What is the nature of the project[ you have formed]?
12370I asked, what misfortune has occurred? 12370 I had warned you, that if you deceived me, you would incur my displeasure; what smell is this?
12370I replied,''Let me hear it; what sort of scheme is it?'' 12370 In the meantime, the soldiers of the governor arrived, and having spoken to them threateningly, said,''Why do you beat him?''
12370On hearing it, she said,''Do_ Musalmans_ keep their wives concealed?'' 12370 On saying this, I went up to the Jew and said, to- day is the sabbath day;[ 289] why dost thou continue to inflict stripes on them?
12370The nurse answered,''What is the princess''s guilt? 12370 When I had finished from praying, she asked me,''What hast thou been thus doing?''
12370''Who can these be,''[ I said to myself],''that they should have become involved in such calamity?
12370A confidential eunuch[ 369] mounted on horseback, and attended by many servants, came to our_ kafila_, and asked the merchants,"Who is your chief?"
12370A crowd assembled[ round us]; and every one asked,''What is this man''s crime?''
12370A worthless, hard- hearted[ boaster] answered,''Who could have performed such a deed except myself?
12370After washing his hands and face, he stood up to pray; when he had finished his prayers, he called out,"Where is the pilgrim?"
12370Again she said,''Well, I have embraced your faith, but my parents are idolators; what remedy is there for them?''
12370And all the countries thou hast conquered, what advantage are they to thee?
12370And now, behold, I have related to thee all my adventures from the beginning to the end; do you yet desire in your heart any other[ explanations]?
12370At last, how could I bear it?
12370At last, when I came to myself, I heard the princess say with sorrow,''What bloody tyrant hath used thee so cruelly?
12370But what can I do?
12370But you having eaten and drunk at his entertainments for nothing, will you remain silent, or give him a feast in return?
12370By so acting, get yourself generally censured?"
12370Did not my foolish brother forbid thee?"
12370Do not you think it sufficient that they are your prisoners?
12370Except thyself, O, mighty Prince,[ 287] What other[ sovereign] can I praise?
12370Giving me a look of anger, she said to the nurse,''If I kill this enemy of our faith with an arrow, will the great idol pardon my guilt or not?
12370Had he behaved ill to thee, that he had made thee superintendent[ of his affairs]?''
12370Has the frog then caught cold?
12370Have not we in England the titles of"Ladies in waiting,""Grooms,"& c., innumerable, which honours are borne by our nobility and gentry?
12370He answered,"O, father, what shall I say?
12370He instantly seized_ Hatim''s_ hand with great cordiality and friendship, and said to him,''Why should it not be the case?
12370He lived and died like the rest of the sainthood; otherwise what would be the use of praying for him?
12370He replied briefly,"What good will it do thee to hear an explanation of what has happened, that thou askest it?"
12370He replied with anger,''What business is it to you?
12370He replied,"O prince, do not you see the army of the_ jinns_?"
12370He then said,"Why art thou come here?"
12370He whose chilblain has not yet broken out, how can he know the pains of others?
12370His majesty lifted up the_ Wazir''s_ head with his hands, and said,"There, thou hast at last seen me; art thou satisfied?
12370How can they speak the pure language of_ Dilli_?
12370How can we know but they may be_ Devs_[ 78] or_ Ghuls_[ 79] of the wilderness, who, assuming the appearance of men, are sitting together?
12370How dares he take away by force the wife of another man?''
12370How much soever I looked, I perceived nothing, and he kept saying,''Do you now see it?''
12370I am a boy, and have not learnt even to read or write?
12370I answered,''what have I wherewith I can return to my country?
12370I asked him,"what is the noble name of your honour?"
12370I asked some one,''Why is there such a crowd here?''
12370I asked them,''Am I really alive?''
12370I asked,''What is the reason that my slave is not come back[ with the rest]?''
12370I asked,''by what means can you escape, and where will you go?''
12370I asked[ 357] the_ khwaja_ Is not this[ young merchant] your son?
12370I asked_ Mubarak,_"O my father, what talisman is this?
12370I began to run after him, with all speed, but the inhabitants laid hold of my hand, and exclaimed,"What is this you are going to do?
12370I consider you equivalent to my own life: hence, if my life goes with you, of what use is a lifeless body?
12370I exclaimed,''O creatures of God, who are ye; tell me for God''s sake?''
12370I gave for answer,"How can the_ wazir_ give his daughter to a wretch so poor and destitute as myself?
12370I gave for answer,"Your worship has, on your part, done me a great favour by giving me these stones and pebbles; but of what use are they to me?
12370I must die at last; then what answer shall I give to God?''
12370I ordered my horse, but they observed thus,''The pleasure which results by viewing[ the place] on foot, can the same be felt in riding?
12370I pitied him, and asked, where are these two now?
12370I replied with astonishment, for God''s sake, what a speech is this?
12370I replied,"O friend, what has_ Maliki Sadik_ to do here?
12370I replied,"in the garb of a pilgrim, how can I desire the riches of this world, which you offer me unasked, and which I refuse?"
12370I replied,''what is that to thee?
12370I said to myself,"This edifice is fit for princes; what an agreeable place it will be when in repair?
12370I said, O, you Abyssinian, what demon has possessed thee?
12370I said,"For God''s sake, why mention this?
12370I said,''You are eating; what would it be if you were to give me some?''
12370I said,''what is the amount?
12370I threw myself off my horse[ on the ground], and called out for mercy, and said,''I am faultless; why are you about to kill me?
12370I went up to him and said,''is all well?''
12370If it utter any thing, what can it say?
12370If she should die, how shall I bury her?
12370If thou wast an infidel, even then what sense is there in thy conduct?
12370If you had not manly vigour, then why did you form so foolish a wish?
12370In a few days I shall spend the[ promised] wealth, and how long shall I live?
12370In a foreign country[ where I was unknown], who would trust me?
12370In my rage and wrath I recollected the proverb, that''It is not the bullock that leaps, but the sack;[ 182] whoever has seen a sight like this?''
12370Is it always so at the princess''s court?
12370It is very difficult to be generous; you are not able to support the weight of generosity, when will you attain to that station?
12370Nothing can he do[ to harm me]; Thou alone art my help; Then to whom else should I go?
12370Now evince some shame and modesty; have patience, and be content; what sort of mendicity is this that thy spiritual guide hath taught thee?"
12370Now, I doubt if you are a_ Musulman_; who knows what you are?
12370Now, whence comes the great wealth of which there is such an expenditure, and of what nature is it?
12370O God,[ said I] what shall I now do?
12370O, kind sir, from such a prison you have taken me out, and now wherefore this unkindness?''
12370Of what prophet''s sect are thou a follower?
12370On hearing it, he became greatly surprised, and asked every one,''Who is this person who has begun to erect such edifices?''
12370On hearing this exclamation, I said,"O friend, what dost thou say?"
12370On hearing this speech, the princess said,"Where is he?
12370On hearing this verse, she smiled, and turning towards the nurse, she said,''What art thou sleepy?''
12370On hearing this, I asked the young merchant,"what merchant''s son art thou, and where do thy parents reside?"
12370On seeing him, I saluted him with great respect; he returned my salutation, and said,''O friend, why hast thou raised this commotion for nothing?
12370Shall I call this the court of Indra?
12370She asked her attendants,''Who is the governor of the port?
12370She praised God, and began to consider thus:"By what means can I carry those rubies to the king, and show them to him, and get my father released?"
12370She replied,"What further justice remains[ to be done]?
12370She said,''As you have come here, and have brought these goods with you, how much profit do you expect on them?''
12370So to make two of God''s own creatures eat the leavings of a dog, in what religion or creed is it lawful?
12370Such is your brother''s treatment, and you are indifferent; is this right?
12370That wretch was quite pleased, and said,"What is the plan?"
12370That young man came up to me and said,"Well, my love, where to will you now escape from me?"
12370The daughter asked,"What were the expressions?
12370The eunuch asked him,''Is all well to- day?
12370The fair lady jocosely said,"Why dost thou tell lies?
12370The king asked with great complacency,''Of what country are you a princess, and for what reasons are you come here?''
12370The king asked,"Who is this, and what has he to say?"
12370The king looked towards her with anger, and said,''Well, my lady, you say nothing; what is the cause of this?''
12370The king was surprised, and asked,"No one was pregnant[ 401] in appearance; who has brought forth a son?"
12370The king, on seeing this scene, became greatly enraged, and reproached the_ wazir_, and said,''Hast thou brought me here to see this sight?''
12370The old man asked me thus:"Tell thy story; why hast thou left thy home, and wandered about alone, and of whom are you in search?"
12370The princess advanced, and asked me,''O Persian, what wast thou doing?''
12370The princess got angry, and said,"I am now tired, where is your house?
12370The young merchant thought within himself,"I have only to mind my own business; why should I to no purpose press him further on the subject?"
12370The_ kazi_ asked me,''Why dost not thou accept thy share of thy father''s property?''
12370The_ wazir''s_ daughter asked,"What use would a blind son have been to you?
12370Then I spoke,"Well said, you are a brave fellow; when I am able, I will show you the return for this kindness; what is your name?"
12370Then the young merchant asked, thus,"If you are really a_ Musalman_ in your heart, then what is the reason of this?
12370Then the_ khwaja_ asked the reason of this, saying,"Why do you not eat?"
12370Then, all at once, the occurrences of last night came to her recollection; she said to herself,''Where art thou, and where this speech?''
12370Then, in confusion, I asked the young man,''who is this precious hag; from whence have you grubbed her up?''
12370There is a saying;''We have slept all night, and shall we not awake in the morning?''
12370They replied,''what can we do better?''
12370They rudely replied from within,"There is no order to open the gates at this hour; why have you come so late in the night?"
12370Three months passed in this same manner; at last I reflected within myself,''how long will they thus remain squatted in a corner?
12370Two or three days after this, I went to_ Mubarak_; on seeing me, he began to weep; I was surprised, and asked him, saying,"My father, is all well?
12370Under the dagger, if one breathes awhile, what then?''
12370What a[ contemptible] thing is an idol that any one should worship it?
12370What answer will you make to this accusation?
12370What dost thou know as to who they are, from whence they have come, and where they are going?
12370What have I to do with shares or divisions?
12370What injury had he done to thee?
12370What is thy religion, and what rite is this I see?
12370What unfortunate blockhead ever comes to this enchanted city?"
12370What wilt thou do after having accumulated so much money?
12370Whatever is in thy heart, speak it out quite plainly?"
12370Whatever the mother of the_ Brahmans_ has sent word of, is all true; inasmuch as it is the great idol''s decision; how can it be false?''
12370When I become hungry, I shall not be able to eat them nor to fill my belly; and if you give me more of them, what use will they be to me??
12370When I become hungry, I shall not be able to eat them nor to fill my belly; and if you give me more of them, what use will they be to me??
12370When I had collected my senses, I then repented[ saying to myself],"What is this you have done?
12370When I pressed him greatly, he said,"This affair has indeed ruined me; dost thou also wish to perish by hearing it?"
12370When dinner was over, a female servant came out from the interior[ of the seraglio] and asked,"Where is_ Bahrawar_?
12370When he finished his meal, he said,"Say what has befallen thee?"
12370When she weaned the child, I said to my wife,"How long shall we remain here, and how shall we get out from hence?"
12370When the young man had eaten something, and drank a cup of wine, his senses returned; I then asked him,''where did you get these stones?''
12370When they brought_ Hatim_ before_ Naufal_, he asked,''Who has seized and brought him here?''
12370Where art thou going?"
12370Who was such a friend to us, that we could have tarried here a moment?
12370Why should not my brother be displeased?
12370Will it be when I embrace his faith?
12370Wilt thou leave thy home, fortune and country, and wander for nothing?"
12370Wilt thou live or die?''
12370With this anxious solicitude I pined daily, and the colour fled from my face; but to whom could I speak[ for aid]?
12370[ 156] What does all this mean?"
12370[ 169] The princess smiling, said,"Where is the necessity for the hot water?"
12370[ 207] The young man became very pressing, and said,"Sir, what have you eaten?
12370[ 239] I cried,''O my charmer, when shall we meet again?
12370[ 341] I determined then, in my own heart, to confine them; but if I had put them in the prison, who would have taken care of them?
12370[ 343] After this, I asked the_ khwaja_ the history of those twelve rubies which were in the dog''s collar?
12370[ 50] This means an impertinent, or rather a_ chaffing_, question, like our own classic interrogation,"Does your mother know you''ra out?"
12370and if she is brought to bed, what shall I give the midwife and nurse, or how procure remedies for the lying- in woman?
12370and what will the world say?''
12370are our lives become a burthen to us, that we should act so rashly?''
12370are you so soon tired of your old friend, that you think of going away and leaving him in such affliction?
12370did he not fear even the great idol?''
12370do you enjoy yourself; but what answer will you give on the day of judgment?''
12370dost thou exhibit to me the temptation of thy wealth?
12370for what art thou weeping?"
12370hasten to get there; otherwise what do you mean to do?
12370have you spent the money, or do you amass it?"
12370how can I speak?
12370is that Persian who is involved in our great idol''s wrath, dead, or does he yet live?''
12370is this man become mad?
12370is thy life become a burden to thee?"
12370leaving this old man by himself, where wast thou gone?"
12370my heart will not mind me, and how can I have patience?
12370of what utility are the servants of the state?"
12370or is it a descent on the part of the fairies?
12370to whom shall I entrust thee?"
12370what am I able to do?
12370what do people call this[ conduct]?
12370what dost thou want with me?''
12370what dreadful words of wrath are these which you have made me hear?
12370what folly hast thou committed, that on thine own feet thou hast walked to thy grave?
12370what hast thou seen bad in our great idol that thou hast betaken thyself to the worship of an unseen God?''
12370what is the cause of your weeping?"
12370what is thy name, that thou actest thus?
12370what net is this that thou hast spread, and in thine own path what pit hast thou dug?
12370what various postures does he assume?''
12370what[ infernal idea] entered thy mind, that thou murderedst our brother?
12370whence have you come, and where do you intend to go?"
12370where is he gone?
12370whose place is this, and for what use are those figures?"
12370why are you so sad?
12370why, knowingly, art thou about to perish?
12370will he favour us with some authority on that point, better than his own?
12169''Heu ubi siderei vultus?
12169''Would''st thou the young year''s blossoms and the fruits of its decline, And all by which the soul is charmed, enraptured, feasted, fed?
12169A child, is it?
12169A message from the sage Kanwa, did you say?
12169ANASÚYÁ And what did he reply?
12169Ah, my dear friend, is yonder upright reed transformed into a crooked plant by its own act, or by the force of the current?
12169And suppose another person touches it?
12169And to whose charge do you leave us, dearest?
12169And what will you do, Mátali?
12169Are my prayers Thus to be slighted?
12169Are then my dearest hopes to be fulfilled?
12169Are these the pair From whom the ruler of the triple world[ 126], Sovereign of gods and lord of sacrifice, Sprang into being?
12169Are we hungry?
12169Are we not one in heart and soul, though divided in body?
12169Are we thirsty?
12169But how could mortals by their own power gain admission to this sacred region?
12169But how did the ring contrive to pass into the stomach of that carp which the fisherman caught and was cutting up?
12169But is he in very truth my husband?
12169But tell me, Mátali, is this joyful event known to the great Indra?
12169But tell me, my husband, how did the remembrance of thine unfortunate wife return to thy mind?
12169But tell me, what made you act thus towards my poor friend Má[T.]Havya?
12169But tell us, kind Sir, why has the King prohibited the usual festivities?
12169But the lady there-- Who can she be, whose form of matchless grace Is half concealed beneath her flowing veil?
12169But what am I saying?
12169But what, let me ask, was the name of the prince whom she deigned to honour with her hand?
12169But which of these austere hermits could we ask to be the bearer of it?
12169But why should affection so strong as his stand in need of any token of recognition?
12169By what luck did you contrive to escape her?
12169By what stratagem can we best secure to our friend the accomplishment of her heart''s desire both speedily and secretly?
12169Can I by no reproaches excite your commiseration?
12169Can it be That the dim memory of events long past, Or friendships formed in other states of being[74], Flits like a passing shadow o''er the spirit?
12169Can it be the intensity of the heat that has affected her?
12169Can the night Prevail to cast her shadows o''er the earth While the sun''s beams irradiate the sky?
12169Can this be the daughter of Kanwa?
12169Can thy steel bolts no meeter quarry find Than the warm life- blood of a harmless deer?
12169Come, come, cheer up; why do you give way?
12169Could, you not, dear[ S'']akoontalá, think of some pretty composition in verse, containing a delicate declaration of your love?
12169Dear Madhukariká, am I not named after the Koïl[90]?
12169Dear father, when shall I ever see this hallowed grove again?
12169Dear friends, why should you trouble yourselves to fan me?
12169Dearest[ S'']akoontalá, is the breeze raised by these broad lotus- leaves refreshing to you?
12169Did he create them by the power of his own mind?
12169Did it pass out of your mind as it did out of mine?
12169Do n''t you remember?
12169Do not mountains remain unshaken even in a gale of wind?
12169Do not you observe?
12169Do you begin already to show a refractory spirit?
12169Do you give credence to this woman rather than to me, that you heap such accusations on me?
12169Do you know, my Anasúyá, why[ S'']akoontalá gazes so intently at the jasmine?
12169Do you really mean to assert that I ever married this lady?
12169Do you understand the meaning of the words?
12169Dost thou dare show a wayward spirit here?
12169Dost thou presume to disobey?
12169Dost thou, then, hesitate?
12169Even though a friend Should wreathe a garland on a blind man''s brow, Will he not cast it from him as a serpent?
12169For here, Two different duties are required of me In widely distant places; how can I In my own person satisfy them both?
12169GAUTAMÍ Why, Nárada, my son, whence came these?
12169Great King, why art thou silent?
12169Has not the gossip about the King''s rejection of[ S'']akoontalá reached your ears yet?
12169Have I not daily offered at thy shrine Innumerable vows, the only food Of thine ethereal essence?
12169Have evil spirits power over my subjects, even in nay private apartments?
12169Have you ever witnessed the transformation with your own eyes?
12169Have you forgotten it?
12169Here I am, Sir; what are your commands?
12169Here, in this hallowed region?
12169Holy father, what are your commands?
12169How can I be otherwise than inconsolable, when I call to mind the agonized demeanour of the dear one on the occasion of my disowning her?
12169How can I help fearing when some monster is twisting back my neck, and is about to snap it as he would a sugar- cane?
12169How can thy arrows be so sharp when they are pointed with flowers?
12169How can we deliver you?
12169How can we ever return to it?
12169How can you say so, when I see your Majesty before me at this moment?
12169How could I think of polluting my lips by the mention of a wretch who had the cruelty to desert his lawful wife?
12169How else could my husband, who was ever of a compassionate disposition, have acted so unfeelingly?
12169How is it that I see no preparations in the King''s household for celebrating the great vernal festival[89]?
12169How is it that the sight of this made me sensible of emotions inconsistent with religious vows?
12169How now shall I reply?
12169How say you?
12169How shall we ever cure him?
12169How so?
12169How so?
12169How so?
12169How so?
12169How then shall I arrive at the truth?
12169How would a mortal to such charms give birth?
12169How''s that?
12169How''s this?
12169How''s this?
12169How, then, can this friend of yours be called his daughter?
12169I am broad awake, but what shall I do?
12169I trust all is well with your devotional rites[24]?
12169If he be not the son of the great sage, of what family does he come, may I ask?
12169If thou art really what the King proclaims thee, How can thy father e''er receive thee back Into his house and home?
12169In which direction, Mátali, is Ka[s'']yapa''s sacred retreat?
12169Is it becoming in a monarch to depart from the rules of justice, because he repents of his engagements?
12169Is it meet that thou Should''st aim thy shafts at thy true votary''s heart, Drawing thy bow- string even to thy ear?
12169Is it not your special office as a King to remove the suffering of your subjects who are in trouble?
12169Is not this very ring a proof that what has been lost may be unexpectedly found?
12169Is our very marriage to be called in question by my own husband?
12169Is that remark aimed at me?
12169Is the Chief of your Society now at home?
12169Is the priest Who kills the animal for sacrifice Therefore deemed cruel?
12169Is this the way to cheer your friend at a time when she needs your support and consolation?
12169It my entire approval; but what says[ S'']akoontalá?
12169Kind Sir, could you come hither a moment and help me to release the young lion from the clutch of this child who is teasing him in boyish play?
12169Know you not that we cherish them in this hermitage as if they were our own children?
12169Listen to me, thou favourite guest of flowering plants; why give thyself the trouble of hovering here?
12169Lives the man Whom bounteous heaven has destined to espouse her?
12169May I be allowed, in my turn, to ask you maidens a few particulars respecting your friend?
12169Most veracious Bráhman, grant that you are in the right, what end would be gained by betraying this lady?
12169Mother, who is this man that has been kissing me and calling me his son?
12169Mother, who is this man?
12169Must you also forsake me, regardless of my tears and lamentations?
12169My child, is the fever of thy limbs allayed?
12169My dear Má[T.]Havya, are not you full of longing to see[ S'']akoontalá?
12169My dear girl, what can you mean?
12169My father, must Priyamvadá and Anasúyá really return with you?
12169My father, see you there my pet deer, grazing close to the hermitage?
12169My revered husband, should not the intelligence be conveyed to Kanwa, that his daughter''s wishes are fulfilled, and her happiness complete?
12169Now that the holy men have completed their rites, and have no more need of my services, how shall I dispel my melancholy?
12169Now, master, what think you of my way of getting a livelihood?
12169O my heart, why this throbbing?
12169Observe:-- What suitable communion could there be Between a monarch and a rustic girl?
12169Or ever dwell with these her cherished fawns, Whose eyes, in lustre vying with her own, Return her gaze of sisterly affection?
12169Painted?
12169Parabhritiká, what are you saying there to yourself?
12169Pray, how did the ring ever come upon her hand at all?
12169Pray, what authority have you over me, either to send me away or keep me back?
12169Pray, why does the Queen cover her lips with the tips of her fingers, bright as the blossom of a lily, as if she were afraid of something?
12169Scoundrel, who ever asked you, pray, for a history of your birth and parentage?
12169Serenest peace is in this calm retreat, By passion''s breath unruffled; what portends My throbbing arm[18]?
12169Shall I stand here unwelcomed-- even I, A very mine of penitential merit, Worthy of all respect?
12169Shalt thou, rash maid, Thus set at nought the ever sacred ties Of hospitality?
12169Since his feeling towards me has undergone a complete revolution, what will it avail to revive old recollections?
12169Tell me, Mátali, what is the range of mountains which, like a bank of clouds illumined by the setting sun, pours down a stream of gold?
12169Tell me, Vriddha-[S'']ákalya, how is the divine son of Maríchi now engaged?
12169Tell me, in which path of the seven winds are we now moving?
12169Tell me, must I rather be The base disowner of my wedded wife, Or the defiling and defiled adulterer?
12169Tell me:--I see three female figures drawn on the canvas, and all of them beautiful; which of the three is her Majesty[ S'']akoontalá?
12169The whole affair is now public; why should I not speak of it?
12169Think you that a descendant of the mighty Puru could fix his affections on an unlawful object?
12169Vetravatí, did you observe the queen Vasumatí coming in this direction?
12169Vetravatí, what can possibly be the message that the venerable Kanwa has sent me by these hermits?
12169Well might he doubt His title to thy love; but how could''st thou Believe thy beauty powerless to subdue him?
12169Well, but tell me, did she look at all kindly upon you?
12169Well, well, what happened then?
12169Well, what was your reply?
12169What Say you?--that[ S'']akoontalá is suffering from fever produced by exposure to the sun, and that this ointment is to cool her burning frame?
12169What answer, then, can I possibly give you when I do not believe myself to be her husband, and I plainly see that she is soon to become a mother?
12169What are their commands?
12169What are you about, breaking off those mango- blossoms, when the King has forbidden the celebration of the spring festival?
12169What are your Majesty''s commands?
12169What can be the reason?
12169What can this be, fastened to my dress?
12169What can you do better than engage the attention of the audience by some captivating melody?
12169What course, revered Sir?
12169What do you mean by detaining the King, who must be anxious to return to his royal consorts after so long a separation?
12169What excites your surprise, my good woman?
12169What has happened now?
12169What have we here?
12169What if he were?
12169What is it?
12169What is that?
12169What is to be done?
12169What is to be done?
12169What is to be done?
12169What is to be done?
12169What is unknown to the gods?
12169What makes you think so?
12169What makes you think so?
12169What man in his senses would intercept with the skirt of his robe the bright rays of the autumnal moon, which alone can allay the fever of his body?
12169What now?
12169What of that?
12169What other can I desire?
12169What other favour can I bestow on thee, my son?
12169What sayest thou?
12169What shall I do?
12169What strange proposal is this?
12169What subject shall we select for representation, that we may ensure a continuance of their favour?
12169What then?
12169What thinks Gautamí of this advice?
12169What were you going to ask?
12169What, think you, will Father Kanwa say when he hears what has occurred?
12169When?
12169Where is it?
12169Where?
12169Wherefore this causeless throbbing, O mine arm[18]?
12169Which among the seasons shall I select as the subject of my song?
12169Which of the two evils involves the greater or less sin?
12169Which should you imagine to be intended for her?
12169While all around I view Things that recall her image, can I quit This bower, e''en though its living be fled?
12169Whither now shall I betake myself?
12169Who can it be whose behaviour calls for such a rebuke?
12169Who can it be?
12169Who can this person be, whose lively yet dignified manner, and polite conversation, bespeak him a man of high rank?
12169Who dares disturb our penitential rites When thou art our protector?
12169Who dares insult the worthy Má[t.]havya?
12169Who else would have dared to lay a finger on a wife, the idol of her husband?
12169Who else would hesitate for a moment when good fortune offered for his acceptance a form of such rare beauty?
12169Who will care for us when you are gone?
12169Who would think of watering a tender jasmine with hot water?
12169Who, then, informed the holy father of what passed in his absence?
12169Why delay, when everything is ready?
12169Why did you try to prevent my touching it?
12169Why do you lay the blame on me?

12169Why, what has paralysed your limbs?
12169Why?
12169Wilful woman, dost thou seek to be independent of thy lord?
12169Will she be bound by solitary vows Opposed to love, till her espousals only?
12169Will your Majesty deign to hear it?
12169Would it not be better to fetch the worthy Má[t.]havya from the Palace of Clouds to comfort him?
12169Would''st thou the Earth and Heaven itself in one sole name combine?
12169Yet what marvel is it That thou should''st lack discernment?
12169Yet why should not Sánumatí''s prediction be verified?

12169You judge correctly And now, what are your commands?
12169You naughty child, why do you tease the animals?
12169[ S'']ÁRNGARAVA What do I hear?
12169[ S'']árngarava and the others?
12169[_ Aloud_] Your kind words, noble Sir, fill me with confidence, and prompt me to inquire of what regal family our noble guest is the ornament?
12169_ Am not I named after the Koïl?_ Compare note 66.
12169a messenger from the venerable Queen?
12169and does not the Koïl sing for joy at the first appearance of the mango- blossom?
12169and fix thy thoughts Upon the cherished object of thy love, While I am present?
12169and what induced a person so delicately nurtured to expose himself to the fatigue of visiting this grove of penance?

12169can this indeed be my[ S'']akoontalá?
12169dares he defy me to my face?
12169drive off the impudent insect, will you?
12169hast thou no pity for me?

12169heard''st thou not the answer of the trees, Our sylvan sisters, warbled in the note Of the melodious Koïl[66]?
12169is his mother''s name[ S'']akoontalá?
12169is it not enough to have been betrayed by this perfidious man?
12169is spring really come?
12169is this to be the end of all my bright visions of wedded happiness?
12169my dear Má[T.]Havya, Was it a dream?
12169my dear Má[T.]Havya, why am I doomed to be the victim of perpetual disappointment?
12169my dear friend, why were you so ill- natured as to tell me the truth?
12169my dear husband, is that the Lost Ring?
12169or did destiny, Jealous of my good actions, mar their fruit, And rob me of their guerdon?
12169or did some magic dire, Dulling my senses with a strange delusion, O''ercome my spirit?
12169or does my heart suggest the true cause of her malady?
12169poor child, what will she do here with a cruel husband who casts her from him?
12169risusque et murmura soli Intellecta mihi?''
12169shall I make myself known, or shall I still disguise my real rank?

11310Do you not know that he died yesterday?
11310How in the world should I get there?
11310Is all well with my lord?
11310Is my dear lord still alive?
11310It seems a pity to fight,he said,"why do n''t you race for the things, and let whichever wins the race have them?
11310My dear little friend,she said,"do you not think it is high time to keep your promise and set me free?"
11310Now, what good can he do? 11310 What are those things?"
11310What shall I do? 11310 Whatever has happened to you?"
11310Who are you, and who is that lovely girl?
11310Why did n''t I think of it myself?
11310Why do you want the beetle? 11310 Again Agni- Sikha wondered if he were dreaming, or if he were under some strange spell and did not really know who he was? 11310 Am I a robber? 11310 Am I not a clever father to have found all that in the forest? 11310 And what should I do if any harm came to my dear one?
11310Are those who are alike or unlike in character more likely to remain friends?
11310But,"she added, as her eyes filled with tears,"will not my lord tell me why he no longer trusts his wife, who loves him with all her heart?"

2518My daughter-- my only child- what harm had she done your father? 2518 My husband said:''What is all this wild, mad talk?
2518Of course,she answered almost impatiently,"of course, God is with them: otherwise, how could they go on living at all?
2518Oh I was n''t it nice of her to come without any invitation? 2518 That''s what I am afraid of, you think, do you?
2518Trying to see me?
2518Was I wrong, Kumo?
2518What are you doing?
2518What do you think, Father? 2518 What else?"
2518What have I done?
2518What have you been doing,she said, with evident vexation,"that my God should make you undertake such drudgery?
2518What is this?
2518What news, my son?
2518What will the wretched woman say next?
2518What?
2518When did you come, Rahmun?
2518Where are you off to?
2518Where have I been lacking? 2518 Where shall I go, Master?"
2518Who was it then?
2518Why did n''t you tell me long ago?
2518Why have you brought me here before your throne, my God? 2518 Why have you told the secret now?"
2518Why,they asked slowly,"are you not moving according to the Rules?"
2518You still call him elder brother?
2518''What do you mean, you silly child,''I rebuked her,''how can we back out now, when everything has been settled?''
2518''What nonsense,''replied I,''the boy is well- nigh mad as it were, what''s the use of disclosing all these complications to him?
2518''When did he give you this advice?''
2518A few moments later I heard a familiar footstep, and the question,"Kumo, how are you?"
2518Ah, yes, I am so delighted to hear it I And the dear Mem Sahib, is she quite well too?
2518Also, if her funeral rites had not been finished, where had the men gone who should burn her?
2518Am I of the earth?
2518And Hari Charan Babu-- I''ve not seen him for a long time-- I hope he is not ill. What''s the matter with Rakkhal?
2518And already the corner of her little sari was stuffed with almonds and raisins, the gift of her visitor,"Why did you give her those?"
2518And besides, what might not have happened to her in these eight years?
2518And every day the Brahman''s son would ask;"Who are you?"
2518And pray who is Ich- cha?"
2518And should their heads be placed south- west, north- west, or only north- east?
2518And the other answered angrily:"What do I care about that?
2518And the queen pines away with grief and cries:"Is my golden daughter destined to die unmarried?
2518And then she held my hand and said:"What do you think, dear?"
2518And then-- where could an old man like Raicharan get such a boy from?
2518And why should his faithful servant deceive him for nothing?
2518And, er-- er, how are the ladies of your family?"
2518Anybody there?
2518Are quite well?
2518Are we not your own kin?
2518Are you hypnotising me?"
2518Artukul tried to reason his wife out of this wholly unjust suspicion:"Why on earth,"he said,"should he commit such a crime as that?"
2518As he was about to leave, he asked:"And where is the little girl, sir?"
2518As she had neither father nor mother, how could he desert her?
2518At last Hemanta clasped both the hands of his wife, and, shaking them gently, said:"Kusum, where are you?
2518At last he asked his queen:"Pray, who is this girl whose beauty shines as the gold image of the goddess?
2518At last he smiled and said:"Little one, are you going to your father- in- law''s house?"
2518At last, when I said that I would try to bring about a marriage, she asked me:''How can it be?''
2518At once he turned to go; but as he reached the door he hesitated, and said:"May I not see the little one, sir, for a moment?"
2518At this point I came up close to my wise Grannie and asked her eagerly:"What then?"
2518Babu, what nonsense are you talking?"
2518Beni, the head man of our village, laughed at me for my devotion, and said:''Why do you waste all this devotion on Him?
2518But he stammered and hesitated, and said at last in a nervous, stupid way:"Do you really think so?
2518But his aunt said:"Abinash, my dear, what are you running away for?
2518But how hate you come here, sister?
2518But she would not show it, and with ready tact replied:"Are you going there?"
2518But what about me?
2518But what is that to me?
2518But what wickedness is in your heart?"
2518By what cool spring, under the shade of what date- groves, wast thou born-- in the lap of what homeless wanderer in the desert?
2518Controlling himself with a gigantic effort, Hemanta said:"What will become of this girl whom I shall abandon now?
2518Could a jackal have taken it?
2518Could you perhaps come another day?"
2518Despite the storm and rain I ran to him and asked:"Ho, Meher Ali, what is false?"
2518Do n''t you know He is reviled up and down the countryside?''
2518Do you imagine, child, that I am capable of committing a girl- murder and a Brahmin- murder at my age?''
2518Do you not know your own daughter?"
2518Do you think I am mad enough to bring a slave into my house, and bid her share the throne with this my Goddess?"
2518Do you think I am such a baby as to be afraid of an operation?"
2518Do you think I asked you to marry again for your own sordid pleasure?
2518Do you think that man knows better than you do about my eyes?"
2518Especially, as there is not the slightest risk of its ever leaking out, why go out of the way to make a fellow miserable for life?''
2518First of all, every one would ask why the king remained twelve years in the forest?
2518First, to what caste should these unclassed strangers belong?
2518From a side room Nilratan came out, and said in an irritated manner:"Bakshish?
2518Going down to the river Hemangini asked me:"Why do n''t you have children?"
2518Good heavens!--What would he do?
2518Grannie said;"Then..."But what is the use of going on any further with the story?
2518Had he not at great expense laid out a splendid race- course in a town, which was a fashionable resort of Europeans?
2518Had n''t you better send him home?"
2518Had they the fairer hue and bright complexion of the Hearts, or was theirs the darker complexion of the Clubs?
2518Have you heard?
2518He blinks at the author through his scientific spectacles, and asks again:"Which Ajatasatru?"
2518He does n''t know anything, does he?"
2518He repeated that question in his mighty voice:"What is there superior to words?"
2518He said:"Eh?"
2518He turned, and looked in my face, and asked me:''Why did he give you such a behest?''
2518Hemangini said to her:"When are you thinking of going back, Aunt?"
2518His companions always asked him:"Who is that beautiful lady in the palace with the seven wings?"
2518His wife stilled her curiosity for a long time; then she came to his couch and demanded:"What did you hear?"
2518How can I afford, with all my family, to buy you new books five times a month?"
2518How can I return home?
2518How can we explain the detention of a woman belonging to another house?"
2518How is Shashi?
2518How is he?
2518How long wilt thou try me, my God, how long?"
2518How on earth was that difficulty to be met?
2518I asked:"Is there no means whatever of my release?"
2518I do n''t know my own friend?
2518I forgot that he was a poor Cabuli fruit- seller, while I was-- but no, what was I more than he?
2518I jumped up and down in my bed and clutched at the bolster more tightly than ever and said:"What then?"
2518I laughed away his seriousness:"Are you sure you can beat us women even in vanity?"
2518I remember one day, when a friend of mine came in, and said to me:"Kumo, why do n''t you feel angry?
2518I stood before him, and cried aloud:"Why are you telling me lies?"
2518I was startled by her question, and answered:"How can I tell?
2518II Returning from without, Hemanta asked his wife:"Is it true?"
2518If I fail in this, then why am I your wife, and why did I ever worship my God?"
2518In anguished tones she said:"Sister, why do you dread me?
2518In the afternoon, when my husband got up from sleep, he asked me:"Why do you look so pale?"
2518Is it true that they are hard upon you?"
2518Is that so?"
2518Is that true, my God?
2518It sounds like a romance, does n''t it?
2518Jogmaya asked:"Well?"
2518Jogmaya snapped:"May I be permitted to hear how?"
2518Kadambini said:"Where is my father- in- law''s house?"
2518Kadambini stared solemnly at Jogmaya, and said:"What have I to do with people?"
2518LIVING OR DEAD?
2518Labanya banished all traces of inward merriment from her face, and kept on enquiring in anxious tones:"What has happened to you?
2518Labanya exclaimed again in feigned surprise:"Which of your friends wrote it now?
2518Labanya struck her forehead with her palm and gasped out:"What-- have you-- done?"
2518May I go home?"
2518My Lord, tell me truly,--wasn''t it a mere infatuation?"
2518My heart suddenly ceased to throb, and I asked with choking voice:"What then?"
2518My husband stammered out:"What-- what lies have I told you?"
2518My maid entered my room one morning, and asked me:"What is all this preparation going on at the landing on the river?
2518Nabendu blurted out:"Do you suppose I pass sleepless nights through fear of that?"
2518Nabendu felt a little disconcerted at this, and said:"Why?
2518Nabendu said, feeling very small:"Oh, they are poor men-- what''s the harm of giving them something?"
2518Nevertheless the magistrate in him asked:"Have you any proofs?"
2518Oh, come-- is it the Ticket Collector, or the hide merchant, or is it the drum- major of the Fort?"
2518Oh, how can I persuade you that I am not dead?
2518Oh, how can I rescue thee?
2518One day he summoned up all his courage, and asked his uncle:"Uncle, when can I go home?"
2518Or were they merely lower- caste people, to be ranked with the Nines and Tens?
2518Phatik answered indignantly:"No, I have n''t; who told you that?"
2518Phatik opened his eyes flushed with fever, and looked up to the ceiling, and said vacantly:"Uncle, have the holidays come yet?
2518Quite well, did you say?
2518Raicharan said:"How could there be any proof of such a deed?
2518Secondly, how could there be a marriage between a princess of the Warrior Caste and a boy of the priestly Brahman Caste?
2518Secondly, what was their clan?
2518Secondly, why should the king''s daughter remain unmarried all that while?
2518She at once therefore proceeded to the next question:"Are you going to the father- in- law''s house?"
2518She began to upbraid him:"You, do you call yourself a man?
2518She called out angrily:"So you have been hitting Makhan again?"
2518Should they rank with the Court Cards?
2518So soon?
2518So with a throb of joy and delight, I asked Grannie:"What then?"
2518The Devotee, noticing my sign of surprise, said:"My God, why should I come to you at all, if I could not take your food?"
2518The King of Spades is saying;"Why on earth is that Ace of Clubs always straining his neck and strutting about like a peacock?
2518The Magistrate pointed to a chair with his finger, and without raising his eyes from the paper before him said:"What can I do for you, Babu?"
2518The boy of seven did not know that, if there were some"What then?"
2518The king would put him the question;"Is it the business of the bee merely to hum in the court of the spring?"
2518The poet, with his eyes shut, said;"My lady, have you taken pity upon your servant at last and come to see him?"
2518The two Companions smiled a knowing smile, and said:"Is that really so, Prince?"
2518Then I sat up, and said, painfully, forcing myself to speak the words:"Why should I not bless you?
2518Then the Cabuliwallah, not to be behindhand, would take his turn:"Well, little one, and when are you going to the father- in- law''s house?"
2518Then, after that, pray what was the use of my coming to you yourself?
2518They apply the searchlight of science to its legendary haze and ask:"Which king?"
2518Thirdly, what food should they take?
2518This letter also was paraded before his sister- in- law, for did it not assert that he was no mean, contemptible scallywag, but a man of real worth?
2518VI Where are vanished now their prim, round, regular, complacent features?
2518Very slowly Kadambini said:"What have I to do with you?
2518Was it so very absurd that this big man should be able to carry off a tiny child?
2518Was it to increase the strength of the Congress, that you brought this wretch into the world?
2518Was it, then, not true that there was slavery in Cabul?
2518We must give it them pretty hot, must n''t we?"
2518Were children never kidnapped?
2518What am I else but that,--just an ordinary woman?
2518What consolation should I have had then?
2518What do you say to that?"
2518What drowning beauty, what incarnate passion shall I drag to the shore from this wild eddy of dreams?
2518What for?"
2518What harm has my grandfather done to you?
2518What will people say?"
2518What''s the matter?"
2518Whence arose this inconsolable grief?
2518Where didst thou flourish and when?
2518Where has he drifted?
2518Where have you come from?"
2518Where is Master going?"
2518Where is he?"
2518Wherever are you going, alone and in this guise?"
2518Who advises you to leave the world?''
2518Who am I?
2518Who bore you such ill- will?
2518Who can interfere with a king''s command?
2518Who knows?"
2518Who told you to go yourself?
2518Who will look after him now as I did?"
2518Who will take in an old man as a servant?"
2518Who would see it?
2518Whom could I console when no one was by?
2518Whose daughter is she?"
2518Whose was this intense agony of sorrow?
2518Why did I come?
2518Why did n''t you call in an Indian doctor?
2518Why do they abuse you, my God?"
2518Why do you show yourself to him?
2518Why do you want another wife?"
2518Why have you come here?
2518Why have you come to deceive him?
2518Why should I make it worse by allowing hatred to grow up against my husband?"
2518Why should you feel so very humiliated?"
2518Why, then, do you now come advising me about Medicine?"
2518Will you give them to her?"
2518With folded hands, he said piteously:"Is this right?
2518With whom should they live and sleep?
2518Without paying much attention to the concluding remarks of Peari Sankar, Hemanta asked:"Did not Kusum object to this marriage?"
2518Would you give her food and shelter?"
2518You are not ill, I hope?"
2518You understand the business to some extent now, do n''t you?
2518and Dada-- is he all right?
2518and the little children- are they quite well also?
2518er-- by the way, how is the Chota Lord Sahib?
2518how could you take it from him?"
2518roared out Harihar,"would you lose your caste, sir?"
2518said I,"why did you take such a terrible oath?
2518what are you doing?
2518what can a good doctor do more than I am doing?
2518what relation is Mother to you?"
2518whither shall I go?"
2518whither shall I go?"
2518would you hit your own mother?"
52309Is this a fancy of mine? 52309 Where did you get these?"
52309Where would you go? 52309 Why should you make way with yourself?
52309***** When he had told this story, the goblin asked:"O King, which of them was the most delicate?"
52309***** When he had told this story, the goblin said:"O King, when the king was so happy, why should the counsellor''s heart break?
52309***** When he had told this story, the goblin said:"O King, who murdered the Brahman?
52309***** When the goblin had told this story on the road in the night, he said:"O King, which was the most foolish among those who died for love?
52309***** When the goblin had told this story, he asked King Triple- victory:"O King, which of all these was the most worthy?
52309***** When the goblin had told this story, he asked the king:"O King, when they were mingled in this way, which should be her husband?
52309***** When the goblin had told this strange story, he asked the king:"O King, why did the boy laugh at the moment of death?
52309A star- gazer and a chariot- maker work for other people, do they not?"
52309And Calamity seemed to be looking on, thinking:"Whom shall I embrace?"
52309And Cloud- banner said:"My son, I only want the kingdom for you, and if you give it up from benevolent motives, what good is it to me?
52309And Hero was amazed, and timidly asked her:"Who are you, and why do you weep?"
52309And King Shudraka saw all this and went back without being seen himself, and climbed to the roof, and called:"Who is there at the gate?"
52309And again the king thought to test his behaviour, and climbing to the roof he called out toward the palace gate:"Who is there?"
52309And as he walked along, the goblin on his shoulder said to him again:"O King, why do you take such pains for that wretched monk?
52309And as soon as the counsellor was refreshed, the king said:"Counsellor, why did you leave us?
52309And as to his knowledge of the speech of beasts and birds, of what practical use is it?
52309And he also thought:''Why does this girl reject kings and fall in love with a thief like me?
52309And he asked her:"What does it mean, dearest?
52309And he ran between them and spoke again to the agitated bird:"O Garuda, what madness is this?
52309And he thought:"If I am born a prince, why am I so poor?
52309And he thought:"Who is this who laments so piteously, as if in deep despair?
52309And he wondered:"Oh, where has my wife gone?
52309And her mother and father were surprised and asked her:"Why did you come back so soon, and in this condition?"
52309And how can you blame either or both of the charitable people who gave food to a guest who arrived unexpectedly?
52309And if I am to be poor, why did God give me so many desires?
52309And if this is a usual occurrence at sea, why do not other goddesses arise?"
52309And she thought:"Who can he be in this forest?
52309And the concealed thief saw it all and thought:"What has the wicked woman done?
52309And the counsellor''s son said to the old woman:"Old woman, do you know anybody named Bite in this city?"
52309And the goblin on his shoulder saw that he was silent and said:"O King, why are you so obstinate?
52309And the goblin spoke to him again:"O King, why do you go to such pains in this cemetery at night?
52309And the hermit said:"My boy, what is this wailing we hear?
52309And the king fell in love with her and thought:"Who is she?
52309And the king respectfully asked her:"My good girl, what happy family does your friend adorn?
52309And the king said:"What can I say?
52309And the king said:"Why are you so sad, my dear?
52309And the king thought:"Ah, what does this mean?
52309And the loud shouts of angry gamblers seemed to suggest the question:"Who is there that would not be fleeced here, were he the god of wealth himself?"
52309And the prince mounted his father''s judgment throne, and when he had heard the cause of the quarrel, he asked the thrush:"How are men ungrateful?
52309And the princess trusted him and said after a little hesitation:"My dear girl, why should I not trust you?
52309And the spell appeared in bodily form, and said:"What shall I do?"
52309And then she spoke to Sandal with words punctuated by smiles:"My dear, why do you not show hospitality to the fairy prince?
52309And what child would give his body?"
52309And what did you fall into?"
52309And what good is a Brahman who neglects his own affairs and turns magician, despising real courage?
52309And what good is there except helping others?
52309And what is this hermit garb?
52309And when he saw that he had come there so suddenly, he thought:"Oh, what does it mean?
52309And when he saw that the culprit was dressed like a hermit, he asked him very gently:"Holy sir, where did you get this pearl necklace?
52309And when the king saw him following, he spoke lovingly:"My good man, do you perhaps know the way we came?"
52309And when the monk came the next day, he asked him:"Monk, why do you keep honouring me in such an expensive way?
52309And where are they now?
52309And where are you going?"
52309And where did you come?
52309And where did you stay?
52309And why should feet fit to saunter in a court, press this thorny ground?
52309Are men bad, or women?
52309Are the crows to blame when the geese eat up the rice?"
52309Are you not aware that I am a connoisseur in food?
52309At that moment a serving- maid came into the room and said to the king:"Your Majesty, why have you come into the jaws of death?
52309Besides, what nonsense are you talking?"
52309Besides, you have surely heard what the poet says:''What fool would go into a house?
52309But Cloud- chariot said to his father:"Father, how can you take your weapons and fight?
52309But Fierce- lion said:"My son, what do you mean?
52309But after all, who can understand the strange workings of stern necessity?
52309But her father said:"What do you mean, my daughter?
52309But his parents immediately said:"Son, what are you saying?
52309But presently she rose, lamenting for the pair so unexpectedly dead, and thought:"What is my life good for now?"
52309But the goblin said:"How could it be the king''s fault?
52309But the goblin said:"Why not Hero, the like of whom as a servant is not to be found in the whole world?
52309But when the eldest said this, the two younger said:"Sir, if you feel disgust, why should n''t we?"
52309But while he reflected, Cloud- chariot said:"O king of birds, why do you stop?
52309Can women be so dreadful as this?
52309Did he weep or laugh?_ 117 14.
52309Did he weep or laugh?_ Then the king went back to the sissoo tree, put the goblin on his shoulder, and started.
52309Did you understand the signs I made, or was it the counsellor''s son?"
52309Do you not know that money is uncertain as an autumn cloud?
52309Do you not know this, you who know things above and things below?
52309Do you not see how gentle his appearance is?"
52309Do you not see that I have the hood and the forked tongue?
52309Do you not see the home of the ghosts, full of dreadful creatures, terrible in the night, wrapped in darkness as in smoke?
52309Do you not see the rock of sacrifice wet with the blood of serpents, the terrible plaything of Death?
52309Have you no sense about this fruitless task?
52309Have you the rheumatism?
52309He thought:"Is she the goddess of love, plucking the spring flowers in person?
52309He went himself to see Good, and asked him soothingly:"What does this mean?
52309How about generosity and that kind of thing?
52309How can I comfort it?
52309How can I do such a wicked thing?
52309How can I find her?
52309How can I partake of such a meal?"
52309How can I save him from the king?
52309How can I touch this loathsome thing?"
52309How can a good counsellor be happy when his master devotes himself to a vice?
52309How can he live then?
52309How can it bear the pangs of being eaten by Garuda?
52309How could I be mad enough to eat a future Buddha?
52309How could a man in my position overlook such a transgression?
52309How could a teacher with such powers promise falsely?
52309How could a warrior''s daughter be given to a working- man, a weaver?
52309How could he be so mean as to beg Garuda to destroy his own race?
52309How could this woman have a goaty smell?"
52309How could you bring yourself to do so harsh and loveless a thing?
52309How could you do this thoughtless thing?"
52309How did you come to this inaccessible under- world?
52309How much less in the case of others?
52309How shall I find another such master?
52309How shall I live without you?"
52309If I should transgress, who would be virtuous?
52309If not, why do you talk nonsense?
52309If the counsellor is lost, the fundamental principle is lost; how then can virtue be preserved?
52309In this strange world who else is so brave as that, to give his son, his family, and his life for his king?
52309Is it good manners to enter the heart of an innocent girl by force, steal her thoughts, and run away?
52309Is n''t it possible to prepare for heaven in your own house?"
52309Is she a goddess come to bathe in these waters?
52309Is she angry with me?
52309Is there no other kind of virtue except in pilgrimages?
52309Is this a dream, or an illusion?"
52309Is this hermit manners, to run away?"
52309Just then the thief came up and said to the king''s men:"Why do you kill this man without any good reason?
52309Or Gauri, separated from her husband Shiva, leading a hard life to win him again?
52309Or a dream?
52309Or an illusion?
52309Or are you possessed by a devil?
52309Or from sorrow because the king came back, and he could no longer act as king?
52309Or how can Garuda, the heavenly bird, do such a crime?
52309Or is she a forest goddess, come here to worship the spring- time?"
52309Or is she playing hide- and- seek with me, to see how I will take it?"
52309Or the favour of the goddess?"
52309Or the lovely moon, taking a human form, and trying to be attractive in the daytime?
52309Or to a farmer, either?
52309Or why at her age does she torture a body as delicate as a flower with a hermit''s life in a lonely wood?"
52309Or why is not the boy Trusty the most worthy, who showed such wonderful manhood when only a little boy?
52309Or why should not his wife receive the most praise, who did not waver when she saw her son killed like a beast before her eyes?
52309Otherwise, why did the fire seem cool to you?
52309Shall I go into the fire, or go home?
52309So Spotless went and saw how his son was acting, and said:"My son, why should you be downcast?
52309So at night he climbed to the palace roof and cried:"Who is there at the gate?"
52309So how can I touch it?"
52309So now I say: What good is life to me without my children?
52309So now why should I want to live alone?
52309So the eldest brother straightway plucked up heart, and said:"What virtue is it which we should acquire?"
52309So the king knew that a goblin lived in it, and said without fear:"What are you laughing about?
52309So what shall I do now?"
52309The brave man said:"If I had not killed the giant in the fight, who would have saved her in spite of all your pains?
52309The wise man said:"If I had not discovered her by my wisdom, how could you have found her hiding- place?
52309Then Cloud- chariot asked one of her friends:"My good girl, what is your friend''s sweet name?
52309Then a voice cried from heaven:"O Hero, who else is devoted to his master as you are?
52309Then she slowly spoke:"Who are you, sir?
52309Then the chief of police went and asked him:"Holy sir, how did this pearl necklace come into your pupil''s hand?"
52309Then the counsellor''s son said:"Did you not see all that she hinted with her signs?
52309Then the goblin said reproachfully:"O King, why was not the general better?
52309Then the king broke silence and said:"Who did the murder?
52309Then the younger brothers said to him:"Sir, why is an intelligent man sad for lack of money?
52309There he saw great heaps of bones, and he asked Friend- wealth:"What creatures did these heaps of bones belong to?"
52309Therefore, as you are a wise man, tell us what you mean by embracing this dead body?"
52309To which should the girl be given?_ 51 6.
52309To which should the girl be given?_ 81 10.
52309To which should the girl be given?_ Then the king went back to the sissoo tree, put the goblin on his shoulder, and started.
52309Was his wife his or the other man''s?_ 125 15.
52309Was it from grief because he did not win the fairy himself?
52309Was not Rama forced to abandon his good wife by popular clamour?
52309Was the night jealous of your beauty; did she carry you away?
52309What advantage would it be to you if all the serpents were slain at once?"
52309What are the syllables of her name, which must be a delight to the ear?
52309What could she do, poor woman?
52309What do you mean by your hour for begging?
52309What does the question mean?
52309What family does she adorn?"
52309What fool would begin a thing and then stop?"
52309What good would life be to us otherwise?"
52309What happiness is there in a life of constant mourning for your children?
52309What high- minded man would want a kingdom after killing his relatives just for the sake of this wretched, perishable body?
52309What is it to them, or they to it?
52309What is the use of throwing him into a well now?
52309What madness is this?
52309What might she not do next?"
52309What need of more words?
52309What rights have you in my wife?
52309What shall I do?"
52309What will happen now, when he loves a fairy?
52309What will holy men not do out of regard to those who seek aid?
52309What would my father say if he saw me now, or any relative, or any friend?
52309When Hero heard this, he was frightened and said:"Goddess, is there any remedy for this, any way in which the king might be saved?"
52309When Lotus- lake saw that terrible fall, he cried:"Oh, what does it mean?"
52309When so good a wife is gone, how could I think of another?"
52309When the counsellor was rested, the merchant asked him:"Who are you?
52309When the goblin had told this story, he asked the king:"O King, which of these two deserves more credit for plunging into the sea?"
52309When the king saw this, he took it and asked the treasurer:"Where have you been keeping the fruits which the monk brought?
52309Whence do you come?
52309Where can I find such a sacrifice for the giant?
52309Where did you go?
52309Where has the great being been carried by my enemy?
52309Where is that heavenly garden?
52309Where is the great man?
52309Where shall I go now, naked and dusty as I am?
52309Where shall I see you again?
52309Which are worse, men or women?_ 25 4.
52309Which are worse, men or women?_ Then the king went back to the sissoo tree to fetch the goblin.
52309Which combination of head and body is her husband?_ 57 7.
52309Which is the cleverest?_ 75 9.
52309Which is the more deserving?_ 63 8.
52309Which is the more deserving?_ Then the king went back to the sissoo tree, put the goblin on his shoulder as before, and started.
52309Which is the more self- sacrificing?_ 135 16.
52309Which is the more self- sacrificing?_ So the king walked along with the goblin.
52309Which is the more worthy?_ 157 17.
52309Which is the more worthy?_ Then the king went back under the sissoo tree, put the goblin on his shoulder as before, and started.
52309Which is the most delicate?_ 87 11.
52309Which is the most delicate?_ Then the king went to the sissoo tree, put the goblin on his shoulder once more, and started toward the monk.
52309Which is to blame when he kills them all?_ 197 21.
52309Which of the five deserves the most honour?_ 37 5.
52309Which of the five deserves the most honour?_ Then King Triple- victory went back under the sissoo tree and caught the goblin, who gave a horse- laugh.
52309Which of these are you?
52309Which of these are you?
52309Which was the more self- sacrificing, Cloud- chariot or Shell- crest?
52309Which was the most foolish?_ 187 20.
52309Which was the most foolish?_ Then the king went back under the sissoo tree, took the goblin on his shoulder, and set out in haste.
52309Who can she be?"
52309Who could expect a good result from creating a bad- tempered creature?
52309Who is to blame for his death?_ 109 13.
52309Who is to blame for his death?_ Then the king went back under the sissoo tree, put the goblin on his shoulder, and started as before.
52309Who killed the Brahman?
52309Who will save my son?"
52309Who would break a promise that had been made solemnly?
52309Who would sacrifice his child for money?
52309Who would save a common stone at the cost of a pearl?
52309Whose fault was the resulting death of his parents- in- law?_ 5 2.
52309Whose fault was the resulting death of his parents- in- law?_ There is a city called Benares where Shiva lives.
52309Whose wife is she?
52309Whose wife should she be?
52309Whose wife should she be?_ 19 3.
52309Whose wife should she be?_ Then King Triple- victory went back under the sissoo tree to fetch the goblin.
52309Why did he fail to win the magic spell?_ 163 18.
52309Why did he laugh at the moment of death?_ 173 19.
52309Why did he laugh at the moment of death?_ Then the king went to the sissoo tree, put the goblin on his shoulder as before, and started in silence.
52309Why did he weep and dance?_ 203 22.
52309Why did his counsellor''s heart break?_ 91 12.
52309Why did his counsellor''s heart break?_ Then the king went as before to the sissoo tree, put the goblin on his shoulder, and started back.
52309Why did the Creator and the serpent- king choose my only son from the broad serpent- world, and seize upon him?"
52309Why did they lose their magic, when everything had been done according to precept?"
52309Why did you not save me?"
52309Why do we keep such a wishing- tree for the sake of transient blessings?
52309Why do you not seize her?"
52309Why do you say that King Shudraka was the best among them?"
52309Why do you urge me to a sin which is pleasant for the moment, but causes great sorrow in the next world?
52309Why do you vainly try to comfort me?"
52309Why do you work so hard and grow weary for the sake of that monk?
52309Why does that magic goblin keep wasting my time?
52309Why does the fruit of the poison- tree of sin taste sweet?"
52309Why have you come into this lonely wood?
52309Why have you killed my husband and my brother at one fell swoop?
52309Why insist on more?
52309Why not trust a loving, innocent girl like me?
52309Why not?"
52309Why seek the pains of hell by suicide?''
52309Why should I deceive an honourable man, especially as your noble character has made me feel like a servant?
52309Why should I not please the goddess by sacrificing myself?"
52309Why should I not win her favour by sacrificing myself?"
52309Why spend your time in such an evil pursuit?"
52309Why then delay?
52309Why then do you uselessly kill the wild beasts?
52309Why torture me yet more?
52309[ Illustration:"Shall I go into the fire or go home?"]
52309the snake, or the hawk, or the woman who gave him the food, or her husband?
2290Is this a fancy of mine? 2290 Where did you get these?"
2290Where would you go? 2290 Why should you make way with yourself?
2290A star- gazer and a chariot- maker work for other people, do they not?"
2290And Calamity seemed to be looking on, thinking:"Whom shall I embrace?"
2290And Cloud- banner said:"My son, I only want the kingdom for you, and if you give it up from benevolent motives, what good is it to me?
2290And Hero was amazed, and timidly asked her:"Who are you, and why do you weep?"
2290And King Shudraka saw all this and went back without being seen himself, and climbed to the roof, and called:"Who is there at the gate?"
2290And again the king thought to test his behaviour, and climbing to the roof he called out toward the palace gate:"Who is there?"
2290And as he walked along, the goblin on his shoulder said to him again:"O King, why do you take such pains for that wretched monk?
2290And as soon as the counsellor was refreshed, the king said:"Counsellor, why did you leave us?
2290And as to his knowledge of the speech of beasts and birds, of what practical use is it?
2290And he also thought: Why does this girl reject kings and fall in love with a thief like me?
2290And he asked her:"What does it mean, dearest?
2290And he ran between them and spoke again to the agitated bird:"O Garuda, what madness is this?
2290And he thought:"If I am born a prince, why am I so poor?
2290And he thought:"Who is this who laments so piteously, as if in deep despair?
2290And he wondered:"Oh, where has my wife gone?
2290And her mother and father were surprised and asked her:"Why did you come back so soon, and in this condition?"
2290And how can you blame either or both of the charitable people who gave food to a guest who arrived unexpectedly?
2290And if I am to be poor, why did God give me so many desires?
2290And if this is a usual occurrence at sea, why do not other goddesses arise?"
2290And she thought:"Who can he be in this forest?
2290And the concealed thief saw it all and thought:"What has the wicked woman done?
2290And the counsellor''s son said to the old woman:"Old woman, do you know anybody named Bite in this city?"
2290And the goblin on his shoulder saw that he was silent and said:"O King, why are you so obstinate?
2290And the goblin said reproachfully:"O King, why was not the general better?
2290And the goblin spoke to him again:"O King, why do you go to such pains in this cemetery at night?
2290And the hermit said:"My boy, what is this wailing we hear?
2290And the king fell in love with her and thought:"Who is she?
2290And the king respectfully asked her:"My good girl, what happy family does your friend adorn?
2290And the king said:"What can I say?
2290And the king said:"Why are you so sad, my dear?
2290And the king thought:"Ah, what does this mean?
2290And the loud shouts of angry gamblers seemed to suggest the question:"Who is there that would not be fleeced here, were he the god of wealth himself?"
2290And the prince mounted his father''s judgment throne, and when he had heard the cause of the quarrel, he asked the thrush:"How are men ungrateful?
2290And the princess trusted him and said after a little hesitation:"My dear girl, why should I not trust you?
2290And the spell appeared in bodily form, and said:"What shall I do?"
2290And then she spoke to Sandal with words punctuated by smiles:"My dear, why do you not show hospitality to the fairy prince?
2290And what child would give his body?"
2290And what did you fall into?"
2290And what good is a Brahman who neglects his own affairs and turns magician, despising real courage?
2290And what good is there except helping others?
2290And what is this hermit garb?
2290And when he saw that he had come there so suddenly, he thought:"Oh, what does it mean?
2290And when he saw that the culprit was dressed like a hermit, he asked him very gently:"Holy sir, where did you get this pearl necklace?
2290And when the king saw him following, he spoke lovingly:"My good man, do you perhaps know the way we came?"
2290And when the monk came the next day, he asked him:"Monk, why do you keep honouring me in such an expensive way?
2290And where are they now?
2290And where are you going?"
2290And where did you come?
2290And where did you stay?
2290And why should feet fit to saunter in a court, press this thorny ground?
2290Are men bad, or women?
2290Are the crows to blame when the geese eat up the rice?"
2290Are you not aware that I am a connoisseur in food?
2290At that moment a serving- maid came into the room and said to the king:"Your Majesty, why have you come into the jaws of death?
2290Besides, what nonsense are you talking?"
2290Besides, you have surely heard what the poet says: What fool would go into a house?
2290But Cloud- chariot said to his father:"Father, how can you take your weapons and fight?
2290But Fierce- lion said:"My son, what do you mean?
2290But after all, who can understand the strange workings of stern necessity?
2290But her father said:"What do you mean, my daughter?
2290But his parents immediately said:"Son, what are you saying?
2290But presently she rose, lamenting for the pair so unexpectantly dead, and thought:"What is my life good for now?"
2290But the goblin said:"How could it be the king''s fault?
2290But the goblin said:"Why not Hero, the like of whom as a servant is not to be found in the whole world?
2290But when the eldest said this, the two younger said:"Sir, if you feel disgust, why should n''t we?"
2290But while he reflected, Cloud- chariot said:"O king of birds, why do you stop?
2290Can women be so dreadful as this?
2290Did he weep or laugh?
2290Did he weep or laugh?_ Then the king went back to the sissoo tree, put the goblin on his shoulder, and started.
2290Did you understand the signs I made, or was it the counsellor''s son?"
2290Do you not know that money is uncertain as an autumn cloud?
2290Do you not know this, you who know things above and things below?
2290Do you not see how gentle his appearance is?"
2290Do you not see that I have the hood and the forked tongue?
2290Do you not see the home of the ghosts, full of dreadful creatures, terrible in the night, wrapped in darkness as in smoke?
2290Do you not see the rock of sacrifice wet with the blood of serpents, the terrible plaything of Death?
2290Have you no sense about this fruitless task?
2290Have you the rheumatism?
2290He thought:"Is she the goddess of love, plucking the spring flowers in person?
2290He went himself to see Good, and asked him soothingly:"What does this mean?
2290How about generosity and that kind of thing?
2290How can I comfort it?
2290How can I do such a wicked thing?
2290How can I find her?
2290How can I partake of such a meal?"
2290How can I save him from the king?
2290How can I touch this loathsome thing?"
2290How can a good counsellor be happy when his master devotes himself to a vice?
2290How can he live then?
2290How can it bear the pangs of being eaten by Garuda?
2290How could I be mad enough to eat a future Buddha?
2290How could a man in my position overlook such a transgression?
2290How could a teacher with such powers promise falsely?
2290How could a warrior''s daughter be given to a working- man, a weaver?
2290How could he be so mean as to beg Garuda to destroy his own race?
2290How could this woman have a goaty smell?"
2290How could you bring yourself to do so harsh and loveless a thing?
2290How could you do this thoughtless thing?"
2290How did you come to this inaccessible under- world?
2290How much less in the case of others?
2290How shall I find another such master?
2290How shall I live without you?"
2290If I should transgress, who would be virtuous?
2290If not, why do you talk nonsense?
2290If the counsellor is lost, the fundamental principle is lost; how then can virtue be preserved?
2290If you know and do not tell, then remember the curse I spoke of before?"
2290Is it good manners to enter the heart of an innocent girl by force, steal her thoughts, and run away?
2290Is n''t it possible to prepare for heaven in your own house?"
2290Is she a goddess come to bathe in these waters?
2290Is she angry with me?
2290Is there no other kind of virtue except in pilgrimages?
2290Is this a dream, or an illusion?"
2290Is this hermit manners, to run away?"
2290Just then the thief came up and said to the king''s men:"Why do you kill this man without any good reason?
2290Or Gauri, separated from her husband Shiva, leading a hard life to win him again?
2290Or a dream?
2290Or an illusion?
2290Or are you possessed by a devil?
2290Or from sorrow because the king came back, and he could no longer act as king?
2290Or how can Garuda, the heavenly bird, do such a crime?
2290Or is she a forest goddess, come here to worship the spring- time?"
2290Or is she playing hide- and- seek with me, to see how I will take it?"
2290Or the favour of the goddess?"
2290Or the lovely moon, taking a human form, and trying to be attractive in the daytime?
2290Or to a farmer, either?
2290Or why at her age does she torture a body as delicate as a flower with a hermit''s life in a lonely wood?"
2290Or why is not the boy Trusty the most worthy, who showed such wonderful manhood when only a little boy?
2290Or why should not his wife receive the most praise, who did not waver when she saw her son killed like a beast before her eyes?
2290Otherwise, why did the fire seem cool to you?
2290Shall I go into the fire, or go home?
2290So Spotless went and saw how his son was acting, and said:"My son, why should you be downcast?
2290So at night he climbed to the palace roof and cried:"Who is there at the gate?"
2290So how can I touch it?"
2290So now I say: What good is life to me without my children?
2290So now why should I want to live alone?
2290So the eldest brother straightway plucked up heart, and said:"What virtue is it which we should acquire?"
2290So the king knew that a goblin lived in it, and said without fear:"What are you laughing about?
2290So what shall I do now?"
2290The brave man said:"If I had not killed the giant in the fight, who would have saved her in spite of all your pains?
2290The wise man said:"If I had not discovered her by my wisdom, how could you have found her hiding- place?
2290Then Cloud- chariot asked one of her friends:"My good girl, what is your friend''s sweet name?
2290Then a voice cried from heaven:"O Hero, who else is devoted to his master as you are?
2290Then she slowly spoke:"Who are you, sir?
2290Then the chief of police went and asked him:"Holy sir, how did this pearl necklace come into your pupil''s hand?"
2290Then the counsellor''s son said:"Did you not see all that she hinted with her signs?
2290Then the eldest said:"What?
2290Then the king broke silence and said:"Who did the murder?
2290Then the younger brothers said to him:"Sir, why is an intelligent man sad for lack of money?
2290There he saw great heaps of bones, and he asked Friend- wealth:"What creatures did these heaps of bones belong to?"
2290Therefore, as you are a wise man, tell us what you mean by embracing this dead body?"
2290To which should the girl be given?
2290To which should the girl be given?
2290To which should the girl be given?_ Then the king went back to the sissoo tree, put the goblin on his shoulder, and started.
2290Was his wife his or the other man''s?
2290Was it from grief because he did not win the fairy himself?
2290Was not Rama forced to abandon his good wife by popular clamour?
2290Was the night jealous of your beauty; did she carry you away?
2290What advantage would it be to you if all the serpents were slain at once?"
2290What are the syllables of her name, which must be a delight to the ear?
2290What could she do, poor woman?
2290What do you mean by your hour for begging?
2290What does the question mean?
2290What family does she adorn?"
2290What fool would begin a thing and then stop?"
2290What good would life be to us otherwise?"
2290What happiness is there in a life of constant mourning for your children?
2290What high- minded man would want a kingdom after killing his relatives just for the sake of this wretched, perishable body?
2290What is it to them, or they to it?
2290What is the use of throwing him into a well now?
2290What madness is this?
2290What might she not do next?"
2290What need of more words?
2290What relation were their children?
2290What rights have you in my wife?
2290What shall I do?"
2290What will happen now, when he loves a fairy?
2290What will holy men not do out of regard to those who seek aid?
2290What would my father say if he saw me now, or any relative, or any friend?
2290When Hero heard this, he was frightened and said:"Goddess, is there any remedy for this, any way in which the king might be saved?"
2290When Lotus- lake saw that terrible fall, he cried:"Oh, what does it mean?"
2290When he had told this story, the goblin asked:"O King, which of them was the most delicate?"
2290When he had told this story, the goblin said:"O King, when the king was so happy, why should the counsellor''s heart break?
2290When he had told this story, the goblin said:"O King, who murdered the Brahman?
2290When so good a wife is gone, how could I think of another?"
2290When the counsellor was rested, the merchant asked him:"Who are you?
2290When the goblin had told this story on the road in the night, he said:"O King, which was the most foolish among those who died for love?
2290When the goblin had told this story, he asked King Triple- victory:"O King, which of all these was the most worthy?
2290When the goblin had told this story, he asked the king:"O King, when they were mingled in this way, which should be her husband?
2290When the goblin had told this story, he asked the king:"O King, which of these two deserves more credit for plunging into the sea?"
2290When the goblin had told this strange story, he asked the king:"O King, why did the boy laugh at the moment of death?
2290When the king saw this, he took it and asked the treasurer:"Where have you been keeping the fruits which the monk brought?
2290Whence do you come?
2290Where can I find such a sacrifice for the giant?
2290Where did you go?
2290Where has the great being been carried by my enemy?
2290Where is that heavenly garden?
2290Where is the great man?
2290Where shall I go now, naked and dusty as I am?
2290Where shall I see you again?
2290Which are worse, men or women?
2290Which are worse, men or women?_ Then the king went back to the sissoo tree to fetch the goblin.
2290Which combination of head and body is her husband?
2290Which is the cleverest?
2290Which is the more deserving?
2290Which is the more deserving?_ Then the king went back to the sissoo tree, put the goblin on his shoulder as before, and started.
2290Which is the more self- sacrificing?
2290Which is the more self- sacrificing?_ So the king walked along with the goblin.
2290Which is the more worthy?
2290Which is the more worthy?_ Then the king went back under the sissoo tree, put the goblin on his shoulder as before, and started.
2290Which is the most delicate?
2290Which is the most delicate?_ Then the king went to the sissoo tree, put the goblin on his shoulder once more, and started toward the monk.
2290Which is to blame when he kills them all?
2290Which of the five deserves the most honour?
2290Which of the five deserves the most honour?_ Then King Triple- victory went back under the sissoo tree and caught the goblin, who gave a horse- laugh.
2290Which of these are you?
2290Which of these are you?
2290Which was the more self- sacrificing, Cloud- chariot or Shell- crest?
2290Which was the most foolish?
2290Which was the most foolish?_ Then the king went back under the sissoo tree, took the goblin on his shoulder, and set out in haste.
2290Who can she be?"
2290Who could expect a good result from creating a bad- tempered creature?
2290Who is to blame for his death?
2290Who is to blame for his death?_ Then the King went back under the sissoo tree, put the goblin on his shoulder, and started as before.
2290Who killed the Brahman?
2290Who will save my son?"
2290Who would break a promise that had been made solemnly?
2290Who would sacrifice his child for money?
2290Who would save a common stone at the cost of a pearl?
2290Whose fault was the resulting death of his parents- in- law?
2290Whose fault was the resulting death of his parents- in- law?_ There is a city called Benares where Shiva lives.
2290Whose wife is she?
2290Whose wife should she be?
2290Whose wife should she be?
2290Whose wife should she be?_ Then King Triple- victory went back under the sissoo tree to fetch the goblin.
2290Why did he fail to win the magic spell?
2290Why did he laugh at the moment of death?
2290Why did he laugh at the moment of death?_ Then the king went to the sissoo tree, put the goblin on his shoulder as before, and started in silence.
2290Why did he weep and dance?
2290Why did his counsellor''s heart break?
2290Why did his counsellor''s heart break?_ Then the king went as before to the sissoo tree, put the goblin on his shoulder, and started back.
2290Why did the Creator and the serpent- king choose my only son from the broad serpent- world, and seize upon him?"
2290Why did they lose their magic, when everything had been done according to precept?"
2290Why did you not save me?"
2290Why do we keep such a wishing- tree for the sake of transient blessings?
2290Why do you not seize her?"
2290Why do you say that King Shudraka was the best among them?"
2290Why do you urge me to a sin which is pleasant for the moment, but causes great sorrow in the next world?
2290Why do you vainly try to comfort me?"
2290Why do you work so hard and grow weary for the sake of that monk?
2290Why does that magic goblin keep wasting my time?
2290Why does the fruit of the poison- tree of sin taste sweet?"
2290Why have you come into this lonely wood?
2290Why have you killed my husband and my brother at one fell swoop?
2290Why insist on more?
2290Why not trust a loving, innocent girl like me?
2290Why not?"
2290Why seek the pains of hell by suicide?''
2290Why should I deceive an honourable man, especially as your noble character has made me feel like a servant?
2290Why should I not please the goddess by sacrificing myself?"
2290Why should I not win her favour by sacrificing myself?"
2290Why spend your time in such an evil pursuit?"
2290Why then delay?
2290Why then do you uselessly kill the wild beasts?
2290Why torture me yet more?
2290the snake, or the hawk, or the woman who gave him the food, or her husband?
41128Foolish girl,replied Kadambari, with a smile,"how should my adamantine heart break if it has not broken at this sight?
41128Surely,I reflected,"Kama himself teaches this play of the eye, though generally after a long happy love, else whence comes this ascetic''s gaze?
41128What more,said she,"can this unhappy man tell me?
41128''"''"How can he have forms?"
41128''"''Impelled by these thoughts I advanced, and bowing to the second young ascetic, his companion, I asked:"What is the name of his Reverence?
41128''"''Or what could there be harder to tell than this very thing, which is supposed to be impossible to hear or say?
41128''"''To these words he replied, with some shame:"Dear Kapiñjala, why dost thou thus misunderstand me?
41128''"''With a slight smile, he replied:"Maiden, what needs this question?
41128''"What shall I say?"
41128''Am I dear to thee?''
41128''But the hermits, looking on me, asked him as he rested:"Whence was this little parrot brought?"
41128''How could she be here, my beloved?''
41128''How has my lord reached this place?
41128''Sire,''replied he,''what have I not eaten?
41128''Where a man hath known his greatest happiness, there is his home, even if it be the forest.1( 642) And where else have I known such joy as here?
41128''Why,''thought he,''did not the Creator make all my senses into sight, or what noble deed has my eye done that it may look on her unchecked?
41128( 111) Why should I say more?
41128( 128) And how in thy presence could any of thy followers, or anyone else, offend?
41128( 235) What fortresses untaken, for thee to take?
41128( 291) When he had thus spoken, Pundarika said to me with a slight smile:"Ah, curious maiden, why didst thou take the trouble to ask this?
41128( 294)''"''And entering the maidens''dwelling, I began straightway to ask myself in my grief at his loss:"Am I really back, or still there?
41128( 307) I will only ask this question: Is this course you have begun taught by your gurus, or read in the holy books?
41128( 308) Who, forsooth, is this Love- god?
41128( 323) Cruel demon Love, evil and pitiless, what shameful deed hast thou brought to pass?
41128( 328) Fearest thou not the reproach of men in that thou goest, deserting me, thy handmaid, without cause?
41128( 337) Why should one so noble as thou deign to look on or speak with me, the doer of that monstrous crime, the slaughter of a Brahman?''
41128( 349)''"When she had finished her prayers, Mahaçveta asked Taralika,''Didst thou see my dear Kadambari well?
41128( 350) How should I fulfil the desire of Love, poisonous, pitiless, unkind, who has brought my dear friend to so sad a plight?
41128( 38) But what need of further words?
41128( 430) And are all her retinue well, with Tamalika and Keyuraka?''
41128( 478) Else where was my approach to the land of the immortals, in my vain hunt for the Kinnaras?
41128( 479) Then in the evening he asked Keyuraka,"What thinkest thou?
41128( 480) Or shall I again behold her face, with its eyes like a timid fawn''s?"
41128( 508)''Do I not know well''said he,''all that you urge for my departure?
41128( 567) For him I neglected all other ties; and now, when he is dead, how canst thou ask me to live?
41128( 592) Have ye seen him?"
41128( 94) But what need of more?
41128Ah, wicked, evil, wanton Mahaçveta, how had he harmed thee?
41128Alas, to what refuge shall I flee?
41128Am I alone, or with my maidens?
41128Am I awake or asleep?
41128Am I silent, or beginning to speak?
41128And if this be so, what must I do, and what must I say in his presence?"
41128And is the world of mortals pleasant?''
41128And so, when I asked her,"Princess, what means this?"
41128And was there any talk about me?''
41128And what has Indra gained by his lordship of the three worlds if he did not mount this back, broad as Mount Meru?
41128And what union could there be between the dead and the living?
41128And when the king had said this, Kumarapalita, with a slight smile, replied:''Where is the wonder?
41128And whence in the world of men could there arise such harmonies of heavenly minstrelsy?
41128And whereby hath thy body, though formed of the five gross elements, put on this pure whiteness?
41128And wherefore in thy fresh youth, tender as a flower, has this vow been taken?
41128And whither goes she?''
41128And why are thy jewelled anklets, with their murmur like teals on the lake of love, not graced with the touch of thy lotus- feet?
41128And why dost thou, erst so gay, wear in vain a face whose adornment is washed away with flowing tears?
41128And why is there no device painted on thy breast like the deer on the moon?
41128And why is this hand, with its petal- like cluster of soft fingers, exalted into an ear- jewel, as though it were a rosy lotus?
41128And why is this waist of thine bereft of the music of the girdle thou hast laid aside?
41128And why, too, is she brought to suspense by these too flattering speeches?''
41128Angrily the maina began:''Princess Kadambari, why dost thou not restrain this wretched, ill- mannered, conceited bird from following me?
41128Are these things pleasures or pains?"
41128At my words Kapiñjala replied:"Princess, what can I say?
41128At these words, in a voice choked by wrath, I exclaimed:''Wretch, how has a thunderbolt failed to strike thy head in the utterance of these thy words?
41128Bewildered what to do, I cried to Taralika:"Knowest thou not?
41128Bid her enter?''
41128Bright in strength, why so confused?
41128Bright with youth, why rest thy weight against us?
41128But again I thought,''What avails dwelling on this useless thought?
41128But how could a woman, tender of nature as a young çirisha- blossom, show such boldness, especially one so young as I?
41128But is it fitting in the Princess not to restrain her giddy slave?
41128But thou who hast done all rightly, what duty of love hast thou left undone, that thou weepest?
41128But weeping women replied:"Why ask?
41128But what can I do towards Brahma, from whom there is no appeal?
41128By my life I swear to thee I am put to shame by even my own heart''s knowledge of my story; how much more by another''s?
41128By what discourtesy has he vexed that lotus- soft heart of thine, that none should vex?
41128By whom have the raised hands of salutation, soft as young lotuses, not been placed on the head?
41128By whose brows, encircled with golden bands, have the floors of his halls not been polished?
41128Can it be ascertained as presented by his beauty, or by my own mind, or by love, or by youth or affection, or by any other causes?
41128Citraratha, however, said:''Why, when we have palaces of our own, do we feast in the forest?
41128Courteously raising my hands, I reverently replied:( 297)''Wherefore say this?
41128Devoid of self- control, why run before thine elders?
41128Divided between joy and grief, she paid homage to his feet, and replied:"Blessed Kapiñjala, am I so devoid of virtue that I could forget thee?
41128Do I weep or hold back my tears?
41128Does a fire not burn when fed on sandal- wood?
41128Envious girl, why block up the window?
41128Filled with amazement, Candrapida replied:''What means this, Madalekha?
41128For Modesty censured her:''Light one, what hast thou begun?''
41128For by thy present grief, what is effected or what won?
41128For how else could such a storehouse of learning become straightway unavailing?
41128For in a heart worn by a friend''s sorrow, what hope is there of joy, what contentment, what pleasures or what mirth?
41128For to one so adamantine as to have seen love in all his power, and yet to have lived through this, what can mere speaking of it matter?
41128For what has this bright home of glory and penance to do with the stirrings of love that meaner men welcome?
41128For what is hard for the pitiless?
41128For what is thy hope of happiness in such things as are honoured by the base, but blamed by the good?
41128For what will not hope achieve?
41128For when was the moon ever beheld by any without moonlight, or a lotus- pool without a lotus, or a garden without creeper?
41128For where is thy age?
41128For who will ever, even in a dream, behold again this place haunted by the gods?''
41128For why speak of beings endowed with sense when, if it so please him, he can bring together even things without sense?
41128For why?
41128Friend, where is thine old love to me?
41128From what tree is this garland woven?
41128Has any wrong been done by me, or by any in thy service?
41128Has anything been said that could hurt him by my father or Çukanasa?"
41128He, however, started up hastily without replying, and with the cry,"Monster, whither goest thou with my friend?"
41128How came thine attainment of the Vedas, and thine acquaintance with the Çastras, and thy skill in the fine arts?
41128How can I cover this error?
41128How canst thou now suddenly leave me, and go thy way like a stranger on whom my eyes had never rested?
41128How didst thou endure the tedious restraint of thy gurus?
41128How do I even breathe but by strong effort?
41128How far did he follow us?"
41128How far off is he?''
41128How is he named?
41128How long didst thou see him?
41128How long wert thou there?
41128How many days wert thou there?
41128How old art thou, and how came this bondage of a cage, and the falling into the hands of a Candala maiden, and thy coming hither?''
41128How otherwise could there be such grace in one who lives in weary penance, beauty''s destroyer?"
41128How should he be here?"
41128How should so great a happiness fall to our lot?
41128How were you and the retinue employed?
41128How wert thou not ashamed to send so cruel a message?
41128I knew not what to do, and asked Taralika,"Seest thou not, Taralika, how confused is my mind?
41128If caught, what is the good?
41128If from a search for reason, how many things rest only on tradition, and are yet seen to be true?
41128Ill- behaved girl, why thus weary thyself?
41128In what occupation has the Gandharva princess spent the time?
41128Insatiable, how long wilt thou look?
41128Is not the submarine fire the fiercer in the water that is wo nt to quench fire?
41128Is the race honoured by thy birth, lady, that of the Maruts, or Rishis, or Gandharvas, or Guhyakas, or Apsarases?
41128Is this fitting for thee even to imagine, much less to see or tell?
41128Is this joy or sorrow, longing or despair, misfortune or gladness, day or night?
41128Is this the fruit of our meeting, that my heart, tender as a lotus filament, is now crushed?
41128Is this, I pray, the conduct of noble men?
41128It may be asked What is the value of''Kadambari''for European readers?
41128Madalekha therefore replied:''Prince, what shall I say?
41128Moreover, in one of so delicate a nature what does not tend to pain?
41128Moreover, what is he laughing at as he talks to Vaiçampayana, so that the circle of space is whitened with his bright teeth?
41128Nay, more, thou hast conquered our hearts; what is left for us to give thee?
41128Night, showest thou no mercy?
41128Now, all auspicious omens which come to us foretell the near approach of joy; and what other cause of joy can there be than this?
41128Of what ascetic is he the son?
41128Or by what skill, or device, or means, or support, or thought, or solace, may he yet live?''
41128Or dost thou dwell in disguise, wearing the form only of a bird, and where didst thou formerly dwell?
41128Say, whither, without thee, shall I go?
41128Seest thou not the pain produced in her mind by the breezes of the fans?
41128Self- respect reproached her:''Gandharva Princess, how is this fitting for thee?''
41128Simplicity mocked her:''Where has thy childhood gone before its day was over?''
41128So saying, she ceased; and, with a long and passionate sigh, the king spoke thus:''"''My queen, what can be done in a matter decreed by fate?
41128Steadfastness cried shame on her:''Whence comes thine unsteadiness of nature?''
41128Tell us from the very beginning the whole history of thy birth-- in what country, and how wert thou born, and by whom was thy name given?
41128Tell us, therefore, what he has done, who was he, and who will he be in another birth?"
41128The king, whose curiosity was aroused, looked at the chiefs around him, and with the words''Why not?
41128The likeness of spirit between these two leads to the question, Had Bana, like Spenser, any purpose, ethical or political, underlying his story?
41128Then I rebuked that string of pearls, saying:"Ah, wicked one, couldst not even thou have preserved his life till my coming?"
41128Then her betel- nut bearer, Makarika, who was always near her, said to the king:''My lord, how could any fault, however slight, be committed by thee?
41128Then she tenderly touched Kadambari, saying"Be comforted, my mother,[ 350] for without thee, who could have preserved the body of my son Candrapida?
41128Then the latter at last spoke falteringly:"What can one so wretched tell thee?
41128Thou art lord of our life; what can we offer thee?
41128Thou art one with my own heart, and I ask thee to tell me what I should now do?
41128Thou by thy sight hast made our life worth having; how can we reward thy coming?
41128Thou hast already bestowed the great favour of thy presence; what return could we make?
41128Thou who feignest coyness, what mean thy crafty glances?
41128Thou whose eyes art filled with love, seest thou not thy friends?
41128Thou, erst so soft of speech, from whom hast thou learnt to speak unkindness and utter reproach?
41128Thus speaking, he retired, and the king asked Vaiçampayana:''Hast thou in the interval eaten food sufficient and to thy taste?''
41128To this speech I replied:"Mad girl, what is love to me?
41128To whom but thee should I listen?
41128To whom can I tell this folly of my undisciplined senses,( 378) and where shall I go, consumed by Kama, the five- arrowed god?
41128To whom else can I complain, or tell my humiliation, or give a share in my woe?
41128Was it a special boon given thee?
41128What ails me that I can not restrain myself?
41128What bright deed of merit was done by Earth that she has won thee as lord?
41128What can I do?
41128What can she do now?
41128What caused thy remembrance of a former birth?
41128What continents unappropriated, for thee to appropriate?
41128What did he say to thee?
41128What did he say, and what didst thou reply?
41128What does the moon want with Pundarika?
41128What else can be done?
41128What favour did the princess show thee?
41128What has fate begun?
41128What has happened?
41128What is Ujjayini like, and how far off is it?
41128What is her name?
41128What is the land of Bharata?
41128What is this that has befallen me?
41128What kings have not been humbled?
41128What matters it whether I catch the pair of Kinnaras or not?
41128What need of words?
41128What offence has been committed?
41128What other course is there?
41128What refuge shall I seek?
41128What regions unsubdued, for thee to subdue?
41128What remedy is there?
41128What talk was there, and what conversation arose?
41128What talk was there?
41128What to me were home, mother, father, kinsfolk, followers?
41128What treasures ungained, for thee to gain?
41128What was I to do?
41128What were Mahaçveta and Madalekha doing?
41128What will my father and mother and the Gandharvas say when they hear this tale?
41128What, indeed, could I say?
41128What, then, shall I do?
41128Whence comes this exceeding skill that tells the heart''s longing wordlessly by a glance alone?"
41128Whence comes this hitherto unknown assault of the senses, which so transforms thee?
41128Whence comes this thy great hardness?
41128Whence could one so hard- hearted feel grief?
41128Whence have the parts of this exceeding beauty been gathered?
41128Where is his former penance, and where his present state?
41128Where is thine old firmness?
41128Where that smiling welcome that never failed me?"
41128Where thy calm of mind, thine inherited holiness, thy carelessness of earthly things?
41128Where thy conquest of the senses?
41128Where thy self- control?
41128Wherefore hast thou not returned?
41128Whither goest thou, pitilessly leaving me alone and protectorless?
41128Who am I?
41128Who but thee could give advice at this time, or could attempt to restrain my wandering?
41128Who have not accepted his staff of office?
41128Who have not drunk in with the crocodiles of their crests, the radiance of his feet, like pure streams?
41128Who have not raised the cry of"Hail!"?
41128Who have not waved his cowries?
41128Who in his senses would, even if happy, make up his mind to undertake even a slight matter that would end in pain?
41128Who is there in this world who is not changed by youth?
41128Who is there that fears him not?
41128Who is there that fears not the wicked, pitiless in causeless enmity; in whose mouth calumny hard to bear is always ready as the poison of a serpent?
41128Who most remembers us, and whose affection is greatest?''
41128Who was he in a former birth, and how was he born in the form of a bird?
41128Who were thy father and mother?
41128Who will speak to her or look at her again, and who will mention her name?''
41128Whom shall I implore?
41128Whose crest- jewels have not scraped his footstool?
41128Whose daughter is she?
41128Why dost thou, like a man of low caste, fail to restrain the turmoil of thy soul?
41128Why has so long a time passed since we have seen thee?
41128Why have I been so mad as to leave my followers behind and come so far?
41128Why should I tell thee of those who have themselves chosen their lords?
41128Why showest thou no pity?
41128Why speakest thou thus?
41128Why tell thy parents?
41128Why then doubt concerning this?
41128Why this needless talk of death as a necessary condition?
41128Why toilest thou thus, like perverse fate, in so unmeet an employment, in that thou wastest in stern penance a body tender as a garland?
41128Why wert thou not born as a parrot?
41128Why, slender one, art thou unadorned?
41128Why, then, this ceremony?''
41128Why, then,''thought he again,''should I thus weary my mind in vain?
41128Will Kadambari support life till we arrive?
41128With mingled scorn and pity he replied:''Wilt thou not even now restrain thine old impatience?
41128With whom shall I wander, to whom speak, with whom hold converse?
41128Yet if I could not be united to those I loved in past lives why should I yet live?
41128Yet think not, my son, that I will live without thee, for how could I thus even face thy father?
41128[ 283] Thou wilt not therefore surely place on the fire of grief that life so precious and so hardly preserved?''
41128[ 334] In his utter love madness, he says:''Tell me, Patralekha, how a madman can be rejected?''
41128[ 97] Does this refer to the reflection of the sky in its clear water?
41128and my mother and all the zenana?''
41128and then, waiting a short time, she began afresh:''How is King Tarapida, how Queen Vilasavati, how the noble Çukanasa?
41128and where thy superhuman power and thy capacity of reaching boundless knowledge?
41128and why has not the stream of lac fallen on thy feet like early sunlight on rosy lotus- buds?
41128and why is he coming hither?''
41128and why is that slender neck of thine, fair- limbed queen, not adorned with a rope of pearls as the crescent on Çiva''s brow by the heavenly stream?
41128and will she do as I said?''
41128how has he become so close a friend to Mahaçveta?
41128how much less one like me, whose heart is struck down by deep grief?
41128if missed, what is the harm?
41128or how bring an ill- omened mourning to his departure to heaven?
41128or how weep at the joyous moment when, like the dust of his feet, I may follow him?
41128or who else in the world is a friend like thee?
7965''Listenest thou always, O monarch, to the words, fraught with instructions in religion and wealth, of old men acquainted with economic doctrines? 7965 And Yudhishthira said,--''How can, O Sakuni, a king like me, always observant of the uses of his own order, refuse, when summoned to dice?
7965Bhima at this once more said,--''Wretch darest thou, O Dussasana, use harsh words as these? 7965 Dhritarashtra said,--''Duryodhana, what is the reason of thy great affliction, O son of the Kuru race?
7965Draupadi said,--''Why, O Pratikamin, dost thou say so? 7965 Narada said--''Is the wealth thou art earning being spent on proper objects?
7965Vidura said,--''Dost thou not know, O wretch, that by uttering such harsh words thou art tying thyself with cords? 7965 Yudhishthira said,--''Besides the sons of Dhritarashtra what other dishonest gamblers are there ready for play?
7965Yudhishthira said--''O Krishna, who is this Jarasandha? 7965 ''Hath the stake been won?'' 7965 Achievest thou thy measures through persons that are trusted incorruptible, and possessed of practical experience? 7965 Alas, O Krishna,( Draupadi), why dost thou leave me so? 7965 And Sakuni, beholding him absent- minded, said,--''O Duryodhana, why art thou proceeding thus''? 7965 And from within it even the women might fight the foe, what to speak of the Yadava heroes without fear of any kind? 7965 And having conquered them, seekest thou to protect them with care? 7965 And having gone out against them, exertest thou to the utmost to obtain victory over them? 7965 And how Arjuna? 7965 And how the illustrious Draupadi? 7965 And how the twin sons of Madri? 7965 And how, O Kshatta, doth Dhaumya proceed along? 7965 And they asked him, saying;--Who amongst us is superior( to the other)?
7965And who also upon Vasava, the Lord of the celestials and upon Yama, the son of Vivaswana?
7965And, O Bhishma, if thy mind is always inclined to sing the praises of others, why dost thou not praise Salya and other rulers of the earth?
7965And, O bull of the Bharata race, do thy ministers rule thy kingdom under thy orders?
7965And, O persecutor of all foes, givest thou gems and jewels, unto the principal officers of enemy, as they deserve, without thy enemy''s knowledge?
7965Are all the principal chieftains( of thy empire) all devoted to thee?
7965Are all the principal high- born men devoted to thee, and ready with cheerfulness to lay down their lives in battle for thy sake?
7965Are all these entirely under thy supervision and sway?
7965Are the agriculturists in thy kingdom wanting in either seed or food?
7965Are they ready to lay down their lives for thy sake, commanded by thee?
7965Are thieves and robbers that sack thy town pursued by thy police over the even and uneven parts of thy kingdom?
7965Are those amongst thy foes that are feeble always repressed by the help of troops that are strong, by the help of both counsels and troops?
7965Are thy foes unable to injure it?
7965Are thy forts always filled with treasure, food, weapons, water, engines and instruments, as also with engineers and bowmen?
7965Arrayed let us stand in battle against the assembled Vrishnis and the Pandavas?''
7965Arrived here by such an improper way, why accept ye not the worship I offer?
7965Arrogant and ignorant as thou art, and desirous of praising Kesava, why doth not this tongue of thine split up into a hundred parts?
7965Art thou enjoying the pleasures of life?
7965Art thou unmindful of thy own interests?
7965Beholding their sovereignty over the world and vast affluence, as also that sacrifice, who is there like me that would not smart under all that?
7965Born the eldest among all thy brothers, living within thy own kingdom, why regardest thou thyself as unhappy?
7965Breaking down the peak of the Chaityaka hill, why have ye, in disguise, entered( the city) by an improper gate without fear of the royal wrath?
7965But Dhritarashtra glad at heart, asked repeatedly,''Hath the stake been won?''
7965But O king, could our enemies have said so unto me, it thou hadst not played staking this princess?''"
7965But angry or friendly, what canst thou do unto me?''
7965But what shall I say, O Keshava?
7965But why is it, O Sakuni, that thou askest me of my wealth?
7965Buyest thou a single learned man by giving in exchange a thousand ignorant individuals?
7965Can it be possible that even a single son of mine will live?
7965Can the dog slay the lion?
7965Cherishest thou always, with food and wealth, relatives, superiors, merchants, the aged, and other proteges, and the distressed?
7965Commencest thou soon to accomplish measures of great utility that are easy of accomplishment?
7965Consolest thou women and are they protected in thy realm?
7965Consumed by the fire of the Pandava, they all forgave that offence; otherwise who is there that could forgive it?
7965Deprivest thou, through covetousness or folly, of their pensions the proteges who have sought thy shelter from trustfulness or love?
7965Didst thou lose thyself first or me?''
7965Dismissest thou without fault servants accomplished in business and popular and devoted to thy welfare?
7965Do priests capable of granting thee auspicious fruits ever stand by thy side?
7965Do the people that inhabit thy realm, bought by thy foes, ever seek to raise disputes with thee, uniting themselves with one another?
7965Do thy servants, O king, ever speak to thee in the forenoon regarding thy extravagant expenditure in respect of thy drinks, sports, and women?
7965Dost thou carefully follow the practices that were followed by them?
7965Dost thou come here in happiness and peace?
7965Dost thou not know that being a deer thou provokest so many tigers to rage?
7965Dost thou not understand that thou art hanging on the edge of a precipice?
7965Dost thou worship Brahmanas and wise men according to their merits in respect of various branches of learning?
7965Doth not thy mind sink under their weight?
7965Doth thy mind take pleasure in virtue?
7965Else, could he not find any other object to stake?''
7965Else, how is it that the chaste wife of the Pandavas, the sister of Prishata''s son, the friend of Vasudeva, is brought before this assembly?
7965Else, why do these foremost of the Kuru elders look silently on this great crime?''"
7965Examinest thou also, after a survey of thy own strength and weakness, the fourteen possessions of thy foes?
7965Fool as thou art, who else, O Jarasandha, is capable of behaving in this way?
7965For the protection of thy city, have the villages been made like towns, and the hamlets and outskirts of villages like villages?
7965For what reason then dost thou yet regard her as not won?
7965Givest thou to thy troops their sanctioned rations and pay in the appointed time?
7965Go not, O king, unto the region of Yama, with thy sons and troops, for who is there that is capable of fighting with the sons of Pritha, together?
7965Grantest thou with kindness loans( of seed- grains) unto the tillers, taking only a fourth in excess of every measure by the hundred?
7965Hast thou appointed to high offices ministers that are guileless and of well conduct for generations and above the common run?
7965Hast thou banished these six evils, O monarch, viz., sleep, idleness, fear, anger, weakness of mind, and procrastination?''"
7965Hast thou faith in the religion based on the three Vedas and practised by men who have gone before thee?
7965Hast thou never heard, O Bhishma, that reproach and glorification, both of self and others, are not practices of those that are respectable?
7965Hast thou not ever heard, from wise men speaking unto thee, what I would now tell thee?
7965Hath Dhata( Brahma) himself forgotten to ordain my death?
7965Hath thy study of the Vedas, thy wealth and knowledge of the Sastras and marriage been fruitful?''"
7965Having perpetrated that wicked wrong how dost thou regard thyself as innocent?
7965Hostility with whom else than thee is so sure of leading to heaven, proud as thou art of the excessive strength of thy vast Magadha host?
7965How can I, therefore, O hero, give thee, O sinless one, leave to go?
7965How can he said then to have staked voluntarily?
7965How can one who is such, deserve praise, O Bhishma?
7965How can, O son of Pritha, any weak monarch approach him with hostile intentions?
7965How dost thou, from thy wish alone, establish the whole universe in the servitor and cowherd of Bhoja( Kansa)?
7965How doth he of the Dasarha race, who is not even a king, accept worship before these kings and how is it that he hath been worshipped by ye?
7965How is it, O Kshatta, that thou dost not fear this sin?
7965How shall ye now, losing your wealth and possessions, live poor in the pathless woods?
7965How then can his followers expect to come across a right path?
7965How, O Arjuna, can a son born from this insulted wife of ours prove serviceable to us?''
7965How, O Bharata, hast thou, passing him over, offered the first worship unto Krishna?
7965How, O son of Pandu, passing over Druma, the preceptor of the Kimpurusas, hast thou worshipped Krishna?
7965I ask thee, therefore, whether there is even one such minister with thee?
7965I have been only the instrument, I am capable of swallowing the mountain of Meru itself, what shall I say of the child?
7965I hope thou placest not any confidence in them, nor divulgest any secret before any of them?
7965If at thy word, O Bhishma, one that hath slain women( meaning Putana) and kine be worshipped, then what is to become of this great lesson?
7965If this one is the lord of the universe, as this fool representeth him to be, why doth he not regard himself as a Brahmana?
7965If this one threw drown by a kick an inanimate piece of wood, viz., a car, what is there, O Bhishma, wonderful in that?
7965If, O Bharata, it was your wish to offer the first worship unto the slayer of Madhu, why were these monarchs brought here to be insulted thus?
7965If, disguising our own faults, we attack the enemy taking advantage of his loopholes, why should we not succeed?
7965Is the priest thou honourest, possessed of humility, and purity of blood, and renown, and without jealousy and illiberality?
7965Is thy expenditure always covered by a fourth, a third or a half of thy income?
7965It was then that at the advice of Vidura I addressed Krishna and said,"I will grant thee boons, O Krishna, indeed, whatever thou wouldst ask?"
7965Keepest thou the agriculturists not out of thy sight?
7965Makest thou peace and makest thou war at proper times?
7965Never injurest thou religion for the sake of wealth, or both religion and wealth for the sake of pleasure that easily seduces?
7965Not to speak of others, is the chief of the celestials at the head of the celestials themselves, capable of doing so?''
7965O Bharata, dost thou employ superior, indifferent, and low men, after examining them well in offices they deserve?
7965O Bhima, what king is there on earth that would dare abuse me thus, as this wretch of his race, already possessed by Death, hath done to- day?
7965O Bhishma, what is there remarkable in this one''s having supported for a week the Govardhan mount which is like an anthill?
7965O Brahmana, how didst thou also meet with my father, the exalted Pandu, now a guest in the region of the Pitris?
7965O Brahmana, what are the articles with which each of the Sabhas are made of?
7965O Krishna, O thou who dwellest in Dwaraka, O younger brother of Sankarshana, where art thou?
7965O Pandu, O king, where art thou?
7965O best of monarchs, how can a king act wrongfully towards other virtuous kings?
7965O bull of the Bharata race, who is there that will provoke the peaceful sons of Pritha?
7965O bull of the Kuru race, if thou regardest Krishna as the oldest in age, here is Vasudeva, and how can his son be said so in his presence?
7965O child, are the four professions of agriculture, trade, cattle- rearing, and lending at interest, carried on by honest men?
7965O child, is thy kingdom protected by ministers learned in Sastras, keeping their counsels close?
7965O exalted one of excellent vows hath he told thee anything?
7965O grandsire, have those portents been ended by the fall of the king of the Chedis?''"
7965O king when the state of my mind is such, what do I care now for life, for the Pandavas are daily growing while our possessions know no increase?''
7965O king, what can be done by me when( it seemeth) thou hast not heard anything before from virtuous old men giving lessons in morality?
7965O lord of Earth, art thou equal unto all men, and can every one approach thee without fear, as if thou wert their mother and father?
7965O monarch, employest thou in thy business persons that are thievish or open to temptation, or hostile, or minors?
7965O monarch, goest thou out against thy enemies, having first strengthened thy own kingdom?
7965O monarch, having heard of any danger and having reflected on it also, liest thou in the inner apartments enjoying every agreeable object?
7965O oppressor of all foes, O great king, I hope thou slayest thy foes without regarding their seasons of reaping and of famine?
7965O represser of all foes, do men dressed in red and armed with swords and adorned with ornaments stand by thy side to protect thy person?
7965O sinless one, art thou acquainted with all mysterious incantations, and with the secrets of poisons destructive of all foes?
7965O sinless one, causest thou ever grief or anger in any one?
7965O slayer of all foes, watchest thou all thy enemies with care and attention, and unknown to them?
7965O son of Dhritarashtra, how dost thou regard Krishna as not won, when the eldest of the Pandavas before this assembly staked all his possessions?
7965O son of Pritha, seekest thou to cure bodily diseases by medicines and fasts, and mental illness with the advice of the aged?
7965Observest thou neutrality towards strangers and persons that are neutral towards thee?
7965Of great renown, what can he not achieve when with ye two?
7965Oppressest thou not thy people with cruel and severe punishment?
7965Or, O son of Kuru, regardest thou Krishna as preceptor?
7965Or, O son of Kuru, regardest thou Krishna as the Ritwija?
7965Or, dost thou entertain hostile feeling towards me?
7965Or, if thou regardest Vasudeva as your well- wisher and supporter, here is Drupada; how then can Madhava deserve the( first) worship?
7965Or, what need is there of words or of command?
7965Passing over that foremost of bowmen-- that excellent of kings, Rukmin of great energy, why praisest thou Kesava?
7965Persecutest thou thy kingdom by the help of thievish or covetous men, or minors, or women?
7965Protectest thou thy kingdom from the fear of fire, of snakes and other animals destructive of life, of disease, and Rakshasas?
7965Such measures are never obstructed?
7965The counsels thou hast resolved upon, do not become known all over thy kingdom?
7965The two midwives( that waited upon the queens) then carefully wrapping up the still- born(?)
7965Then, O monarch, the king of Chedi offered his kingdom unto Bhima and said smilingly,--''O sinless one, upon what art thou bent?''
7965Therefore, O thou parasite, why dost thou obstruct us so?
7965Therefore, who is there that will not envy ye?
7965Therefore, why regardest thou Krishna who hath been justly won as not won?
7965They do not fear to approach thee?
7965Thou ascertainest, I hope, what thy friends, foes and strangers are about?
7965Thou dost not oppress them by withholding these?
7965Thou hast not become the slave of sleep?
7965Thou settlest nothing alone, nor takest counsels with many?
7965Thou wilt then enjoy the whole earth; what need hast thou with me?''"
7965Thy counsels, I hope, are never divulged by thy trusted spies in disguise, by thyself or by thy ministers?
7965Unwilling as I am to gamble, I will not do so, if the wicked Sakuni doth not summon me to it in the Sabha?
7965Wakest thou at the proper time?
7965We will succeed in warding off the fates by exertion alone?''
7965What boon shall I give thee?
7965What can be more distressing to me, than that though high- born and chaste, I should yet be compelled to enter this public court?
7965What can they do thee?''
7965What dost thou gain by winning from the Pandavas their vast wealth?
7965What dost thou think fit for us?
7965What is his energy and what is his prowess, that having touched thee he hath not been burnt like an insect at the touch of fire?''
7965What is the area of each, and what is the length and breadth of each?
7965What is there in this to make thee sorry?
7965What is there to make thee sorry for this?
7965What is there to make thee sorry for this?
7965What is thy counter stake, O great king,--the wealth with which thou wishest to play with me?''
7965What is your motive for coming to me?''
7965What it is, therefore, that hath made thee pale and emaciated?
7965What kings also were present in that assembly, and who amongst them approved of the gambling match and who amongst them forbade it?
7965What love can we bear to the wicked and avaricious Kurus?"
7965What man is there in the world possessed of vigour who can bear to see his foes in the enjoyment of prosperity and himself in destitution?
7965What man is there, who knowing all this, will consent to gamble?
7965What prince is there who playeth staking his wife?
7965What shall I do, O aunt?
7965What shall I do, therefore, with my kingdom or with a boon?"''
7965When Drona is here, how hast thou worshipped him of the Vrishni race?
7965When I have never done ye an injury, why, ye Brahmanas do ye regard me, who am innocent, as your foe?
7965When old Dwaipayana is here, how hath Krishna been worshipped by thee?
7965When one hath placed on the neck and back of venomous snakes full of wrath for encompassing his destruction, is it possible for him to take them off?
7965When the brave Aswatthaman, versed in every branch of knowledge is here, why, O king, hath Krishna, O thou of the Kuru race, been worshipped by thee?
7965When, therefore, thou taken fright at Jarasandha''s might, how should I regard myself strong in comparison with him?
7965Whence is this reverse of fortune?
7965Where is that virtue for which these kings were noted?
7965Where is thy virtue, O Bhishma?
7965Whether, therefore, the means is virtuous or sinful, what scruples can there be in the duties of one''s own order?
7965Who amongst us shall prepare himself for battle( with thee)?''
7965Who are ye, therefore, thus decked with flowers, and with hands bearing the marks of the bow- string?
7965Who else is there in the world of men save Kesava that is so distinguished?
7965Who hath been kept here that hath not been defeated in war?
7965Who is there among them that will forgive that insult to Draupadi?
7965Who is there that can stake equally with me?
7965Who is there that will break an embankment which hath been completed, or re- kindle a conflagration which hath been extinguished?
7965Who wait upon the Grandsire in that assembly room?
7965Who will regard as praiseworthy the act which was done by Kesava, as also by Bhima and Arjuna, in the matter of Jarasandha''s death?
7965Who, O Bhishma, knowing himself to be virtuous and superior in knowledge, will so act as thou hast done from motives of virtue?
7965Whom doth it behave to transgress his virtuous eldest brother?
7965Whom doth it behove to boast, thus having won wealth by foul means?
7965Why also, O Janarddana, didst thou accept the worship of which thou art unworthy, although it was offered unto thee by those mean- minded princes?
7965Why do not these best of regenerate ones answer the question?
7965Why dost thou not deliver me and these best of men also from such woe?
7965Why dost thou not, after due enquiry, ascertain the grief that is in the heart of thy eldest son, the grief that is caused by the foe?''
7965Why dost thou, therefore, seek to perform a sacrifice unto god Sankara by slaughtering human beings?
7965Why shall we not, therefore, meet together and oppose Jarsandha in battle?
7965Why should you, therefore, regard us as incompetent?
7965Why shouldst thou then longer wait upon the fallen sons of Pandu?
7965Why shouldst thou, therefore, be jealous of him?
7965Why shouldst thou, therefore, covet, from folly, the property of thy brother?
7965Why sufferest thou quietly thy good children to be thus sent into exile, defeated at dice?
7965Why then, O Bhishma, was that virtuous girl Amva, who had set her heart upon another, carried off by thee, so proud of wisdom and virtue?
7965Why wishest thou not to praise them?
7965Why, then, O king, dost thou praise gambling so?
7965With whom in this assembly am I to play?
7965With whom( as stake) wilt thou now play?''"
7965Ye my dear ones, if Time hath intended so what need is there for me to live?''
16659How can the world, the beautiful human world, be too much with us? 16659 What is this insinuation?"
16659What will he do when he hears it, this holy, austere man?
16659You mighty gods that flit about in heaven And take my foeman''s part, what would you say? 16659 A creation of his mind? 16659 A king of Puru''s mighty line Chastises shameless churls; What insolent is he who baits These artless hermit- girls? 16659 A picture? 16659 Accompanied by women? 16659 After all, what does it matter whether he have issue or not? 16659 Ancient Shakalya, how is Marichi''s holy son occupied? 16659 And how can I perform the last adorning Of thy poor body, as befits a wife? 16659 And if another touch it? 16659 And is it selfish longing then, That draws our souls on high Through eyes that have forgot to wink, As the new moon climbs the sky? 16659 And tell the king from me:You saw the matter, How I was guiltless proved in fire divine; Will you desert me for mere idle chatter?
16659And will you leave me too?
16659Anusuya, do you know why Shakuntala looks so hard at the Light of the Grove?
16659Are my friends gone?
16659Are n''t you the king?
16659Are such things done in Raghu''s royal line?
16659Are you not ashamed to say these incredible things, especially in my presence?
16659But how could human beings, of their own mere motion, attain this spot?
16659But how did it get into a carp''s mouth, as if it had been a fish- hook?
16659But how does she feel toward you?
16659But how will you fare?
16659But shall not my arrow see you?
16659But what brought back the memory of your suffering wife?
16659But what do you not deserve from heaven''s king?
16659But what does Gautami say?
16659But what does he do if he is not content?
16659But what is the business?
16659But what shall I do now that I am awake?
16659But where is Spring?
16659But who will care for poor us?
16659But whom shall we ask to take it?
16659But why did you act thus toward Madhavya?
16659But why does she cover her face with fingers lovely as the pink water- lily?
16659But why should I not trust you?
16659But, man, do n''t you understand what the words mean?
16659But, my dear, who told Father Kanva about it?
16659Ca n''t you see?
16659Can it fly?
16659Can the audience feel any respect for the work of a modern poet, a Kalidasa?
16659Can there be more than this?
16659Can you go away Sudden, without a word?
16659Could I forsake the virtuous wife Who held my best, my future life And cherished it for glorious birth, As does the seed- receiving earth?
16659Crushing a few sweetmeats?
16659Dear friend, whose art could fashion The flowery arrow for thee?
16659Did she with father speak or mother?
16659Did you engage her friends in speech?
16659Did you ever see this happen to any one else?
16659Did you have a good bath, dear?
16659Did you want her to climb into your lap the first time she saw you?
16659Do leaguèd powers of sin conspire To balk religion''s pure desire?
16659Do plants no longer bud and flower, To warn me of abuse of power?
16659Do you dare despise a guest like me?
16659Do you dare pluck the mango- blossoms?
16659Do you dare show independence?
16659Do you feel better, dear, when we fan you with these lotus- leaves?
16659Do you not see?
16659Does a bull forget that he is tired when you call him the leader of the herd?
16659Does she feel toward me as I do toward her?
16659Does your pious life proceed without disturbance?
16659Father, when shall I see the pious grove again?
16659For Why should the trembling, born Of age, increasing, seize Your limbs and bid them shake Like fig- leaves in the breeze?
16659Fresher honey''s sweet, I know; But can you forget?
16659From Kanva?
16659From what?
16659Had you forgotten, as I did?
16659Harita, my son, whence come these things?
16659Has the fever gone down?
16659Has the wrath Of dreadful Shiva, in excess of passion, Bade him, too, follow on that fatal path?"
16659Has wrong been done to beasts that roam Contented round the hermits''home?
16659Have you forgot so soon the torture given By shafts of mine that never miss their way?
16659Have you heard the gossip concerning Shakuntala''s rejection?
16659Have you not a humble servant here, to take the place of your friends?
16659Have you nothing to say, O King?
16659Hermit, why deceive this woman?
16659Hermits?
16659How can I live in another soil?
16659How can I take her, confessing myself an adulterer?
16659How can sympathy with one form of life do other than vivify our sympathy with other forms of life?"
16659How can that be?
16659How can they be so sharp?
16659How can you be tempted so By the lily, pet?
16659How can you think me so indifferent?
16659How could it have been?
16659How could she notice a guest when she has forgotten herself?
16659How could that gentle life endure The deadly arrow, sharp and sure?
16659How could the pious duties fail While you defend the right?
16659How could these things be in a hermitage that rests in the fame of the king''s arm?
16659How could we understand his birth?
16659How could you fail to linger On her soft, tapering finger, And in the water fall?
16659How could you fall?
16659How did you escape?
16659How do you perceive it?
16659How explain a reputation that maintains itself indefinitely and that conquers a new continent after a lapse of thirteen hundred years?
16659How shall we adorn you?
16659How so?
16659How so?
16659How so?
16659How so?
16659How were you born his daughter, for you are beautiful?
16659I ask_ you_ which is the heavier sin: Not knowing whether I be mad Or falsehood be in her, Shall I desert a faithful wife Or turn adulterer?
16659I dare not hope for what I pray; Why thrill-- in vain?
16659I know not if I read your heart aright; Why, pitiless, do you distress me so?
16659If fate brings this about of itself, why should n''t Father be happy?
16659If you deserve such scorn and blame, What will your father with your shame?
16659In place of him thou seekest, what is found?
16659In which direction lies the hermitage of Marichi''s son?
16659In which path of the winds are we?
16659Is holy Kanva in health?
16659Is it right for you to speak so now, and to reject me?
16659Is it the heat, or is it as I hope?
16659Is n''t the_ shakunta_ lovely?
16659Is not that good Scripture?
16659Is the hermit father there?
16659It appears that Urvashi had taken the heroine''s part in the drama just presented there, and when asked,"On whom is your heart set?"
16659It ought to be enough for me To hover round your fragrant face; Is not the lotus- haunting bee Content with perfume and with grace?
16659Madhavya, have you no curiosity to see Shakuntala?
16659Matali, Sprung from the Creator''s children, do I see Great Kashyapa and Mother Aditi?
16659Matali, was not this matter known to Indra?
16659Matali, what mountain is this, its flanks sinking into the eastern and into the western sea?
16659May I fasten it in another way?
16659May I hear the whole story?
16659May I hope that she is the hermit''s daughter by a mother of a different caste?
16659May I know the reason of your coming?
16659May we ask you to seek better entertainment from us another time?
16659Mother, if he is not the son of a hermit, what is his family?
16659Must my friends turn back too?
16659My daughter, why distress yourself so?
16659My dear, why should you follow me when I am going away from home?
16659My friend, And was it phantom, madness, dream, Or fatal retribution stern?
16659My friend, how can I endure a grief that has no respite?
16659My friend, is this Dushyanta, friend of Indra?
16659My friend, where shall I sit now to comfort my eyes with the vines?
16659My question is this: Does she, till marriage only, keep her vow As hermit- maid, that shames the ways of love?
16659Naughty boy, why do you torment our pets?
16659Now will you get out with your strenuous life?
16659O mighty Brahman, who could suspect it?
16659O mighty god, wilt thou not show me mercy after such reproaches?
16659O welcome guest of the flowering vine, why do you waste your time in buzzing here?
16659Oh, are you fanning me, my dear girls?
16659Oh, has the spring really come?
16659Oh, my heart, why tremble so?
16659Oh, what shall we do?
16659Oh, why do I have such feelings when I see this man?
16659Oh, why does my right eye throb?
16659Or how could darkness''power prevail O''er sunbeams shining bright?
16659Or must her soft eyes ever see, as now, Soft eyes of friendly deer in peaceful grove?
16659Or take your lily feet upon my knee And rub them till you rest more easily?
16659Or weaves a string of bees with deft invention, To speed the missile when the bow is bent?
16659Otherwise, how could the good king say such beautiful things, and then let all this time pass without even sending a message?
16659Otherwise, how could you, dear, have acted so?
16659Priyamvada, can you think of any scheme by which we could carry out her wishes quickly and secretly?
16659Priyamvada, for whom are you carrying this cuscus- salve and the fibrous lotus- leaves?
16659Really?
16659Sent by my mother?
16659Shall I ever be adorned by my friends again?
16659Shall I make him happy now?
16659Shall I tell at once who I am, or conceal it?
16659Shall we neglect the works of such illustrious authors as Bhasa, Saumilla, and Kaviputra?
16659Shall we sit down?
16659She gazed at her husband, then spoke passionately:"O shameless king, although you know, why do you say,''I do not know,''like any other ordinary man?"
16659She rose and cried aloud:"Dost thou yet live, Lord of my life?"
16659Should you now desert your wife-- you who fear to fail in virtue?
16659So ill, and all alone here with the gods?
16659Surely, she may become a warrior''s bride; Else, why these longings in an honest mind?
16659Tell me, what shall I do for you?
16659That Shakuntala has become seriously ill from the heat, and that these things are to relieve her suffering?
16659That he is explaining to Aditi, in answer to her question, the duties of a faithful wife?
16659The deed is done; what kindly act can I Perform who, pitiless, deserve to die?"
16659The moral stumblings of mine own, The daily slips, are scarcely known; Who then that rules a kingdom, can Guide every deed of every man?
16659Then could my thought be true?
16659Then tell me: Shall I employ the moistened lotus- leaf To fan away your weariness and grief?
16659Then why do you tremble so?
16659Then why may I not welcome my hopes fulfilled at last?
16659Then, when he did not see the sage, and perceived that the hermitage was deserted, he cried aloud,"Who is here?"
16659There is no lack of a certain shrewdness in the clown, as when he observes:"Who wants heaven?
16659Thou never didst a thing to cause me anguish; I never did a thing to work thee harm; Why should I thus in vain affliction languish?
16659Though uncreate, thou seekest birth; Dreaming, thou watchest heaven and earth; Passionless, smitest low thy foes; Who knows thy nature, Lord?
16659To whom do you belong, you wicked hermit- woman?
16659Vetravati, did you not meet Queen Vasumati?
16659Vetravati, with what purpose does Father Kanva send these hermits to me?
16659Well, sir?
16659Well, what?
16659Well?
16659Well?
16659What am I to do?
16659What are her commands?
16659What are his commands?
16659What are you chirping about to yourself, little cuckoo?
16659What are you going to add?
16659What better occupation could we have?
16659What can I do?
16659What can I do?
16659What can the poor child do with a husband base enough to reject her?
16659What commands would it be fitting for me to lay on King Dushyanta?
16659What condition?
16659What country is grieving at your absence?
16659What did it say?
16659What do you mean, my dear?
16659What do you say?
16659What do you say?
16659What does Shakuntala say?
16659What does this mean?
16659What for?
16659What has happened there?
16659What have I to do here, where she is not?
16659What is hidden from the gods?
16659What is it, dear?
16659What is the use of seeing her?
16659What is this insinuation?
16659What is to be done?
16659What is your pleasure with regard to them?
16659What is your question?
16659What makes you lame?
16659What means this dreadful accusation?
16659What more can I say?
16659What more can I say?
16659What more could I ask?
16659What more could I mean?
16659What more, my son, shall I do for you?
16659What must a father feel, when come The pangs of parting from his child at home?
16659What of that?
16659What play shall we give them to keep their good- will?
16659What pretext do you need?
16659What royal family do you adorn, sir?
16659What season of the year shall I sing about?
16659What shall we do first?
16659What then?
16659What was the name of the good king whose wife she was?
16659What will my husband say?
16659What would happen if I deceived the girl?
16659What would he do?
16659What''s the good of talking?
16659What?
16659What?
16659When I left the pious grove for the city, my darling wept and said:"But how long will you remember us, dear?"
16659When Shiva''s anger burned the tree Of love in quenchless fire, Did heavenly fate preserve a shoot To deck my heart''s desire?
16659When a reed bends over like a hunchback, do you blame the reed or the river- current?
16659Whence are you, sweet girl, so lovely and so good?
16659Where are Sharngarava and Sharadvata?
16659Where are you going now?
16659Where art thou gone?
16659Where has the blessèd one gone, sweet girl?
16659Where is it?
16659Where is my mamma?
16659Where is the stairway, Parvatayana?
16659Where shall I go now to rest from my weariness?
16659Where shall I go now?
16659Which one do you think?
16659Which one is the lady Shakuntala?
16659Which one of the hermit- boys is here?
16659Whither are you flown?
16659Who are we, that we should save you?
16659Who could appease him?
16659Who draws such a rebuke upon himself?
16659Who else would dare to touch a faithful wife?
16659Who is he, dear?
16659Who is he, mother?
16659Who is it that keeps pulling at my dress, as if to hinder me?
16659Who is she, shrouded in the veil That dims her beauty''s lustre, Among the hermits like a flower Round which the dead leaves cluster?
16659Who is the man that soils my boy with his caresses?
16659Who knows?
16659Who stands without?
16659Who waits without?
16659Who waits without?
16659Who will believe what you say?
16659Who will bid me welcome?
16659Who would speak his name?
16659Whose are you, lovely maiden?
16659Why accuse a fate that brings what you desire?
16659Why am I filled with wistfulness on hearing such a song?
16659Why are you crooked when I am straight?
16659Why bandy words?
16659Why did his Majesty forbid the spring festival?
16659Why did you come to the forest?
16659Why did you try to prevent me?
16659Why do n''t you go now?
16659Why do you hide your trouble?
16659Why do you say that, mother?
16659Why do you trust this girl, and accuse me of an imaginary crime?
16659Why does a gentleman so delicately bred submit to the weary journey into our pious grove?
16659Why fight with me?
16659Why not accuse a fate that robs me of self- control and tempts me with the virtues of another?
16659Why not return to bless thy grieving Charm?
16659Why not?
16659Why not?
16659Why not?
16659Why remind him?
16659Why should I fear before a six- days child?
16659Why should I not have my way?
16659Why should I not tell it?
16659Why should I thrill?
16659Why should his tender form expire, As blossoms perish in the fire?
16659Why should my heart go out to this boy as if he were my own son?
16659Why should n''t I give her water?
16659Why should you prowl in heaven and gibber shrill, Like dogs that in an autumn night run wild, Like deer that sneak through forests, trembling still?
16659Why should you run On certain death?
16659Why speculate in vain?
16659Why this?
16659Why?
16659Why?
16659Why?
16659Will he not go, though I warn him?
16659Will his Majesty take action?"
16659Will you not obey my command?
16659Will you not recognise me?
16659Will you not take pity on her and save her life?
16659Will you permit me to blow it away?
16659With his mystery, and his dignity, and his courtesy?
16659Wo n''t you mind me?
16659Would any one sprinkle a jasmine- vine with scalding water?
16659Would any other man do what you have done?
16659Would any other man hesitate when he saw such a pearl of a woman coming of her own accord?
16659Would anybody put up a parasol to keep off the soothing autumn moonlight?
16659Yet in the slander spoken in pure hate One thing you uttered worthy of his worth: How could the author of the uncreate Be born?
16659Yet what can I do now?
16659Yet, after all, what do these arguments amount to?
16659You do n''t think I am afraid of the devils?
16659Your Majesty commands?
16659Your body, soft as siris- flowers, Engages passion''s utmost powers; How comes it that your heart is hard As stalks that siris- blossoms guard?
16659she said at once, greeting him, and smilingly added:"What may be done for you?"
11894''Having heard the words of the gods, Agastya, the son of Mitra, and Varuna, said,Wherefore are ye come?
11894''Sakra said,O fair one, when thousands of thy son are( daily) oppressed, why dost thou grieve for one under infliction?"
11894What for, O fortunate one, hath thy father bestowed thee on a person who is verging on death? 11894 Who is it that hath done wrong to the illustrious son of Bhrigu, old and ever engaged in austerities and of wrathful temper?
11894Yudhishthira said,''How did the mighty sage, Yavakri, son of the ascetic Bharadwaja, acquire profoundity in the Vedas? 11894 Yudhishthira said,''How was the chastiser of the demon Paka, the god possessed of the six attributes, paralysed by Chyavana?
11894Yudhishthira said,''How was the son of Kasyapa, Rishyasringa, born of a hind? 11894 Yudhishthira said,''O worshipful one, relate in particular how Vishnu, the lord of the celestials, raised up the earth sunk a hundred_ yojanas_?
11894Yudhishthira said,''What was that occasion, O Saint? 11894 All this evil is her work, what need of doubts? 11894 And O mighty monarch, not finding her lord Naishadha, afflicted with grief and pain, she shrieked aloud in fright, saying,O lord?
11894And by whose influence is it that the whole universe is in ferment?
11894And distracted by gusts of the wind, they thought,''Are the heavens falling down; or the earth and the mountains being rent?''
11894And exclaiming repeatedly--_Where is he?
11894And filled with anxiety, the beautious one thought within herself,"Oh, how shall I distinguish the celestials, and how discern the royal Nala?"
11894And for what reason did the mighty saint conceive wrath towards Indra?
11894And having received very great hospitality from them, he asked them, saying,"To whom, O cowherds, do ye belong?"
11894And he asked himself,"Why is it that my daughter seemeth to be so ill now?"
11894And he thought,"How shall I divide this garment, so that my beloved one may not perceive?"
11894And he thought,"Is he Matali, the charioteer of the king of the celestials?
11894And he went home and asked his mother saying,"Where is my father?"
11894And how also did he perish?
11894And how also did he regain it?
11894And how also hast thou come to know this lady fallen into such a plight?
11894And how beautiful was that princess Santa, pure in life, she who allured the heart of him when he had turned himself into a stag?
11894And how did the agnates of( Bhagiratha furnish the same)?
11894And how did those high souled ones bear themselves and derive their sustenance, and where did they put up?
11894And how shall we be able to go this long way by help of these?"
11894And how was he endowed with holiness, being the issue of a reprehensible sexual connexion?
11894And how was the ocean refilled by the interference of Bhagiratha?
11894And is it well with the beasts and birds of this asylum?"
11894And reproaching the sons of Dhritarashtra, they said,''What should we do?''
11894And seeing those horses, the king said somewhat angrily,"What is this, that thou wishest to do?
11894And she asked herself,"Was it a dream that I saw?
11894And she said"O lord, why dost thou not rush towards me, now that I am seized, without anybody to protect me, by this serpent in these desert wilds?
11894And some, O Bharata, felt pity for, and even addressed, her, saying,"O blessed one, who art thou, and whose?
11894And the deities enquired of the great Indra,"What is to be sucked by this boy?"
11894And then approaching these, he asked with folded hands,"Who are ye?
11894And then he asked the valiant Akritavrana, who was a follower of Parasurama,''when will the revered Parasurama show himself to the religious men here?
11894And those of the caravan that had escaped unhurt, met together, and asked one another,"Of what deed of ours is this the consequence?
11894And what didst thou do while out of thy kingdom?''
11894And what doest thou in this wood?
11894And what if I act not thus?
11894And what must I bestow on thee?
11894And what woman would not choose as her lord the virtuous and high- souled Mahendra, the lord of the celestials, the chastiser of Daityas and Danavas?
11894And what, further, shall I have to do for you?
11894And where is that asylum?
11894And where is thy hermitage?
11894And where, again, are those charming trees decked with fruits and flowers?"
11894And who also is he that desireth me to be his messenger?
11894And whose son art thou, and how hast thou come to do this work?"
11894And why also hast thou come into the woods?
11894And why hast thou come hither?
11894And why should not this king rule over the entire world when he hath the two sons of Madri to espouse his cause?
11894And, O Naishadha, how will it fare with thee when thou rememberest me?
11894And, O beauteous one, how hast thou fallen into this extreme misery?"
11894And, O descendant of the Vrishni race, while thou wert away, where didst thou dwell?
11894And, O king, who is there that will weaken in battle Arjuna, who could not be weakened by Maheswara himself possessed of eight forms?
11894And, O king, why dost thou not return an answer to thy beloved wife bewailing and bereft of sense, although thou lovest her, being loved in return?
11894And, O sister, assisted by Rama and Krishna, we are invincible in battle by even the slayer himself of Vritra-- what are the sons of Dhritarashtra?''"
11894And, O thou foremost of those acquainted with the Veda, what also did Arjuna do while dwelling there?
11894And, O thou of mighty arms, he said,"Where is that wretch of the Vrishni race, Vasudeva, the evil- souled son of Vasudeva?
11894Are those heroes, the five Pandavas living happily?
11894Art thou a female_ Yaksha_, or a female_ Rakshasa_, or a celestial damsel?
11894Art thou human?
11894Asked by thee, what else can I counsel thee to do?
11894Beholding that Arjuna that tiger among men worshipped by both the celestials and the Danavas so anxious, why, O king, dost thou not feel indignant?
11894But I do not seek to renounce thee, wherefore, O timid one, dost thou dread this?
11894But is there any ceremony, by celebrating which one may get a hundred sons?
11894But what do Bhishma and Drona and Vidura think?
11894But what stake hast thou now?
11894But, O timid one, can any other woman, forsaking her loving and devoted husband, ever choose a second lord like thee?
11894Can those who are familiar with his power, speak as thou dost?
11894Clad in this severed piece of cloth, and lying like one distracted, how will the beauteous one of luminous smiles behave when she awaketh?
11894Conscious of thy prowess, why didst thou not, O Bhima, say so before we entered into such an agreement?
11894Do those bulls of the Kuru race intend to stay out their time?
11894Dost thou not behold, O Brahmana, that vegetable juice floweth from the wound in my hand?
11894Doth he come hither, despatched by Sakuni, to invite us again to a game of dice?
11894Doth it not behove thee to deliver me?
11894Doth the little- minded Sakuni intend to win again our weapons at dice?
11894For what purpose, O Brahmana, doth one like us lead a domestic life, if he can not cherish and support those that follow him?
11894For what then do Rishis and gods and Gandharvas and Rakshasas who are all independent of human conditions, cherish virtue with such affection?
11894Free from thy curse, when thou wilt have regained thy mind and senses and wealth, how will it be with thee when thou thinkest of me?
11894From what other cause, then hath this disaster come?"
11894Hast thou ever seen me, O son of Suta, fly in fear from the field of battle like a coward?
11894Hast thou ever seen or heard of any such before?
11894Hast thou from despair been deprived of thy manliness?
11894Hast thou seen king Nala, the slayer of foes and the beloved husband of Damayanti,--freed from fear and grief and obstacles?
11894Hast thou, O foremost of mountains, with thy hundreds of peaks towering( into the sky) seen king Nala in this frightful forest?
11894Hath any misfortune, ever so little, befallen the world of men or serpents?"
11894Having entered into such an agreement in the presence of all good men, who dareth break it for the sake of a kingdom on earth?
11894Having given my pledge, O blessed one, unto the gods in especial, how can I, having come on other''s mission, dare seek my own interest?
11894Having hurled from the throne his in- offensive sons, will he be able to declare that he had treated them in a blameless way?
11894Having left my brothers behind me in the forest, and without avenging myself on the foe, shall I incur the opprobrium for all ages of all the world?''
11894Having left the field of battle, what shall I say unto that mighty warrior when I meet him?
11894Hiding thyself behind those shrubs, why dost thou not reply unto me?
11894How also were the illustrious Sthanu and the chief of the celestials gratified by him?
11894How also will these children, the brothers, Nakula and Sahadeva, equal unto a couple of young lions, both live in secret?
11894How came it then, O chiefs of the immortals, that Raivya succeeded in killing me in that way?"
11894How can I abandon my son for the sake of the sons of Pandu?
11894How can I go there now in misery, augmenting thy grief?"''
11894How can I hope to enter them?"
11894How can a person who is himself under the influence of love bring himself to speak thus unto a lady on behalf of others?
11894How can my wicked sons live, whose eldest brother and preceptor walketh not in the path of righteousness?
11894How can one know beforehand what the consequence will be?
11894How can one like us indulge in it then?
11894How can these horses of mine, weak in strength and breath, carry us?
11894How can they then rightfully claim the juice of the Soma?"''
11894How canst thou then consider the forsaking of one, seeking for help, as virtuous?
11894How could men know anything of it?
11894How hast thou been born in the Kshatriya order?
11894How hast thou settled all this in thy mind now?
11894How hast thou then, having pledged thy word, deserted me asleep in the woods?
11894How hath this lady of beautiful eyes been deprived of the company of her relatives and of her husband as well?
11894How may I secure the goodwill of the citizens so that they may not destroy us to the roots?
11894How shall I behold you all, that do not deserve to bear trouble, out of love for me painfully subsisting upon food procured by your own toil?
11894How shall I live afflicted with grief on account of my husband?"
11894How then can one like me indulge his anger which is so destructive of the world?
11894How, O Krishna, can one like us abandon forgiveness, which is such, and in which are established_ Brahma_, and truth, and wisdom and the worlds?
11894How, again, can I obtain the flowers soon?''
11894How, long- armed one, will Krishna pass over them?''
11894If a man were not himself the cause of his acts, how would all this be justified?
11894If fools, of mind without light, transgress in every respect, how, O faultless one, can one like me transgress( like them)?
11894If thou couldst do what thou hadst desired, could this calamity befall us?
11894In Gaya''s great sacrifice, who is there today, amongst creatures, that still desireth to eat?
11894In the evening oppressed with hunger and thirst and fatigue, underneath the trees, how wilt it take with thee when thou seest me not?"
11894Is death the better for me now?
11894Is everything well with the celestials?
11894Is he Rudra himself, or some other god, or a Yaksha, or an Asura?
11894Is he some god or Yaksha or Gandharva?"
11894Is it all well with my hermitage?
11894Is it not because he hath banished Kunti''s son from his kingdom?
11894Is there a king on this earth who is more unfortunate than myself?
11894Janamejaya said,"How did that bull among the Kurus, king Yudhishthira, for the sake of the Brahmanas adore the sun of wonderful appearance?"
11894Kesini then asked,"Whence doth the third among you come, and whose( son) is he?
11894Let me ask thee, who hath been to this place today?"''"
11894Like a large tree in a well- watered region with spreading branches and flowers and leaves, or like Indra''s elephant, how will Jishnu live unknown?
11894O Brahmana, what did Dhritarashtra of great wisdom say, when he heard of them?"
11894O Brahmana, what is thy opinion on this?''
11894O Naishadha, O sinless one, who will soothe thee when thou art weary, and hungry, and fainting, O tiger among kings?"
11894O Vidura, things having thus taken their course, what should we do now?
11894O bull among Munis, what can be the reason of this thy present joy?''
11894O hath king Nala, the lord of the Nishadhas, come to this delightful asylum of your holy selves?
11894O husband, dost thou desert me?
11894O lord, why hast thou gone away, deserting me today in the forest?
11894O slayer of Madhu, how can crookedness be in thee, devoid as thou art, O thou of the Dasarha race, of anger and envy and untruth and cruelty?
11894O son of a Suta, hast thou been bewildered at the sight of a Salwa in that fierce encounter?
11894O thou blest with length of days, whose spouse is she whom thus lamentest?"
11894O thou conversant with all duties, tell me truly which of these is meritorious?
11894Of frightful form and dreadful to behold, uttering loud cries as he came, the Rakshasa said,"O Hidimva, with whom dost thou converse?
11894Of what deed, then, is this the consequence?
11894Of what misdeed is this the consequence?
11894Of what use is my life without that bull among men?
11894Oh, when shall I see the sweet- speeched and large- hearted Vibhatsu so full of kindness and activity, return to us, having obtained all weapons?
11894Or hast thou been disheartened, beholding the fight?
11894Or should I desert my wife?
11894Or, hath Salihotra versed in the science of horses taken this human shape so beautiful?
11894Or, is Rituparna equally skilled with Nala so that the rattle of his car seemeth to be like that of Nala?"
11894Or, is it king Nala the reducer of hostile towns that hath come here?
11894Overwhelmed with the consequence of our pledge, and the time itself having passed, what is the use of thy addressing me these harsh words?
11894Possessed of fame and wisdom, and lineage, and kindness, why hast thou be unkind?
11894SECTION XIV"Yudhishthira said,''O Krishna, why wert thou absent( from the Anartta country)?
11894Simple, gentle, liberal, modest, truthful, how, O king could thy mind be attracted to the vice of gambling?
11894Suffering such wrongs at the hands of wicked and evil- doing foes of small strength, am I to burn in grief so long?
11894Tell us now, O Brahmana, what was the food of the sons of Pandu, while they lived in the woods?
11894Tell us, O blameless and blessed one, art thou the presiding deity of this forest, or of this mountain, or of this river?"
11894The celestials said,"Where is that Being who with pleasure raiseth up the Earth?
11894The gods, however, said,"O ruler of the Nishadhas, having promised first, saying,_ I will!_ why wilt thou not act accordingly now?
11894The son of Pandu then, O king, asked Lomasa, saying,''O illustrious one, why had Rama''s energy and might been taken away?
11894Then Indra, O Yudhishthira, went to him and addressed him saying,"Wherefore, O sage, hast thou become engaged in practising such rigid austerities?"
11894Then calling Sudeva, O king, the queen- mother asked him,"Whose wife is this fair one, and whose daughter?
11894Then king Yudhishthira, endued with great wisdom, addressed him saying,''Who art thou, and whose( son)?
11894Then that best of Munis-- Agastya-- bursting out in laughter, said,"How can he come out?
11894Then those two spake unto Raivya, saying,"What shall we do?"
11894Thinkest thou otherwise?''
11894Thinking of this Bhimasena living in sorrow in the woods, doth not thy anger blaze up, even though it is time?
11894Through whose power had she sunk an hundred_ yojanas_ below, and under what circumstances was exhibited this greatest exploit of the Supreme Being?
11894Thus addressed by Sakra, Narada replied,"Listen, O Mahaval, why seest not thou the kings( now)?
11894Thus addressed by the daughter of the king of the Vidarbhas, Nala answered her saying,"With the_ Lokapalas_ present, choosest thou a man?
11894Was it of the wilderness, or was it the produce of cultivation?"
11894Was not the enmity sufficient that was provoked by bringing Krishna into the assembly?
11894What also dost thou think?
11894What also, O Suta, will that lion among men, the grand- son of Sini( Satyaki), that great warrior, say on hearing that I have forsaken the fight?
11894What boon do ye solicit from me?"
11894What can I do now?
11894What can be sadder than this that the virtuous Vibhatsu hath gone away at thy command, thinking of his many griefs?
11894What damsel is there that would not choose king Nala endued with every virtue?
11894What do we gain by living in the asylum of ascetics, thus deprived of virtue, pleasure, and profit?
11894What else, O Brahmana, shall I do for thee?"
11894What for, O Brahmana, wilt thou destroy thyself?
11894What grief can be greater than this?
11894What hath she said unto us all?
11894What have I to do with any other sort of food?
11894What is the matter?
11894What is the name of this particular religious vow, which thou seemest to be observing now?"
11894What is the occasion of this thy visit?"
11894What other man on earth, except Phalguna, would strive to have a sight of these gods in their own forms?
11894What peace can my heart know in not beholding thee such now?
11894What peace, O king, can my heart know in not beholding all this now?
11894What prosperity can he have who is an object of alarm to the world?
11894What seekest thou in woods?
11894What shall I say unto them?
11894What shall I shoot now from my bow?
11894What will that sinner, the chieftain of the earth, say to the departed forefathers of his race, when the wretch will meet them in the world to come?
11894What will the elder brother of Kesava, the mighty- armed Baladeva, clad in blue and inebriate with wine, say, when he returneth?
11894What woman would not choose as her lord Hutasana-- the chief of the celestials, who encompassing the earth swalloweth it?
11894What woman would not choose him as her lord the dread of whose mace induceth all creatures to tread the path of virtue?
11894When this pigeon hath in such a manner sought my protection, why dost thou not see that the highest merit is even in my not surrendering it unto thee?
11894Where are all those ascetics?
11894Where are my favourite guests?"
11894Where be those Kshatriya heroes?
11894Where dost thou go, O just monarch, leaving all these citizens and the inhabitants of the country, like a father leaving his sons?
11894Where is he?_ the lord of Saubha rusheth to this place and that, desirous of encountering me in battle.
11894Where is now Vandin?
11894Where will ye go, leaving us in grief?
11894Where, further, is that delightful river of sacred waters-- the resort of diverse kinds of fowls?
11894Wherefore then being a child, dost thou talk like an old man?"
11894Wherefore, O prince, has thou then stopped to perpetrate a deed not sanctioned by the ordinance?
11894Wherefore, then, dost thou not reply unto me?
11894Who are ye that have come near me in the shape of my food?
11894Who can be more fortunate than he who hath been favoured with thy company, who hath Dhananjaya for a brother, and who is thought of by Vasava himself?
11894Who can be more fortunate than he who is remembered even by the lord of the celestials?
11894Who followed the steps of those princes plunged in excess of affliction?
11894Who is he?
11894Who is he?
11894Who is there capable of doing such an act?
11894Who is there that will defeat him?''"
11894Who is there that would be able to go forward to the car of Samva, who is great in fight, when mounted on a car?
11894Who is there that, desiring to live, will encounter these in battle, resembling angry lions of erect manes?''
11894Who is this person that swalloweth my arrows?
11894Who then, speaking with impartiality, will ever counsel me to renounce my own body for the sake of others?
11894Who, except the virtuous Nala, could go away, deserting in the woods, his dear and unoffending wife overcome with fatigue?
11894Why art thou so sad today?
11894Why did the king permit his foolish son Duryodhana to thus incense those mighty warriors, the sons of Pandu?
11894Why do they bear the wrongs inflicted( on me) by the sons of Dhritarashtra of such contemptible strength?
11894Why do ye fly?
11894Why do you speak so now?
11894Why dost thou go leaving the field of battle?
11894Why dost thou overlook then this great evil that is about to overtake all?
11894Why dost thou then, O king, forgive the wicked sons of Dhritarashtra?
11894Why dost thou then, O tiger among men, act in respect of thy duties, like a huge snake that is destitute of motion?
11894Why dost thou, for nothing, make this mighty endeavour?"
11894Why dost thou, so delicate and brought up in luxury and possessed of the splendour of fire, dwell alone in such a solitary region?''
11894Why doth not thy anger blaze up, O king, it sight of both Nakula and Sahadeva overwhelmed with grief, though so undeserving of distress?
11894Why doth not thy wrath blaze up at sight of that Arjuna in exile, who, on a single car, hath vanquished celestials and men and serpents?
11894Why doth thy sinful son of wicked heart, ever inflamed with ire, seek to slay the sons of Pandu for the sake of their kingdom?
11894Why is it that thou alone smilest, as if in glee, in the presence of these?''
11894Why should I disregard God, the lord of all creatures?
11894Why should I not then, choose Arjuna for a lover?
11894Why shouldst thou and the other celestials have a right to the distilled Soma juice, and not they?
11894Why then, good as thou art and acquainted with every duty, hast thou neglected both thy duties?
11894Why was he born as_ Ashtavakra_( crooked in eight parts in his body)?''
11894Why, O king, dost thou pardon the foe, O Yudhishthira, at sight of Madri''s son, the handsome and brave Sahadeva in exile?
11894Why, O king, doth not thy wrath blaze up at sight of Nakula, in exile, who so fair and able- bodied and young, is the foremost of all swordsmen?
11894Why, again, didst thou shoot the boar that was first aimed at by me?
11894Will the brotherly affection of the Kauravas ever be impaired?''
11894Without first vanquishing in battle all those foremost of men, unaided as thou art, how canst thou slay Duryodhana?
11894Yet why, O Lomasa, do they prosper in this world?''
11894being grilled in this hell?"
11894did he raise the celestial physicians to the rank of the drinkers of Soma?
11894dost thou not recognise him as an ancient Rishi of the highest merit?
11894thou of the splendour of gold, art thou not afraid of this terrible forest?
11894what dost thou desire of me?
11894what was the extent of power and strength possessed by king Somaka?
11894wherefore dost thou not answer me?
11894why dost thou weep?
36301''But pray inform me, my lord and master, when and how I have given you any cause of complaint? 36301 ''But, my child,''said the king,''if by chance some one should present himself, and reply to your questions?''
36301''What has happened?'' 36301 ''What is the matter, my dear husband?
36301''What is the matter? 36301 ''_ Do_ I love him?''
36301Ah, my lord,said he,"where are we, and to what state am I reduced?"
36301Ah,cried he,"weak worms, what have you presumed to do?
36301And pray,I asked in reply,"what are you doing at Candahar, and why have you left the court of Persia?
36301And the others,replied Hadgi- Achmet;"couldst not thou, if necessary, dispose of them, and buy others with the price?"
36301And thou, woman,said the dey,"dost thou still maintain that thy husband leaves thee in want of nourishment?"
36301And who lives,I asked,"in the palace at the end of the plain?"
36301Are there not, then, many honest men who are no richer than myself?
36301Art thou poor?
36301But tell me,returned Lin- pao,"why do n''t you still wear a white head- dress?
36301But thou,rejoined Selim,"if thou hadst aught to give away, what wouldst thou do?"
36301But, madam,I replied,"why give way to such gloomy presentiments at the very time when your presence brings me such delight?"
36301But,resumed king Bahaman,"night is coming on, and still the king of the genii does not appear; can he have forsaken us?"
36301By what means,he said,"can any person, however ingenious and daring, enter this fortress?
36301Can any man on earth do this?
36301Can she wish to be an eye- witness of my death, and does she desire to have me assassinated before the eyes of her father? 36301 Can these things be removed?"
36301Can you propose to us that we should live at the expense of your liberty? 36301 Do they not already kill each other by sea and by land?"
36301Do what you like,replied the king;"but what answer shall we send the caliph?"
36301Do you know,he said,"that a subject who has the audacity to lie to his master merits death?"
36301Do you mean to say that all men have some secret anxiety preying on their minds, because you appear in that state? 36301 Do you see all these bones?"
36301Does that prove that it would be wrong to do so?
36301Dost thou require much?
36301Father,said Haroun,"is it true that there is in this city a young man called Aboulcassem, who surpasses even kings in magnificence and generosity?"
36301From what country do you come?
36301Has any misfortune happened to you?
36301Has your life returned to you?
36301Have you also a place where I can put my horse?
36301Have you ever heard of this unfortunate El Kattab before?
36301How is it,replied Khalaf,"that she is such a source of grief to him?"
36301How is it,said the prince, raising him, and placing him on a sofa,"that you are still alive?
36301How much do you ask?
36301I asked you,said Tourandocte,"what tree is that whose leaves are white on one side and black on the other?"
36301I thought that no plant was ever to be found on those mountain tops covered with perpetual snow and frost?
36301I will suppose that I may enjoy the longest of lives, a hundred years for example, thinkest thou I shall live yet longer?
36301I? 36301 If I am not more successful than this,"thought he,"how am I to support my father and mother?"
36301If I made the fortune of my son, instead of that of my friend,said he at length to himself,"should I be guilty?
36301In this wall?
36301Is it then true,exclaimed the caliph,"that the happiness of all is a dream?
36301Is not your name Aswad?
36301Is this young prince mad,they whispered one to another,"to risk the loss of that for which he perilled his life?
36301It is something, nevertheless,replied Selim,"and wilt thou tell me what is necessary to be done, in order to add fifty years to one''s existence?"
36301It may be; but will it be good in practice? 36301 Merciful Heaven,"cried Khalaf, when he recovered from his stupefaction,"did I hear aright?
36301Must I believe,said he,"what I have just heard?
36301My dear friend,said he,"how old is your son?"
36301My father,cried he,"is it so indeed?
36301My lord,replied Tourandocte,"why do you think that I shall not be able to reply to the question of this prince?
36301My lord,said she,"what is it you propose to your daughter?
36301My lord,said she,"whence this violent transport which agitates you, and what do those words mean which you have just spoken?"
36301My thought is a good one then?
36301Of what use is our flight?
36301Of what use will thy doubloons be to thee when thou art dead? 36301 On what dost thou muse?"
36301Poor creature,said Medjeddin,"what is the matter?
36301Prince,I said to him,"could you possibly think that I would refuse to help you in the embarrassing situation in which you were placed on my account?
36301Prince,said he,"have you reflected upon the words which have just escaped your lips?"
36301Prince,said he,"why did you not come at once to me?
36301The prince Mesoud?
36301Then thou desirest not to prolong thy days upon the earth? 36301 Then thou wilt not consent to give me the third of what I know to be here, hidden though it may be?"
36301Then why not diminish thy transactions, and live in peace?
36301Thou wouldst change the order of things, the whole course of nature?
36301Well then,said Tourandocte,"tell me what creature is that which belongs to every land, is a friend to the whole world, and will not brook an equal?"
36301Well, and the result?
36301Well, my daughter,he said,"have you seen the treasure?"
36301Well, my lord,said Zemroude,"do you think the cadi has much reason to be satisfied with his work?
36301Well, prince,began Altoun- Khan,"am I to rejoice or grieve at your presence here to- day?
36301Well,he continued,"since you knew that, why have you committed the greatest of all crimes?"
36301Well,said Selim,"what has befallen thee?
36301Well,said the Jew,"what sayest thou?
36301Well,said the monarch,"have you done what I commanded you?"
36301What ails you, madam?
36301What am I about to do?
36301What can be the design of the princess?
36301What can be the reason, my angel,said he,"that your father prevents your marrying?
36301What crime have I committed?
36301What do you say, my son?
36301What do you say, my son?
36301What have you done, my lord?
36301What is it, madam?
36301What is it? 36301 What is that mother,"resumed the princess,"who, after having brought her children into the world, devours them when they are grown up?"
36301What is the matter, my lord?
36301What man,said he,"is entirely master over his own thoughts?
36301What matters it,I said,"whether I die of thirst or of poison?"
36301What obligations am I not under to you?
36301What on earth is all this to end in?
36301What profits it to meditate so deeply upon a thing which all the reflections of man can not change?
36301What sayest thou?
36301What sayst thou?
36301What was his name?
36301What wilt thou do to effect my cure?
36301What, now, fakir,asked I,"do you view my happy condition with chagrin?
36301What,exclaimed Medjeddin in astonishment,"in his pocket!--how can that be?"
36301What,he asked,"was the colour of the girdle which contained your money, and of what material was it made?"
36301Who is the man of whom you make this complaint?
36301Why am I still in the world?
36301Why have you treated my nightingale thus? 36301 Why should you be afraid to tell them?
36301Why then,said the vizir,"did you pretend not to know him at Ormus?"
36301Why,asked Bahaman, when his enemy was brought before him,"why have you advanced into my dominions against all right and reason?
36301Will I tell thee?
36301With whom dost thou decree that Ormed shall remain? 36301 Wretch,"said the cadi,"what dost thou take me for?
36301You are in a great hurry,she remarked;"what can it be that obliges you to walk so fast?"
36301''Am I just made a bridegroom, clothed in silk, wearing a shawl and a dagger set with diamonds, and am I to go and shut the door?
36301''Do you ask whether the ant beneath your feet has a right to complain?
36301''What signifies it, whether we die in a stable or on a throne?
36301A neighbour, who heard me calling out in an agony of despair, opened her door, and said to me,"Hassan Abdallah, is that you?
36301And do you seriously think of carrying it into effect?"
36301And what does he give me in return?
36301And why?
36301Are they not creditable to you?"
36301Are we the first princes whom the rod of justice has struck?
36301Are we to become the object of the inquiries and suspicions of the police?"
36301Are you a beggar, and do you need any gift?
36301Are you now in a fit state to resist all attempts to make you disclose your secret?
36301Are you strong enough to support the highest joy that your heart can feel or conceive?"
36301Art thou content?"
36301As I concealed the clothes, he said to me,"My brother, what have you got there hid under your cloak?"
36301Aswad, where was your discretion?
36301At length the lady Wang went to the door, and standing behind it without opening it, asked,"Who is knocking there, and making such a disturbance?"
36301At these words Firouzshah appeared thunderstruck, and then addressing Zelica, he inquired,"Who then is the prince who is your father?"
36301At these words Yang at first appeared confused, and changed colour; then, assuming a more confident expression,"What are you thinking of?"
36301Besides, how do you know that I shall not be able to reply to her questions?
36301But I ask you, princess, ought I thus to steal away from Altoun- Khan?
36301But come, hast thou decided?
36301But dost thou not see that it is wise to be at peace with thy brother, and that to obtain this peace there is no sacrifice too great?
36301But has he got a son?
36301But how is a private individual able to make such presents?
36301But in what did his riches consist?
36301But speak, what is the cause of your affliction?"
36301But tell me how is it?
36301But what could I do in my cage?
36301But what do I say?
36301But what had become of the inhabitants?
36301But what profit would this be to me?"
36301But who can say or know what is really a good or an evil?
36301But who shall describe her ecstasies of joy when her son was presented to her?
36301But why wish to purchase me?
36301By what good luck do I find you here?"
36301By what scourge had they been cut off, or what reason had induced them to quit so beautiful a city?
36301Can I refuse to obey it?"
36301Can he have changed his mind, and issued the order for my death?"
36301Can she carry her cruelty thus far?
36301Can the death of the princess Zelica have driven you away as it did me?"
36301Can the king be an accomplice in the deed?
36301Can you be sure that I shall not be able to answer the questions that may be put to me?
36301Can you tell me where the sheik Hassan Abdallah, the son of El- Achaar, resides in the city?"
36301Can you tell me why this street is so quiet, as though every inhabitant were dead?"
36301Conducting me into a very elegant apartment, he asked me,"What is your name?"
36301Do you call it_ possessing_ a treasure if it must not be touched?
36301Do you know the peril to which you may expose her?
36301Do you love Aswad sufficiently to make so great a sacrifice?''
36301Do you really believe this to be the truth?"
36301Do you take me for a dishonest man, or imagine that my purse is empty?"
36301Do you think I shall soon spend all this?"
36301Do you think me so unjust, that I shall take it from you?"
36301Do you think to impose upon me?
36301Do you wish to see us die with hunger?"
36301Does he imagine he can propose a question that will be too difficult for Tourandocte to solve?
36301Does it depend upon men themselves to be happy or unhappy?
36301Dost thou dare thus to treat me who have it in my power to revenge myself on my enemies; me who, when I please, can put the like of thee in fetters?
36301Exerting all her ingenuity, she next asked,"What tree is that whose leaves are white on one side and black on the other?"
36301Hadgi- Achmet turned to the other brother:"Farzan, canst thou not yield to thy brother the amulet he wishes to possess?"
36301Hadgi- Achmet, addressing himself to Chamyl, said,"In what does thy fortune consist?"
36301Haroun was offended at this, and said to himself,"What does all this mean?
36301Hast thou not children, and are not children much dearer than a friend?"
36301Have I said or done any thing to cause your tears to flow?
36301He asked her a thousand questions; what were the customs of the inhabitants of the city?
36301He is now at hand: does your majesty wish him to be introduced to your presence?"
36301He then proceeded to relate to him the events of his journey, and ended by asking,"Giafar, what shall I do?
36301Here are the twenty täels that my friend Tchin has given me; can I do better than employ them towards the maintenance of some virtuous bonzes?
36301How can I be sufficiently grateful for so many favours?
36301How could she conceive so base a project?"
36301How long ago was it inhabited?
36301How much dost thou demand for thy reward?"
36301How ought I to distribute the half of my large fortune?"
36301How then can I surpass him in generosity?"
36301I am also informed that you keep concealed at home a daughter of an age to marry; is that true?"
36301I am suddenly become very rich, as thou knowest, and I have no son to inherit my wealth; is it not too great for a single solitary man?
36301I could explain to you all these mysteries; but to what purpose?
36301I have not wherewith to continue my journey to that town, will you be so charitable as to lend me three täels?
36301I said, weeping,"is this indeed a thing so easy for me?
36301I thought; can this be some new misfortune that has befallen me?
36301I told you a thousand times that she would not suit you; you would not believe-- whose fault is it?"
36301If God has the power to pluck off crowns, has He not also the power to restore them?
36301If I cure thee what will be my profit?
36301If there were any intention of making you marry again, do you think there would be any difficulty?
36301If this business is hurried on, how shall I be able to inform them of it?
36301If thou discoverest another still more marvellous, thou wilt give it me, at least for my own use, wilt thou not?"
36301If you did not wish him to live, why did you restore him to life?"
36301In a word, is he a man to whose interests I could worthily attach myself?"
36301In what way dost thou consider it would be most desirable to employ this wealth?"
36301Is he afraid I want him to make me a present?
36301Is he generous, and do you think that he would pay any regard to a young stranger, who might offer to serve him against his enemies?
36301Is it not Allah that spins the thread of our destiny?
36301Is it not also true that the king himself used all his endeavours to dissuade you from your rash resolution?"
36301Is it not in hopes of making them more happy that I am about to expose my life?
36301Is it possible that it is you I have met here?"
36301Is it possible that the princess of China could be guilty of such an atrocious attempt?
36301Is it the secret of making gold?"
36301Is it thus that you show the submission you owe to the decrees of Heaven?
36301Is not a son nearer and dearer than all the friends in the world?
36301Is not this unexpected good fortune, a blessing from Heaven?
36301Is the question the prince has proposed so difficult, that you can not answer it?
36301Is your majesty quite contented?"
36301It is of no use to say to a poor man like me,''To whom wouldst thou give thy money?''
36301May I be so bold in return to inquire to whom I have the honour of speaking?"
36301Merciful Heaven, is it the lot of all those who look upon this portrait to become enamoured of this inhuman princess?
36301My dear bird, my little husband, why art thou taken from, me so soon?
36301Nevertheless, I desire not to sell the powder, but may I bestow it, and at once, upon one or two men whom I esteem highly?"
36301Of what account are fifty years added to sixty or eighty, soon to be over for me?
36301Of what avail is it that these walls are built of precious stones?
36301Of what benefit would money got by such means be to me?"
36301Of what have I been guilty?''
36301On my way to the palace I said to myself,"Firouzshah has no doubt discovered my correspondence with Zelica; but how can he have learned it?"
36301On the sixteenth day my guest, after chatting on indifferent matters, said to me,"Hassan, would you like to sell yourself to me?"
36301Ought you to have feared an ungracious reception?
36301Possessed of gold, what can we not enjoy?
36301Pray what are the contents of this chest?"
36301Regrettest thou what has been taken from thy shop?
36301Shall I succeed in my purpose?
36301Since this prince has answered your questions satisfactorily, I ask all this assembly if it is not right that you should become his wife?"
36301Speak, and reply exactly and truly to my questions:--When you came to Candahar, were you not told that I was a severe punisher of criminals?"
36301Tchin thought to himself,"Where should I find a man of such probity as Lin- in?
36301The book of wisdom is now useless; what man is there who does not think himself wise?"
36301The khan then said to him,"Thou appearest to be a stranger amongst us; where wast thou born, and what is thy profession?"
36301The king then said,"Who are you?
36301The officer, at these words, regarding him with astonishment, said to him,"Prince, do you know that you come to seek death?
36301Then he said,"Mahmoud, dost thou declare that thou affordest sufficient nourishment to thy wife?"
36301There, near the Indies, is a high mountain, Mount Himalaya-- dost thou not know it?"
36301Thy wife and thy sons, are they ill?
36301To live fifty years longer than usual, what is that?"
36301We are too fortunate not to be molested by these monsters; why should we go in search of them?"
36301What alarm can all the princes of the world, to say nothing of Cacem, occasion to the father- in- law of the king of the genii?
36301What am I to think?
36301What are you come to tell me?''
36301What can detain her so long at her father''s?
36301What can have happened?
36301What can his motive be?"
36301What certainty have you that I shall perish?
36301What clothes are these you appear in?
36301What could he intend to do?
36301What good would that do?
36301What has happened?
36301What has taken place?''
36301What have I done to deserve such punishment from Heaven?"
36301What injury shall I do him by taking the chandelier?
36301What is the good of throwing oneself into the water before the ship is really going to pieces?"
36301What is your determination?"
36301What king could have possessed such riches?
36301What man would not be terrified at the condition without which he can not hope to obtain her?
36301What precious stones do you speak of that we have belonging to you?"
36301What prince would be mad enough to face such danger?''
36301What provocation have I given you for making war against me?"
36301What shall I write to the caliph?"
36301What tongue can express to you the gratitude I feel for so great an honour?
36301What will be his grief when he knows that he has conferred such a benefit upon his enemy?
36301What would he think of me?
36301When I related the strange proposal of my guest, my mother said,"What can this man want to do with you?"
36301When she confesses to you that you are dear to her, how will you receive such a glorious avowal?
36301When the Arab saw me, he said,"Is this what you promised me?
36301When they arrived, he said to them,"What were you disputing about, my friends, when I passed you?"
36301Where would it be possible for her to meet with one more perfectly worthy of her?"
36301Who are you who can promise this?"
36301Who are you?"
36301Why do you not show me your treasure?
36301Why give way to this transport of fury?
36301Why have you risked the danger of losing the object of your love?"
36301Why have you torn me away from my poor but peaceful home?"
36301Why is it that he is now the fortunate owner of this treasure of treasures?
36301Why not therefore endeavour to prolong thine own?
36301Why persevere in the pursuit of an inhuman creature whom thou wilt never be able to obtain?
36301Why was it ordained that you should come to lodge in my house?
36301Why will you not do it yourself?
36301Why, have I often asked myself, should our lives be shorter than those of an oak of the forests, of a serpent, or even of a vulture?"
36301Will you become one of our fraternity?
36301Will your love for me hold out against the honour of having the affections of the first princess in the world?"
36301Wilt thou enter into partnership with me?"
36301Would it not be better to keep this treasure for thyself and for thy sons?
36301Would they not kill each other for want of room?"
36301added he,"what will be thy grief when thou shalt be told of the extraordinary death of thy son?
36301and who shall dare to carry thee the news?"
36301are you ill?"
36301art thou sick, or dost thou return to me perishing of hunger?"
36301asked I;"of what am I accused?"
36301charming Tourandocte,"hereupon cried the prince of the Nagäis,"is it possible that you entertain such favourable sentiments towards me?
36301cried he;"ought I to disclose to my eyes so dangerous an object?
36301cried she,"by what good fortune did you recover our dear child, whom I thought we had lost for ever?"
36301cried the physician of Tunis,"is not life preferable to all the riches in the world?
36301cruel daughter of the best of kings, is it thus that you abuse the gifts with which Heaven has endowed you?
36301eagerly asked the widow,"what enterprise are you so rashly planning?
36301exclaimed the Arab;"are you not Hassan Abdallah, and can you send away your guest by concealing your name?"
36301exclaimed the cadi,"is it possible to marry such a monster as that?"
36301exclaimed the lady,"whither does your love carry you?
36301have I lied to thee, or deceived myself?
36301have you become so much altered in the course of so few years?
36301have you discovered any thing?''
36301have you found any thing?
36301have you left off mourning?"
36301have you then killed and robbed some one?
36301he cried,"what are you doing?
36301he replied, eyeing them with a threatening aspect,"what will you say, when I show you a certificate from the cadi of Ormus, proving the contrary?"
36301he said,"is it to you I owe my life?"
36301how can I escape his snares?
36301how couldst thou confer on this barbarous princess so much beauty, or why adorn so inhuman a soul with so many charms?"
36301how did you learn to break my charm in this manner?
36301how has the time passed with you since our last interview?"
36301how is it that you have told what I wished to conceal, if it were possible, even from myself?
36301how many families Pekin was said to contain?
36301how was it possible for him to get into my room?
36301is not this street lonely enough, that you can not hold your discourse aloud?
36301is that you, my eldest brother?
36301must I confess it, cruel though the princess of China be, I could never find in my foolish heart to hate her?
36301my dear child,"said he, patronizingly,"of what service can I be to you?"
36301oh, king of the world, was it you who honoured your slave''s house?"
36301resumed Tchin;"where else should I find such honesty and generosity?"
36301said Aboulcassem,"is it possible so unworthy and cruel a father possesses such a daughter?"
36301said I to myself;"and by whose orders can it be that this eunuch treats me in such a manner?"
36301said I,"what is the nature of the secret?
36301said Yousouf,"art thou mad?
36301said he to himself,"how is this, that the cadi, my greatest enemy, is become so civil to me to- day?
36301said he,"if I die, what will become of my father and mother?"
36301said he,"what are you doing?
36301said she;"what causes you to be thus agitated?"
36301said the young man much surprised;"why this sudden grief?
36301shall I receive from him such an act of kindness, and not be able to repay him?
36301she asked,"and what fancies have you got into your head?
36301she exclaimed,"what is the meaning of this change, and what has that man been saying to you?"
36301she exclaimed;''am I, young, robed in a satin dress, with lace and precious stones, am I to go and shut the court- yard door?
36301she said,"do you still bring back this basket?
36301that this lattice is of fine gold, that this cage is of gold, and hangs on a golden chain?
36301that what is joy to one, may be the cause of grief to another?
36301what am I, and what have I done to deserve the honour of being your father- in- law?"
36301what has Aswad done more than other men to deserve such an accumulation of good fortune?"
36301what sayst thou?"
36301what will become of us?
36301where is your sister- in- law?"
36301where?
36301who are you, and where do you come from?
36301who bid you destroy the cage?"
36301who can foresee the consequences of things?
36301why did I speak of Tourandocte?
36301why had my master not my eyes when he took thee into his hands?
36301why will they not leave me to live in peace without making attempts on my liberty?
36301with his adopted or with his real father?"
36301with the genius and penetration you possess, can you not accomplish it?"
36301you say the enchanter brings his hateful son with him-- why, then, have I never seen him?"
12333''And one among them said,Of the one who is to go with thee, who will go and who will fall down?"
12333''Skanda replied,What sort of happiness dost thou wish to enjoy?"
12333For what reason?
12333Hearing these words, Karna said,''Who art thou that tellest me so, showing me such kindness? 12333 Markandeya continued,''Then Sakra having expressed a wish to say something to Skanda, the latter enquired,"What is it?"
12333The serpent said,''O Yudhishthira, say-- Who is a_ Brahmana_ and what should be known? 12333 Yudhishthira enquired,''Which, O snake, is the higher of the two, truth or alms- giving?
12333Yudhishthira said,''By what means do Brahmanas, who accept gifts from all the four orders, save others as well as themselves?
12333Yudhishthira said,''In what race was Rama born and what was the measure of his might and prowess? 12333 Yudhishthira said,''O divine one, why wast thou cursed by the high- souled Agastya?
12333Yudhishthira said,''O holy one, O thou possessed of the wealth of asceticism, who was this_ Daitya_ of great energy? 12333 Yudhishthira said,''O thou of great wisdom, what purification is there by which a Brahmana may always keep himself pure?
12333''Is this forest under some malign influence?
12333''What shall I do?
12333''[ 68] The Yaksha asked,''By what doth one become learned?
12333''[ 69] The Yaksha asked,''What constituteth the divinity of the Brahmanas?
12333''[ 70] The Yaksha asked,''What is of the foremost value to those that cultivate?
12333''[ 72] The Yaksha asked,--''What is that which sojourneth alone?
12333A mighty warrior as he is and accomplished in arms now, will he not be able to slay you all?
12333Alas, why lie ye insensible on the earth, with your bodies unwounded, ye unvanquished ones, and with your vows untouched?''
12333Amongst us three, who shall fall down first?"
12333And Arjuna asked, saying,''How is Subhadra, and her son Abhimanyu?''
12333And I asked myself,"How doth this boy alone sit here when the world itself hath been destroyed?"
12333And Narada then said,"Whither had this thy daughter gone?
12333And O Pritha''s son, dost thou not turn thy inclination unto sinful acts?
12333And Rama skilled in speech, asked him, saying,"Who art thou?
12333And Rama then taking up his bow and quiver, addressed those monkeys, saying,"Have you been successful?
12333And afflicted with grief, they began to lament in piteous accents, saying,"Alas, O son, alas, O chaste daughter- in- law, where are you?"
12333And after the_ Rishi_ had said so, of the two that remained, one asked,"Who amongst us two shall fall down?"
12333And after those rites were ended, a strange goddess, O king, with mouth wide open, arose( from the sacrificial fire), saying,''What am I to do?''
12333And are pious men gratified, being honoured by thee?
12333And art thou intent upon virtue?
12333And as he was rushing( towards the water), he heard these words from the sky,''Why dost thou approach this water?
12333And at this Indradyumna became a horse and carried me to where that owl lived and the king asked the owl, saying,"Dost thou know me?"
12333And by what means?
12333And can a man that is troubled with fear have peace, and how can one that hath no peace have happiness?
12333And did they meet with Vaisravana?
12333And dismissing his ministers, he enquired of her in private, saying,"Blessed sister, who hath made thee so, forgetting and disregarding me?
12333And dost thou go along the way taken by the royal sages?
12333And dost thou, O best of the Kurus, properly know how to perform meritorious acts, and to eschew wicked deeds?
12333And endued as I am with the strength of ten thousand elephants, how hast thou been able to overpower me?
12333And even dwelling in the woods, dost thou follow virtue alone?
12333And for what doth one fail to go to heaven?''
12333And for what to the king?''
12333And for what, a sacrifice?''
12333And from whom did they hear this welcome news?
12333And he asked me, saying,"O son of Kunti, whither wilt thou go?"
12333And he came unto me and asked,"Dost thou know me?"
12333And he said with joined hands,"Alas, do I not know this one?
12333And how can I, who am desirous of the welfare of all creatures, commit an unrighteous act?
12333And how has thou obtained the weapons, and how also hast thou gratified the lord of the celestials?
12333And how has thou obtained the weapons?
12333And how hast thou beheld the divine_ Sakra_, and the wielder of_ Pinaka_?
12333And how should I behave so that I may not fall away from the duties of my order?''
12333And in what manner didst thou worship( them)?
12333And in whom is he established?''
12333And inflamed with desire, he said to the prince named Kotika,''Whose is this lady of faultless form?
12333And quickly advancing towards Lakshmana while reproving him still, Rama asked him,"O Lakshmana, is the princess of Videha still alive?
12333And seeing me, they asked,"O Phalguna, what art thou going to do?"
12333And she said to herself,''Of what nature are those_ mantras_ that have been bestowed on me by that high- souled one?
12333And that crane was asked by us,"Dost thou know the king Indradyumna?"
12333And the Brahmana was on the point of cursing the king, when the latter said,"O Brahmana, dost thou curse him that doth not give thee what thou askest?
12333And the crane was asked by us,"Is there any one who is older than thou?"
12333And the enquirer asked,"For what cause?"
12333And the enquirer asked,"For what reason?"
12333And the king said unto himself again and again,''Why is it that the two sons of Madri are delaying?
12333And the regenerate_ Rishi_ said to them,"How hath a Brahmana come to be killed by you, and say where may be he?
12333And the royal sage Indradyumna thereupon asked the owl,"Is there any one who is older than thou?"
12333And then, O thou conqueror of hostile cities, the_ Muni_ Tarkshya, addressed them, saying,"Ye princes, can this be the Brahmana of your killing?
12333And thereupon the enquirer asked,"For what cause?"
12333And they who saw her asked themselves,''Is this an Apsara, or a daughter of the gods, or a celestial phantom?''
12333And thus addressed, the king said,"Hath any one, before this, seen birds thus speak the pure speech of man?
12333And what also did they do, when the twelfth year of their exile passed away?
12333And what also is his chief refuge?''
12333And what did the offspring of the Sun, Karna, and the mighty Sakuni, and Bhishma, and Drona, and Kripa do?
12333And what did those exceedingly powerful ones, gifted with manliness, do?
12333And what do ye desire?''
12333And what hath been called simplicity?''
12333And what hath been spoken of as grief?''
12333And what he, that is devoted to virtue?''
12333And what is charity?''
12333And what is envy?''
12333And what is more numerous than grass?''
12333And what is of the foremost value to those that bring forth?''
12333And what is pride?
12333And what is shame?''
12333And what is that which if renounced, maketh one happy?''
12333And what is that which sacrifice can not do without?''
12333And what is that which swells with its own impetus?''
12333And what is the best of all kinds of happiness?''
12333And what is the largest field?''
12333And what is this entire Universe?''
12333And what is true restraint?
12333And what is_ the_ news?
12333And what practice of theirs is like that of the impious?''
12333And what practice of theirs is like that of the impious?''
12333And what was the food of those high- souled ones, when those heroes of the worlds dwelt( there)?
12333And what, as poison?
12333And what, of happiness?''
12333And what, patience?
12333And when the_ Asura_ was gone, Indra said to that lady,"Who and whose wife art thou, O lady with a beautiful face, and what has brought thee here?"''"
12333And where do the actions of an animated being who is dead find their resting place?''
12333And where is that same sable person that was dragging me away?"
12333And who are they with whom an alliance can not break?''
12333And who is the friend of one about to die?''
12333And who is this best of serpents having a body like unto a mountain mass?''
12333And why also hast thou assumed the shape of a monkey?
12333And why doth Bhima too, endued with great strength, delay?
12333And why doth the wielder also of the_ Gandiva_ delay?
12333And, O Bharata, her father asked her every morning and evening saying,''O daughter, is the Brahmana satisfied with thy ministrations?''
12333And, O Pandava, has thou adequately secured the weapons?
12333And, O Partha, doth not Dhaumya grieve at thy conduct?
12333And, O Partha, hath not thy attention to thy father and thy mother diminished?
12333And, O best of righteous men among the twice- born, in what way is an embodied animated being joined by his good and evil deeds that seek him out?
12333And, O best of those that are proficient in the knowledge of God, how is it that men''s actions follow them?
12333And, O descendant of Bhrigu, is what we experience in this world the result of the acts of this very life?
12333And, O eminently pious one, to whom and in what prescribed way did he give it?
12333And, O evil- minded one, having partaken of our food, how canst thou carry us off?
12333And, O foremost of reptiles, what wilt thou do with me?
12333And, O foremost of the Bharatas, being frightened, he again and again cried,"Where art thou?"
12333And, O king, he also said unto me,"Why hast thou, transgressing the rules of hunting, hit the animal first hit at by me?
12333And, O king, how can one acquire intelligence?''
12333And, O king, on seeing this wonderful city of the Daityas, I asked Matali saying,"What is this that looketh so wonderful?"
12333And, O king, whence also doth she come?
12333And, O messenger of the gods, what constitutes happiness in heaven, and what are the disadvantages thereof?
12333Answer_ me_ who enquire of thee?
12333Are all thy superiors, and the aged, and those versed in the Vedas, honoured by thee?
12333Art thou a Siddha, or a god, or a Gandharva, or a Guhyaka?
12333Art thou a friend of ours, or even our father himself?''
12333Art thou not ashamed?
12333Art thou possessed of any magic, or hast thou received any boon, that although exerting myself, I have been overcome by thee?
12333Art thou the foremost of the Vasus, or of the Rudras, or of the chief of the Maruts?
12333Art thou, as sole ruler, governing with justice the rich countries of Saivya, Sivi, Sindhu and others that thou hast brought under thy sway?
12333Aswapati then said,"And is the prince Satyavan liberal in gifts and devoted to the Brahmanas?
12333Beautiful lady, how is it that they are so obedient to thee and are never angry with thee?
12333Benefited as thou has been, whence is this unreasonable grief of thine?
12333But as in cold, heat doth not exist, nor in heat, cold, so there can not exist an object in which both( happiness and misery) can not exist?''
12333But how can one like us, acquainted with every truth of morality, embrace even for a moment a woman that had fallen into other''s hands?
12333But what can I do?
12333By obtaining which, or by knowing what wilt thou receive satisfaction, O snake, and what food shall I give thee?
12333By what doth he attain what is very great?
12333Do thou understand this?
12333Do thy subjects continue to pay thee the same allegiance that they used to pay thee before?
12333Dost thou follow the customs of thy ancestors, by charity, and religious observances, and asceticism, and purity, and candour, and forgiveness?
12333Dost thou not exalt thyself?
12333Dost thou not know, O hawk, that this creature looketh like a sacrifice with the_ Soma_ juice?
12333Dost thou not pay heed unto the established order of nature?
12333Dost thou not think so?
12333Engaged as thou are, what canst thou do to me with these angry glances of thine?
12333Exaltest thou thy husband above them?
12333Exquisitely beautiful as thou art, how is it that thou feelest not any fear in these forests?
12333For what are friends forsaken?
12333For what didst thou do all this?''
12333For what may a kingdom be considered as dead?
12333For what may a_ Sraddha_ be considered as dead?
12333For what to mimes and dancers?
12333For what to servants?
12333Forsaking Arjuna the might of whose arm is worshipped by all the sons of Pandu, why dost thou wish Nakula to revive?''
12333From what motive then dost thou wish a step- brother to revive?
12333Hast thou even seen or heard of any chaste and exalted lady that resembleth this daughter of Drupada?''
12333Hast thou, adorable sir, reached this place without any difficulty?"''
12333Hath thou ever seen or heard of such a one before?''"
12333Have the lord of the celestials and_ Rudra_ gladly granted thee the weapons?
12333Having afflicted thy enemies by thy prowess, why dost thou wish for death?
12333Having once tasted the sweet wine prepared from honey or flowers, how can a woman, I fancy, relish the wretched arrak from rice?"
12333He fell down upon the ground, and screaming loudly said,''I have harmed no one, what sinful man has done this?''
12333He then asked me,"Is there any one who is longer lived than thou?"
12333Hearing these words, Yudhishthira said,''Art thou the foremost of the Rudras, or of the Vasus, or of the Marutas?
12333How also do men pass it over?
12333How can I answer thee, O lady, about the cause that is pursued by wicked females?
12333How can a she- elephant, who hath lived with the mighty leader of a herd with rent temples forsake him and live with a hog?
12333How can man, thereof, have salvation?
12333How can one have a second?
12333How can we enter the city without thee?''"
12333How can, then, the wife do the least injury to her lord?
12333How canst thou act so, leaving thy followers in the midst of thy foes?''
12333How canst thou, O Rakshasa, ravish her when I am alive?
12333How canst thou, forsaking Bhima whose strength is equal to that of ten thousand elephants, wish Nakula to live?
12333How could I, therefore, slay thee, who wert thus innocent of offence, and who wert in the disguise of a Brahmana?
12333How could then illusion overpower you?
12333How could things thus antagonistic to one another exist together?''
12333How else could he have thus commanded us that are dwellers of heaven, as if indeed, we were his servants?
12333How hath the dead come to life again?
12333How long also, O chastiser of foes, wilt thou stay here?
12333How shall I ever speak with them?
12333How then is god the agent?
12333How wouldst thou, therefore, be able to walk on foot?"
12333How, again, can one like us raise such obstacles in the way of the merchants?
12333I ask, what god art thou?
12333I have described all this to thee, what else dost thou wish to know?"''"
12333I have described to thee these virtues, what else dost thou wish to learn?"''"
12333If kingdoms become unprotected, whence can proceed prosperity and happiness?
12333If the former be the correct reading, the meaning would be--''What is the best of things that fall?''
12333If, therefore, O king, the Pandavas, who live in the territories, have liberated thee, what is there to be regretted at in this?

12333Or is it in some subsequent existence?

12333Or will the acts of this life bear fruit in the world to come?
12333Or, hast thou come from the mansions of Dhatri, or of Vidhatri, or of Savitri, or of Vibhu, or of Sakra?
12333Or, have they all fallen, in consequence of having disregarded some mighty being?
12333Or, is it infested by some wicked beasts?
12333Or, is this behaviour proper for a Brahmana?"

12333The daughters begotten by the Fire- god,_ Tapa_, went over to Skanda, who said to them,"What can I do for you?"
12333The first question then, becomes,''Who is it that exalteth the unpurified soul?''
12333The king then asked,"And is prince Satyavan, who is devoted to his father, endued with energy and intelligence and forgiveness and courage?"
12333The promises of men may be ineffectual; but why have the words of the gods uttered in respect of thee been thus fruitless?

12333Why then in the present case have we met with this disaster?''"
12333Why then, O lord, hast thou come in person?"''
12333Why therefore, hast thou returned( thus unsuccessful)?
12333Why wouldst thou abandoning from foolishness the high prosperity that I won for thee, cast off thy life today, O king, yielding to silliness?
12333Why, O sinless one, is the entire universe within thy body?
12333Will this ornament of womankind, this slender- waisted lady of so much beauty, endued with handsome teeth and large eyes, accept me as her lord?
12333Will ye impart life unto me?
12333Will ye once more enable me to reign in Ayodhya after having slain my enemy in battle and rescued the daughter of Janaka?
12333With allies such as these, why dost thou despair, O chastiser of foes?
12333Witnessing these strange phenomena, Dharma''s son Yudhishthira, the foremost of speakers, said,''Who is it that will overcome us?
12333Would not the Pandavas destroy us by looking down upon us with angry eyes?
12333Ye how can I do what is sinful by taking it on myself to surrender my person to him?''"
12333You too are learned in this matter, what is your opinion?''
12333[ 52] And coming upon us unawares for devouring us, he said,''Who are ye that are speaking thus of my brother_ Jatayu_?
12333[ 76] I do not know what thou mayst think of all this, O Yaksha?''
12333that Bhima, of mighty prowess and possessing the strength of ten thousand elephants, was stricken with panic at( the sight of) that snake?
7864''The husband then addressing his wife Pradweshi, said,''Why is it that thou also hast been dissatisfied with me?''
7864''After the birth of Vrikodara, Pandu again began to think,How am I to obtain a very superior son who shall achieve world- wide fame?
7864''Arjuna answered,She is Vasudeva''s daughter and Vasudeva''s( Krishna) sister; endued with so much beauty, whom can she not fascinate?
7864''Ashtaka asked,For what sin are beings, when they fall from heaven, attacked by these fierce and sharp- toothed Rakshasas?
7864''Ashtaka asked,How many kinds of Munis are there( observers of the vow of the silence)?"
7864''Ashtaka said,How, O father, do men attain to those superior regions whence there is no return to earthly life?
7864''Ashtaka then said,Whose are those five golden cars that we see?
7864''Hearing these words, Hidimva said,What need is there, O man, for this thy vaunt and this thy boast?
7864''Hearing this, Sukra said,O daughter, what good can I do to thee?
7864''Jarita then said,What hast thou to do with the eldest of these, and what with him that is next?
7864''Mandapala then said,Who amongst these is thy first born, and who the next after him?
7864''On hearing this, Yudhishthira asked,O great Muni, whose sons were Asuras called Sunda and Upasunda?
7864''When they had all finished speaking, Vyasa said,O amiable one, how shall thou be saved from the consequence of untruth?
7864And Sringin asked,''What wrong was done to that wicked monarch by my father? 7864 Astika asked,''Why wert thou, O mother, bestowed on my father by my uncle?
7864Janamejaya asked,''O Brahmana, how was Drona born? 7864 Janamejaya said,''O Brahmana, what did those tigers among men, the Pandavas, do after they had slain the Rakshasa Vaka?''
7864Janamejaya said,''O best of Brahmanas, how did Gandhari bring forth those hundred sons and in how many years? 7864 Vaisampayana continued,''And Devayani without waiting for a reply from the king, asked the children themselves,"Ye children, what is your lineage?
7864Vaisampayana continued,''Sukra then said,By what path, O Brahmana, hast thou entered my stomach, where thou stayest now?
7864A child as thou art, how much more dost thou stand in need of counsel?
7864Again, how was his son Aswatthaman, the foremost of all skilled in arms born?
7864Always melancholy at the thought of the Rishi''s curse, how came he to be merry with thee in solitude?
7864Amongst his friends, or of our own race, who art thou, O excellent one, that thus grievest for us all like a friend?
7864An instant after Drona asked him as in the case of others,"Seest thou, O Arjuna, the bird there, the tree, and myself?"
7864And Devayani asked in surprise,"Whose children are they, O king, who are so handsome and so like unto the children of the celestials?
7864And Devayani said,"O daughter of the Asura( chief), why dost thou take my attire, being, as thou art, my disciple?
7864And Jaratkaru, approaching the pitiable ones, himself in humble guise, asked them,''Who are ye hanging by this cord of virana roots?
7864And King Paushya, having returned Utanka''s salutations, said,''Sir, what shall I do for thee?''
7864And Ruru asked,''O thou best of snakes, for what wast thou cursed by a Brahmana in wrath?
7864And Ruru, the possessor of the six attributes, comforting the snake addressed it, saying,''Tell me fully, O snake, who art thou thus metamorphosed?''
7864And addressing Bhima he said,"Who is this fool, who desiring to go to the abode of Yama, eateth in my very sight the food intended for me?"
7864And beholding that man of grim visage, who was totally a stranger to them, they asked,"Who art thou and whose son?"
7864And having said this, he went with his disciples into the forest and began to shout, saying,''Ho Upamanyu, where art thou?''
7864And he asked himself,"What will the illustrious ascetic say, after he has known all?"
7864And he said,"How, O illustrious one, can one woman become the wife of many men without being defiled by sin?
7864And he said,"Who art thou, O fair one, of nails bright as burnished copper, and with ear- rings decked with celestial gems?
7864And his mother seeing him crying exceedingly asked him,''Why criest thou so?
7864And his preceptor seeing him in good condition of body asked him,''Upamanyu, my child, upon what dost thou support thyself?
7864And how long also will thy form continue so?''"
7864And looking at Krisa, and speaking softly, he asked him,''Pray, why doth my father bear today a dead snake?''
7864And not seeing the Rishi and finding that the abode was empty, he called loudly, saying,"What ho, who is here?"
7864And remembering the immense service done by him, who is there so ungrateful as to injure him?
7864And she asked herself,"Could the illustrious Vyasa himself( who had directed my sons to come to Panchala) have been guided by perverse intelligence?"
7864And she thought,''What should I now do?
7864And the Grandsire addressing him, that penance- practising one of great fortitude, said,''What is that thou doest, O Sesha?
7864And the Rishi in a rage asked her,''By whom wast thou made known to that Rakshasa who resolved to carry thee away?
7864And the entire assembly, motionless and with steadfast gaze, thought,"Who is he?"
7864And the great Rishi( Kasyapa) then asked him,''O child, is it well with thee?
7864And the illustrious monarch asked Dhristadyumna on his return,"Oh, where hath Krishna gone?
7864And the mighty god of wind, thus invoked, came unto her, riding upon a deer, and said,"What, O Kunti, am I to give thee?
7864And the prince of snakes then spake unto that bull among Munis, Kasyapa, saying,''Whither dost thou go with such speed?
7864And the queen of rivers beholding them in the predicament, asked them,"Why look ye so dejected?
7864And there were some that said,"What good is not done to us today when the heroic sons of Kunti come back to our town?
7864And those Brahmanas who were all Brahmacharis beholding the Pandavas, O king, asked them,"Where are ye going to?
7864And what the horse of extraordinary size likewise beheld by me?
7864And what with the third and what with the youngest?
7864And when Vyasa came out, he was met by his mother, who asked him,"Shall the princess have an accomplished son?"
7864And who is the third, and who the youngest?
7864And who was the Brahmana ascetic from whose curse the god had to be born in the Sudra caste?''
7864And whose daughter, O beautiful one?
7864And whose son also was that best of regenerate ones?"
7864And why art thou, low as thou art, in the guise of an ascetic?
7864And, O Brahmana, how and for whom and for what reason was the friendship between Drona and Drupada broken off?"''
7864And, O thou eater of the sacrificial butter, why dost thou act so foolishly, being, as thou art, the Lord of all?
7864Approaching Indra, the celestials said,"Why, O lord of immortals, doth Agni burn these creatures below?
7864Arrived here, where hath he gone?
7864Art thou going down into the Earth?"
7864Art thou not ashamed to speak them, especially before me?
7864Art thou that foremost of sky- ranging bodies-- the sun-- emerging from, dark masses of clouds?
7864As I am deprived of judgment what should I do that is consistent with duty?
7864At these words of her son, Satyavati said,"O thou of ascetic wealth, how can one that is blind become a monarch worthy of the Kurus?
7864Beholding their plight, Sakra became seized with grief and exclaimed,''Shall I be even like these?''
7864Being their daughter, why dost thou speak like a lewd woman?
7864Being, as I am, their mouth, how am I to be an eater of all things( clean and unclean)?''
7864Burnt with the strong flame of desire the king asked that charming maiden, still innocent, though in her full youth, saying,''Who art thou and whose?
7864But dost thou not know that this royal sage is held by me in greater esteem still?"''
7864But how is it that Usinara''s son, Sivi hath already left us behind?"
7864But knowest thou not that the Ancient, Omniscient one( Narayana) liveth in thy heart?
7864But shall this my son born after him become king?
7864But the next instant Drona again asked him,"What dost thou see now, O prince?
7864But thou hast not as yet said what the cause was of the escape of the Sarngakas?
7864But what can I do, for, ye sinful wretches, the virtuous king Yudhishthira, the eldest of the Pandavas, is not yet angry with you?"
7864But what must be the means?''
7864But who is Tapati that we should be called Tapatyas?"''
7864But, O Nandini, even Viswamitra is taking thee away by force, what can I do in this matter, as I am a forgiving Brahmana?''"
7864By what means dost thou contrive to live now?''
7864Can the great Bhimasena of strong arms possessing the might of ten thousand elephants, be vanquished in battle by the immortals themselves?
7864Can the heart of one that rangeth the woods be agitated by the god of desire?
7864Devayani then enquired,"O king, what hast thou come here for?
7864Dhananjaya, the son of Kunti, beholding that strange sight, asked that damsel with a pleased heart,"Who art thou, O beautiful one?
7864Didst thou not speak to Agni in my presence, in their behalf?
7864Disregarding thy words, why shall we not touch the sacred waters of the Bhagirathi free from all dangers and from which none can bar us?"''
7864Do men that repair to these regions of everlasting bliss ride in them?"
7864Do ye worship the Brahmanas?
7864Do you know any act by which I may cast into the blazing fire the snake Takshaka with his relatives?
7864Dost thou get sufficient food every day?
7864Dost thou not fear to have recourse once more to that Asura custom of thine?"
7864Dost thou not hear me?
7864Dost thou now desire to revive thy friendship( with me)?"
7864Dost thou want to have your youth?"
7864Dost thou, O Asura chief, think that I am a raving liar?
7864Doth a being that hath received a human form enter the womb in its own shape or in some other?
7864Doth he do so at thy command or of his own accord?"
7864Doth he shine like fire, or is he of tranquil mien?
7864Draupadi, from jealousy, spoke unto him, saying,"Why tarriest thou here, O son of Kunti?
7864Even ants support their own eggs without destroying them; then why shouldst not thou, a virtuous man that thou art, support thy own child?
7864For what cause, O foremost of those that flourished in the Krita age, hast thou been compelled to leave that region and come hither?"
7864Garuda then asked,''O mother, of what form is a Brahmana, of what behaviour, and of what prowess?
7864Garuda, after reflecting for a few moments, asked his mother Vinata, saying,''Why, mother, have I to do the bidding of the snakes?''
7864Has not Bhrigu appropriated her who was chosen by me as my wife?
7864Has not the illustrious deity promised to save them?
7864Hast thou also made them thy study?
7864Hast thou become so senseless, O Hidimva, that thou fearest not my wrath?
7864Hast thou been deprived of thy reason?
7864Hast thou seen it?''
7864Hath any Kshatriya of high birth, or any one of the superior order( Brahmana) obtained my daughter?
7864Hath any Sudra or anybody of mean descent, or hath a tribute- paying Vaisya by taking my daughter away, placed his dirty foot on my head?
7864Hath any one of mean descent, by having won Krishna, placed his left foot on my head?
7864Hath not that one sin been conquered by this my asceticism?
7864Hath the time come for the destruction of the world?"''
7864Hath thy understanding been clouded by the calamities thou hast undergone?"
7864Have I not performed those acts whose fruits are these regions?
7864Have you sent him anywhere?
7864Having already suffered so much, where now are we to go?
7864Having never done so before, how shall I now accept a gift?"
7864He is possessed of allies; how can we by force exile him from his ancestral kingdom?
7864He therefore asked her,"Who art thou?
7864Hearing that sound, the Rishi asked,''Who is it that followeth me?''
7864Hearing this, the king asked him,"Whose son art thou?"
7864His appetite unsatiated, shall I not follow him in the region of Yama to gratify him?
7864How also can one gradually attain to felicitous regions?
7864How also did Drupada''s son learn all weapons from the great bowman Drona?
7864How also did the extraordinary birth of Krishna take place from the centre of the sacrificial platform?
7864How am I to obtain the fruition of my wishes?
7864How and whence did he acquire his arms?
7864How and why came he unto the Kurus?
7864How can I act as not to offend him?
7864How can I, therefore, show my regard for her?''
7864How can a kingdom be protected that hath no king?
7864How can a woman like me even touch such a one full of ascetic virtues, like unto a blazing fire, and having his passions under complete control?
7864How can a woman like me gaze at him without alarm?
7864How can he( therefore) become king now?
7864How can one that is blind become the protector of his relatives and family, and the glory of his father''s race?
7864How can then this womb of mine afford room for two children at a time?
7864How canst thou be my waiting- maid?"
7864How dare ye approach me who am the brightest jewel on the diadem of Kuvera?"
7864How did Dhritarashtra also beget another son in a Vaisya wife?
7864How did Dhritarashtra behave towards his loving, obedient, and virtuous wife Gandhari?
7864How did he spring from a clump of heath?
7864How did he then forgetting the Rishi''s curse, approach thee with enkindled desire?
7864How did my father, blessed with many virtues, meet with his death?
7864How did that famous king, in time, meet with his death?
7864How did their wife Draupadi obey them all?
7864How do they again enter the womb, furnished with senses?"
7864How dost thou support thyself?''
7864How doth he also come back to life?
7864How doth it also acquire its distinct and visible shape, eyes and ears and consciousness as well?
7864How doth the youngest deserve the throne, passing all his elder brothers over?
7864How hast thou, O Parasara, being so superior, engaged thyself in such a sinful practice?
7864How hath he soon grown like a Sala sprout?
7864How is it also that no dissensions arose amongst those illustrious rulers of men, all attached to one wife, viz., Krishna?
7864How is it that thou spendest thy time like a child when there is another matter that urgently demandeth thy attention?''"
7864How is it that ye can not recover the ball( from the bottom of this well)?
7864How is it, therefore, that even thou, suffering thyself to be overpowered by passion and wrath losest thy reason?"
7864How is that Bhishma who suffers the exile of the Pandavas to that wretched place, sanctions this act of great injustice?
7864How may his mother''s curse prove abortive?"
7864How shall I be able to place this sole daughter of thy house-- this innocent girl-- in the way along which her ancestors have always walked?
7864How shall I be saved from untruth?"
7864How shall I myself be able to sacrifice my son a child of tender years and yet without the hirsute appendages( of manhood)?
7864How shall I therefore do it?"
7864How shall I, O Govinda, tamely bear it?
7864How shall these princesses ascend those heights of the king of mountains?
7864How shall we escape from these dangers unseen by others?
7864How shall, O chief of the celestials, a woman like me even touch him?
7864How then dost thou, at present, contrive to support thyself?''
7864How too can the eldest one of the Pandavas in whom patience, mercy, forgiveness, truth, and prowess always live together, be vanquished?
7864How was Garuda born in consequence of the ascetic penances of the Valakhilyas?
7864How will their mother be able to rescue them?
7864How, indeed, hast thou fallen into this well covered with creepers and long grass?
7864How, indeed, shall any other man touch my hand which had before been touched by thyself who art a Rishi?"
7864I am speaking unto thee woefully; why dost thou not reply to me?
7864I ask thee if there are any worlds for me to enjoy as fruits of my religious merits, in heaven or the firmament?
7864I ask thee, O king, are there any regions for myself to enjoy in heaven or in the firmament?
7864I would ask you, should children be begotten in my soil( upon my wives) as I myself was begotten in the soil of my father by the eminent Rishi?"
7864If it so happen, what then will be the state of the Bharata dynasty?
7864If the eldest himself faileth to rescue them, what can the younger ones do?"
7864If the renowned sons of Pandu obtain not the kingdom, how can it be thine, or that of any other descendant of the Bharata race?
7864If thou art the deity of these woods or an Apsara, tell me all regarding thyself and also why thou stayest here?"
7864If thou shouldst succeed, good fortune shall attend thee; if not, what good canst thou expect?''
7864If to accept them as gift be improper for thee, then, O monarch, buy them for a straw?"
7864If we are burnt to death, will our grandfather Bhishma be angry?
7864Illustrious one, how is that thou sayest Gandhari had a daughter over and above her hundred sons?
7864In the presence of so many, why dost thou treat me like an ordinary woman?
7864In this assemblage of monarchs like unto a conclave of the celestials, doth he not see a single monarch equal unto himself?
7864Is it by asceticism or by knowledge?
7864Is it to gather lotuses or to angle or to hunt?"
7864Is there any energy in Brahmanas who are peaceful and who have their souls under perfect command?
7864Is there any other Brahmana or Kshatriya who hath done what thou didst on earth?"
7864Is there food in plenty for thee in the world of men?''
7864Know ye not that I am bathing in the waters of the Bhagirathi?
7864Moreover, it behoveth thee not to grieve for that which must happen: for who can avert, by his wisdom, the decrees of fate?
7864Nandini answered,''Castest thou me away, O illustrious one, that thou sayest so?
7864O Brahmana, why hast thou not taken a wife?''
7864O Lord, what will happen when he doth rise?''
7864O best of Brahmanas, my virginity being sullied, how shall I, O Rishi, be able to return home?
7864O chastiser of enemies, have the fates been propitious unto us?
7864O excellent one, high- souled thou art; so why shall thou leave me who am faultless?
7864O excellent one, who art thou that thus sorrowest as a friend on our account?
7864O father, are there in the firmament or in heaven any worlds for me to enjoy?
7864O fortunate one, hast thou conceived from thy union with that best of Rishis?
7864O friend, was this an act of sin on the part of Vasishtha?
7864O handsome one, gifted with so much beauty and such virtues, whence hast thou come?
7864O king, who, unless cursed by the gods, would seek, to effect that by means of war which can be effected by conciliation?
7864O son, hath that wreath of flowers been thrown away on a grave- yard?
7864O thou best of Brahmanas, as we were desirous of heaven, of what use could wealth be to us?
7864O thou exalted one, tell me truly who hath won my daughter today?
7864O thou of sweet smiles, why dost thou wander alone in these solitary woods?
7864O thou of the fairest complexion, on what business hast thou come hither and whence hast thou come?
7864O thou whose wealth is asceticism, desirous of what wealth, goest thou thither?
7864O, are the sons of that foremost of Kurus, Vichitravirya''s son alive?
7864O, what hath happened, what should I do?
7864Of what sin is he not capable?
7864Oh why then didst thou yet like to live here?
7864Oh, how is Jaritari, my son, and how is Sarisrikka, and how is Stamvamitra, and how is Drona, and how also is their helpless mother?"
7864Oh, what can be more painful than this?
7864On hearing these words, Ekalavya was very much gratified, and said in reply,"O illustrious preceptor, what shall I give?
7864One day, Devavrata approaching his afflicted father said,"All is prosperity with thee; all chiefs obey thee; then how is it that thou grievest thus?
7864Otherwise why should not the Immutable Lord prevent our mother while uttering the curse?
7864Pray, what is that?
7864Reduced to nothing upon such dissolution, by what principle is one revived?"
7864SECTION CVII( Sambhava Parva continued)"Janamejaya said,''What did the god of justice do for which he was cursed?
7864SECTION XXXI( Astika Parva continued) Saunaka said,"O son of Suta, what was Indra''s fault, what his act of carelessness?
7864Saunaka said,"Was it, O Suta, that the mantras of those wise Brahmanas were not potent; since Takshaka did not fall into the fire?"
7864Saunaka said,"When did the revered Surya resolve at the time to burn the worlds?
7864Seeing them about to start, Pandu asked those ascetics, saying,"Ye first of eloquent men, where shall we go?"
7864Seen by them, how can I grant thy wish?"
7864Seest thou the tree, myself or thy brothers?"
7864Shall I choose him also for my husband whom Devayani hath chosen?
7864Shall I not resent it, even like a snake that is trodden upon?
7864Shall I wake my husband or not?
7864Shall we not be glad when our doubts have been removed?
7864She asked,"O thou of the splendour of a daughter of the celestials, whose art thou and who art thou?
7864Should I have peace or war with them?
7864Smiling, he asked,"O Kunti, what am I to give thee?"
7864Takshaka answered, saying,"Why dost thou seek to revive the king to be bitten by me?
7864Tell me, O amiable and beautiful one, where has the illustrious Rishi gone?"
7864The Asuras, beholding me, asked''Who art thou?''
7864The Pandavas said,"How, O Brahmana, did the birth of Dhrishtadyumna the son of Drupada, take place from the( sacrificial) fire?
7864The eldest son of Pritha, filled with fraternal love, going unto his mother, said, after making obeisance to her,"O mother, hath Bhima come?
7864The king addressing her, said,"Who art thou, and whose daughter?
7864The latter coming before her, asked,"What are thy commands?"
7864The latter, observing the Rishi sitting under the tree, questioned him, O king, saying,"O best of Brahmanas, which way have the thieves taken?
7864The moment after, she beheld Krishna and then she said,"Oh, what have I said?"
7864The wielder of the thunderbolt, beholding that wonderful sight, approached the woman and asked her,''Who art thou, amiable lady?
7864Then Arjuna said,"What need, O Bhima, for keeping the Rakshasa alive so long?
7864Then Rama, that oppressor of foes, spoke unto Vasudeva, saying,"Why, O Janardana, sittest thou, gazing silently?
7864Then Yudhishthira, addressing Bhima endued with great energy, said,"What can be more painful than this?
7864Then the gods, accompanied by the Rishis, wended to the Grandsire, and said unto him,''O what is this great heat today that causeth such panic?
7864Then wherefore wilt thou slay me in anger?''"
7864Then why dost thou reprove me?
7864Then, O Bharata, that tiger among men, Krishna, observing Partha contemplate her with absorbed attention, said with a smile,"How is this?
7864Then, Vasuki, learning all, was pleased with Bhima, and said to Aryaka with satisfaction,"How are we to please him?
7864Therefore, O Ashtaka, why should I grieve?
7864Therefore, O deer, why dost thou reprove me?"
7864Therefore, O thou of the fairest complexion, how hast thou been born as his daughter?
7864Therefore, why dost thou desire the continuance of our former friendship?"''
7864They were much pleased with Astika and asked him to solicit a boon, saying,''O learned one, what good shall we do unto thee?
7864This woman is the sister of that Rakshasa, what can she do to us even if she were angry?"''
7864Thou art my life, wealth, and lord; bereft of thee, how shall these children of tender years-- how also shall I myself, exist?
7864Thus addressed, the queen of rivers told them,"Be it so"and asked them,"On earth, who is that foremost of men whom ye will make your father?"
7864Thus benefited of old by Pandu, shall not, O child, the citizens slay us with all our friends and relatives now on account of Yudhishthira?"
7864To him his eldest son born of Devayani then said,"What needest thou, O king?
7864Unaccustomed to pain, shall they not droop in affliction?
7864Unfortunate that I am, what shall Vasuki say unto me?
7864Was it Partha( Arjuna) that took up the bow and shot the mark?"''"
7864Was she an Apsara( water nymph) or the daughter of any celestial?
7864What also can we do for thee?"
7864What also do you, my infant sons, think?
7864What also hath this child of thine, Gangadatta, done for which he shall have to live among men?
7864What can be more deplorable to us, her friends?
7864What can be more ridiculous in the world than that those that are themselves wicked should represent the really honest as wicked?
7864What can therefore be more amusing than that they both should give thee advice which is not for thy good?
7864What did they do after hearing of that curse?"
7864What dost thou do here, O timid one?"
7864What dost thou think, O son?''"
7864What dost thou think, sister?
7864What else can be said, O king, than that monarch''s sovereignty was dependent on destiny?
7864What good luck doth he not deserve who, after overcoming a foe by his might, giveth him life when that foe asketh for it?
7864What good shall I do to thee?''
7864What hast thou done, O best of men, in killing me who have given thee no offence?
7864What hath occasioned thy long absence?''
7864What is this that thou hast, O monarch, desired to do?
7864What man again is there on earth that would sell his offspring?
7864What man like me would go to gratify his lust, leaving his sleeping mother and brothers as food for a Rakshasa?"
7864What man of wisdom and virtue is there that can kill a deer while engaged in such an act?
7864What more wilt thou ask me?"
7864What need of altercation which is the exercise of the weak?
7864What other man is there in this world superior to thee?
7864What shall I do for thee?
7864What shall I do for you?
7864What shall I do?"
7864What shall I relate to you?"
7864What shall I say which would be for your good?
7864What should we do, therefore, but bestow her on Samvarana?''
7864What too doth that import?
7864What transgression can be imputed to me who was labouring to do justice and speak the truth impartially?
7864What was the cause of the disunion amongst them that was fruitful of such extraordinary deeds?
7864What were also the periods of life allotted to each?
7864What would he have lost if the king had revived by the grace of Kasyapa and the precautionary measures of his ministers?
7864What wrong was done to him by the gods that provoked his ire?"
7864What( act) should I do now that is consistent with duty?
7864What, O Karna, dost thou think?"''"
7864What, besides, is the business upon which thou art intent?''
7864What, indeed, am I to do?
7864What, revered Sirs, do ye wish to hear now?
7864When others desirous of acquiring religious merits do not accept gifts, how can I do what they themselves do not?"
7864When the maiden of handsome face had so sat upon his lap, the monarch said unto her,"O amiable one, what dost thou desire?
7864When these will remain quiet, how shall the illustrious son of Madri do anything?
7864Whence also are ye come?"
7864Whence also did he obtain his weapons?''
7864Whence arose that dissension amongst them, and why did they slay each other?
7864Whence dost thou come and where dost thou go?
7864Where art thou?
7864Where doth man then reside?
7864Where has he gone?
7864Where is that foremost of great Rishis, where also is that Apsara Menaka?
7864Where is that manliness of thine, those high words of thine begotten of pride, when thou must have to behold thy father bearing a dead snake?
7864Where may he have gone?
7864Wherefore hath he been beaten?''
7864Wherefore reprovest us then?
7864Who also became the Sadasyas in that terrible snake- sacrifice, so frightful to the snakes, and begetting such sorrow in them?
7864Who also can encounter Duryodhana in battle except Krishna, the son of Devaki, and Kripa, the son of Saradwan?
7864Who also is he?
7864Who also that desireth to live can overcome in battle the twins( Nakula and Sahadeva) like unto the sons of Yama himself, and well- skilled in fight?
7864Who also would approve of accepting a bride in gift as if she were an animal?
7864Who also, O sinless one, is this lady of transcendent beauty sleeping so trustfully in these woods as if she were lying in her own chamber?
7864Who amongst monarchs in prosperity or adversity would not like to have Drupada with his relatives as an ally?"''
7864Who are we to thee?
7864Who art thou and whose?
7864Who art thou, O wicked woman in ascetic guise?
7864Who can encounter Karna, the son of Radha, in fight, except Rama or Drona, or Kiriti, the son of Pandu?
7864Who else among men than the Pandavas could exhibit such might?
7864Who except Airavata would desire to move in the burning rays of the Sun?
7864Who hath beaten thee?''
7864Who hath taken her away?
7864Who is also the man that I saw?
7864Who is there that will not be charmed with such an account, as it is sacred?
7864Who is your father?
7864Who shall be equal to him?
7864Who shall believe in thy words?
7864Who, besides, are these persons of celestial beauty sleeping here?
7864Whom amongst my sons, shall I leave behind, and whom shall I carry with me?
7864Whom shall I take with me?
7864Whose daughter also was this Tilottama for whose love the maddened brothers killed each other?
7864Whose is this beautiful region, who art thou and whose daughter?"
7864Whose messenger art thou?
7864Whose son also was endued with such energy?
7864Whose son was that monarch who celebrated the snake- sacrifice?
7864Why also Kasyapa-- a Brahman-- had the king of birds for a son?
7864Why also did that illustrious and great Rishi Vasishtha himself who was acquainted with every rule of morality know a woman he should not have known?
7864Why also didst thou commit such a dreadful sin?"
7864Why also dost thou stay here?
7864Why also was that ranger of the skies capable of going into every place at will and of mustering at will any measure of energy?
7864Why also were the Vasus, the lords of the three worlds, condemned to be born amongst men?
7864Why also, O best of Brahmanas, did Bhima of mighty arms and of the strength of ten thousand elephants, control his anger, though wronged?
7864Why are they not reduced to annihilation?
7864Why didst thou tempt him into solitude?
7864Why dost thou desire the continuance of our former friendship?
7864Why dost thou kill thy own children?
7864Why dost thou then desire to bar us from it?
7864Why dost thou weep in affliction?
7864Why dost thou weep?
7864Why dost thou, O mother, wish to sacrifice thy own child for the sake of another''s?
7864Why dost thou, therefore, desire the revival of our former friendship?
7864Why dost thou, therefore, desire( to revive our) former friendship?''"
7864Why dost thou, therefore, strive to protect us at so much cost to thyself?
7864Why hast thou been a ranger of the waters?
7864Why hast thou come into the woods also?
7864Why should I not also be anxious?
7864Why should he, O king, speak a falsehood on such a serious occasion?
7864Why should, therefore, these tigers among men, who are ever truthful, give thee wicked advice, especially when thou hast never injured them?
7864Why then hast thou rashly done this unrighteous action through childishness?
7864Why then is there a pupil of thine, the mighty son of the Nishada king, superior to me?"''
7864Why will he, by showing his wrath, make the Kauravas angry with him?
7864Why, O prince, hath thy understanding become so?"
7864Why, too, was he invincible of all creatures and unslayable of all?
7864Widowed and masterless, with two children depending on me, how shall I, without thee, keep alive the pair, myself leading an honest life?
7864Will he not, therefore, certainly destroy us by adopting adequate means?
7864Will not sin touch me on that account?
7864Will not the virtuous one grant me a private interview?"''
7864Will she abandon them now that they are in prosperity?
7864Wilt thou consume us?
7864Wilt thou not treat me so, because I have come hither of my own accord?
7864Wouldst thou stand in the way of their full meals by acting as thou hast done?
7864Ye are not, I hope, backward in paying homage unto those that deserve your homage?"
7864Ye dwellers in heaven, is everything right with you?"
7166A sister?
7166About the fever fit of poesy?
7166And Amulya Babu?
7166And his fine?
7166And may we venture to ask, further, what your share of the privation has been?
7166And who may''she''be?
7166And why, pray? 7166 And, brother,"she went on,"did I not warn you, it was not well to keep so much money in your room?
7166Any trace of the dacoits?
7166Are there not more precious things in life?
7166Are these jewels so very precious? 7166 Are they not our kings?
7166Are we to understand, Maharaja,said my visitors,"that the prosperity of the country does not interest you?"
7166Are you come to advise flight?
7166Are you counting your spoils inside?
7166At any rate,interposed Sandip Babu,"why should we not follow suit?
7166Bimala,said I,"why should I seek to keep you fast in this closed cage of mine?
7166Bless my soul, Chota Rani,she exclaimed,"what has come upon you?
7166But are you going out on any particular business?
7166But are you not aware, sir, of what is behind all this?
7166But have you had your dinner yet?
7166But how am Ito get it?
7166But how can that be? 7166 But how can you get through all this alone?"
7166But how does all this apply to our work for the country?
7166But how much?
7166But what if afterwards I am held responsible?
7166But what of Panchu?
7166But why all this excitement?
7166But why, then, did you try to return the money?
7166But, Inspector,I said,"why are you badgering a respectable young gentleman like Amulya Babu?"
7166Can man ever give as woman can?
7166Can one ever finish a subject with words?
7166Can you not get it out of the treasury?
7166Could you not get his boat sunk?
7166Did you not promise me you would have a sleep?
7166Do n''t you know that the dear old man has got a wife and children and that he is..."Where are we to find men who have no wives and children?
7166Do we not see before our very eyes how things, of which we never even dreamt of sowing the seed, are sprouting up on every side? 7166 Do you know, Sister Rani,"said Amulya,"I have had a quarrel with Sandip Babu over that six thousand rupees he took from you?
7166Do you not know that I come to worship? 7166 Do you not see what pleasure it gives him?
7166Do you really suppose I spend sleepless nights for fear of being robbed by you?
7166Do you think I am not going with you?
7166Does it not rather show,interposed a Master of Arts,"that trading in slavery is inherent in man-- a fundamental fact of his nature?"
7166Does she not know that there are losses which no security can make good, either in this world or in the next?
7166For fear of the Mussulmans, or is there any other fear you have to threaten me with?
7166For what fault?
7166Forcibly?
7166Go? 7166 Gone where?"
7166Has not Amulya gone, then?
7166Has not the pressure of society cramped them into pettiness and crookedness? 7166 Have you been there all these days?"
7166Have you brought Kasim here?
7166Have you taken that jewel- box from my trunk?
7166Have you then really no such thing as fear?
7166Have you yet wasted so much as a glance on what was happening to them? 7166 He said he had orders...""Whose orders?"
7166His burnt bale of cloth?
7166How am I to get it?
7166How am I to know?
7166How can the__ zamindar__ realize that if he becomes my tenant?
7166How could you let him go?
7166How is it, sir, you have not yet retired?
7166How will you do it?
7166If I could read the book, why not Bimala too? 7166 Indeed?
7166Is anything wanting, then, in the love we have here at home?
7166Is not his money yours as well?
7166Is not such coercion of the individual will seen in other countries too?
7166Is not the market yours?
7166Is that all?
7166Is the Maharaja a thief, or a robber,the Bara Rani flared up,"that he should be set upon so by the police?
7166Is the thing which happens the only truth?
7166Is there a greater force than greed? 7166 Is there any country, sir,"pursued the history student,"where submission to Government is not due to fear?"
7166Is there any example of this in history?
7166Is there no one else for whom I could be making them?
7166Kasim? 7166 Money?
7166Must it be tomorrow?
7166My wife--Does that amount to an argument, much less the truth?
7166Not had your dinner yet? 7166 Oh dear,"she exclaimed,"has it come to this that you must make cakes for your own birthday?"
7166Oh, our artless little Chota Rani!--straight as a schoolmaster''s rod, eh? 7166 On whom?"
7166Queen,he asked,"can you give me another?"
7166So Amulya and I are separate in your eyes? 7166 So exit Sandip for the second time, I suppose?"
7166So the money is wanted for the use of your patriots?
7166So you think Amulya will not tell me?
7166So you trust Amulya more than you trust me? 7166 So you want to make trouble to prevent trouble?"
7166Tell me truly, Amulya, swear by me, where did you get this money?
7166That may hardly be possible, but why?
7166The Bara Rani?
7166The special- talk business not yet over?
7166To Calcutta?
7166Well, even if the drawback is only on my side, why should n''t you help to remove it?
7166Well, what do you say?
7166What I want to say is this: Why not try to build up something? 7166 What can you do there?"
7166What do I care for my jewels?
7166What do we want with so much, Sandip Babu?
7166What do you mean,I exclaimed,"by being a witness on this or that side?
7166What do you mean?
7166What do you specially like, Amulya?
7166What do you think, doctor?
7166What do you want with it, sister?
7166What do you want with that seat?
7166What does this mean?
7166What happened to the cloth?
7166What harm if you did have a wholesome fear of me? 7166 What harm?"
7166What harm?
7166What has happened to your key?
7166What has your book to do with__ Swadeshi__?
7166What if they get in there? 7166 What is all this for?"
7166What is fifty thousand?
7166What is it then that you do want?
7166What is it you wanted to tell me, Sandip Babu?
7166What is that?
7166What is the matter?
7166What is the matter?
7166What is the use of being angry with me?
7166What is the use of so much?
7166What is there so entertaining about it?
7166What is this about both of you going off to Calcutta tomorrow? 7166 What is this matter,"I asked,"you are wanting to tell me about?"
7166What is to be done?
7166What mad idea is this of yours?
7166What made you do all this, Amulya?
7166What makes you realize that all of a sudden?
7166What makes you suppose that artists need no teachers?
7166What of that? 7166 What other truths can there be?"
7166What terrible thing have you done, Amulya?
7166What''s the news, Jata?
7166What, then, is your plan?
7166What, then, would be the right thing to do?
7166Whatever are you doing, brother dear?
7166Whatever shall we do?
7166When do you want it then?
7166Where from?
7166Where have you kept it, then?
7166Where is the money to come from?
7166Where is the noose with which you can catch me?
7166Where on earth do you see all that?
7166Where was it found?
7166Where was the time for him to marry again?
7166Where, then, is this wonderful soul?
7166Whither away, Chota Rani?
7166Who am I, that I should dare do such a thing? 7166 Who denies it?"
7166Who did you say had sent for me?
7166Who else was there?
7166Who gave you the order?
7166Who is it, then?
7166Who is there?
7166Who wants fruit?
7166Why allow such trifles to upset you?
7166Why be so clumsy as to leave any loophole for responsibility? 7166 Why burn them?"
7166Why did you not send me word when Brother Nikhil came in?
7166Why has your Thako been calling poor Khema names?
7166Why is it possible,I asked,"to use the Mussulmans thus, as tools against us?
7166Why need you hear it? 7166 Why not say plainly that you will not risk your money?"
7166Why not take it out and send it to the treasury while you have it in mind?
7166Why not?
7166Why should they loot our house?
7166Why, Sister Rani?
7166Why, did you want him for anything?
7166Why, then, are you troubling to destroy the illusion?
7166Why, what harm can come to you?
7166Why, what is the matter?
7166Will you not tell him not to go?
7166Will you then be the only one, Maharaja, to put obstacles in the way of what the country would achieve?
7166Wo n''t you bear witness to the burning of this man''s cloth?
7166Would you thwart me in my resolve?
7166You here?
7166You think you will gain the mastery over me?
7166You want to know, do you?
7166You want to teach me a lesson by trusting me? 7166 You, Amulya?"
7166Your jewel- box?
7166A matinà © e, eh?"
7166A sorry exchange, I suppose you would call it?"
7166After a long pause she said:"But how am Ito get his money?"
7166After that?
7166All of a sudden Sandip Babu turned to me with the question:"What do__ you__ say to this?"
7166Am I a drifting log to be caught up at any and every obstacle?
7166Am I a man, that you should hoodwink me?"
7166Am I made of words?
7166Am I merely a book with a covering of flesh and blood?
7166Am I taking them?
7166Amulya turned to go, but before he was out of sight I called him back and asked:"Have you a mother, Amulya?"
7166And Bee?
7166And Bimala?
7166And I, a woman-- of his mother''s sex-- how could I hand him poison, just because he asked for it?
7166And how can I have the power to refuse to take the money?
7166And then also, what is this getting?
7166And then?
7166And what of the day when we should have to come back here?
7166Another day my master came to me and said:"Why do n''t you two go up to Darjeeling for a change?
7166Anyhow, why trouble to blush for me, since I am shameless?"
7166Anyway, why lose time in trying your magic weapons?"
7166Are men like women?
7166Are you not mine?"
7166As I was coming away, he exclaimed:"May I trouble you for a trifle?"
7166As for Khema, where are the hussy''s manners to go and disturb you when you are engaged?
7166As my husband entered the room, Sandip exclaimed:"I say, Nikhil, do n''t you keep Browning among your books here?
7166As we entered the room Sandip asked:"What was that box Amulya carried away?"
7166Ashamed?
7166At first I felt scruples; for is it not the habit of man''s mind to be in purposeless conflict with itself?
7166Bee frowned a little as she murmured:"What makes you wish that?"
7166Bee was silent for a while and then gravely said:"Is it not a part of human nature to try and rise superior to itself?"
7166Bimala was still flushed, her eyes clouded, her accents thick, as she replied:"You poor?
7166Bimala''s Story XIV Who could have thought that so much would happen in this one life?
7166But after this how was Ito go on living all by myself?
7166But can even Nature''s nursing heal the open wound, into which our accumulated differences have broken out?
7166But can freedom-- empty freedom-- be given and taken so easily as all that?
7166But can one carry on a quarrel with a storm?
7166But do you not see one thing: how these political bags of theirs are bursting with lies and treacheries, breaking their backs under their weight?"
7166But for what?
7166But he cried,''What infatuation is this of yours?
7166But how am Ito bear this terrible mercy of my God?
7166But how can I offer those which have been stolen away from me?"
7166But how can you elude my watchfulness?
7166But how on earth am I to mention money after the high flight we have just taken?
7166But how to get that fifty thousand rupees out of the clutches of those iron bars?
7166But is strength mere display of muscularity?
7166But suppose they do not?"
7166But tell us, pray, finally, are you determined not to oust foreign articles from your market?"
7166But theft is never worship-- how then can I offer this gold?
7166But then what is this force?
7166But there was none to gainsay her-- for was not this the custom of the house?
7166But was he not wounded?"
7166But was not also this very thing I had done a robbing of the whole world-- not only of money, but of trust, of righteousness?
7166But what has since been its actual story?
7166But what is the use of it all?
7166But what was it that happened?
7166But where am I, and what am I about, letting day after day of golden opportunity slip by?
7166But where was the unity in this heap of barren ashes?
7166But where were cheap Indian woollens to be had?
7166But why all these arguments?
7166But why are we arguing about these things?
7166But why be frightened even of that?
7166But why did not my husband compel me to go with him to Calcutta?
7166But why return?
7166But why should he have left the rest of the money lying about?"
7166But why should the Inspector alone be regaled with cakes?
7166But why this bonfire business?"
7166But, I ask you, where do you find this''answering''in history?"
7166By what power?
7166Ca n''t you humour them?
7166Ca n''t you recognize that there is such a thing as feeling?"
7166Can I ever forget it?
7166Can I not be born over again?
7166Can force prevail against Truth?
7166Can it be that all this multitude is quieted with only a lie?
7166Can not you get over the barrier of her name after such a long acquaintance?
7166Can not you realize that she loves you?"
7166Can one imprison a whole personality within that name?
7166Can there be any real happiness for a woman in merely feeling that she has power over a man?
7166Can you not do it, dear?"
7166Could I have given her too rude a shock, leaving her assailed with doubts and wanting to learn her lesson afresh from the schoolmaster?
7166Could I not be allowed to suffer alone without inviting all this multitude to share my punishment?
7166Could I not go back to the beginning?
7166Could it be that his outstretched hands had really been directed towards my feet?
7166Could it be that my husband had missed the key of the safe, and the Bara Rani had assembled all the servants to help him to hunt for it?
7166Could they have been discussing my deed in their meeting place?
7166Did I not learn that from Sandip himself, and was I not able in the light of this knowledge to despise all else in my world?
7166Did he wish to make up now for neglecting me so long?
7166Do I not know how well he loves me?
7166Do I not know that thus you can not but pine and droop?"
7166Do I not see that none shall stand in the way of your desires?
7166Do I really desire emancipation?
7166Do they want to tell me now that all this was false?
7166Do you get them up by heart, beforehand?"
7166Do you know that the boy is the shadow of my shadow, the echo of my echo-- that he is nothing if I am not at his side?"
7166Do you know that your weakness is weakening your neighbouring__ zamindars__ also?"
7166Do you know, sister, he has not spent a pice out of those sovereigns he took from you?
7166Do you know, we always insist on Sandip Babu travelling First Class?
7166Do you mean you are never coming back home?"
7166Do you not know that in the immense cauldrons, where vast political developments are simmering, untruths are the main ingredients?"
7166Do you not think so?"
7166Do you remember old Dakshina?
7166Do you remember that contest of ours over the translation of those lines from Browning?
7166Do you remember this comb?
7166Do you say I shall be uttering lies?
7166Do you take me for one of your retinue?"
7166Does anybody know anybody else in this world?"
7166Each has been suited to his taste, so why complain?
7166Five thousand is it?
7166For you see, do you not, that I can not stand by and see his motherless little ones sent out into the streets?''
7166For, who is the bridegroom?
7166From Sandip''s dry throat there came a muffled cry:"Whither would you flee, Queen?"
7166God can create new things, but has even He the power to create afresh that which has been destroyed?
7166Had I called him?
7166Had I ever wanted this-- had I ever been waiting or hoping for any such thing?
7166Had I not risen, all in one moment, from my nothingness to a height above everything?
7166Had I then misunderstood him?
7166Had any vestige of a veil of decency been left for me?
7166Had he then come like a streak of light from the setting sun, only to be gone for ever?
7166Had not so tremendous a man as Sandip fallen helplessly at my feet, like a wave of the mighty sea breaking on the shore?
7166Had the Creator created me afresh, I wondered?
7166Have I not often twitted Nikhil that they who walk in the paths of restraint have never known what sacrifice is?
7166Have I not seen how my presence pours fresh life into him time after time?
7166Have I not told you that, in you, I visualize the__ Shakti__ of our country?
7166Have you also a book?"
7166Have you been getting enough sleep?"
7166Have you not heard of the Pachur case?"
7166Have you not read history?
7166Have you sent off that money you gave me to the Calcutta bank?"
7166He feels the danger threatening his home, and yet why does he not turn me out?
7166His eldest boy and girl nestled up to him, crying:"Where have you been all this time, father?"
7166How can I tell how much he has deprived me of?
7166How could I fail to see the hand of Providence in this?
7166How could she again admit defeat?
7166How could we help thinking that it was all supernatural?
7166How dare they be so insolent?
7166How else could she be happy?
7166How little can you deprive me of, my love, after all?
7166How long should they keep you cool with the wet towel of moral precepts?"
7166How many years, how many ages, aeons, must pass before I can find my way back to that day of nine years ago?
7166How much money?"
7166How on earth did I manage to let my good fortune escape me, and spoil my life so?
7166How then could I burst on him with this stupendous news?
7166How then did you bring yourself to offer them to the Goddess?
7166How was he to be saved?
7166However did he manage to get through his meal so soon?"
7166However, I must shut my eyes to that for the present, for is he not shouting__ Bande Mataram__ as lustily as I am?
7166I am doomed to death myself, must I desecrate my country with my impious touch?
7166I asked them:"Who is there among you that can cut off a leg of that goat, alive, with this knife, and bring it to me?"
7166I could not keep from joining in:"You think this excitement is only a fire of drunkenness, but does not drunkenness, up to a point, give strength?"
7166I felt somewhat foolish as I asked him:"And where have you been all this while, sir?"
7166I must confess there was something in me which... what shall I say?
7166I must not allow the pressure of too much greed to flatten out the reed, for then, as I fear, music will give place to the questions"Why?"
7166I say, Robber Queen,"she called out to me,"are you taking stock of your loot?"
7166I should not try to fetter my life''s companion with my ideas, but play the joyous pipes of my love and say:"Do you love me?
7166I strained his feet to my bosom-- oh, why could not their impress remain there for ever?
7166I threw myself down and sobbed:"What is the end of all this, what is the end?"
7166I took up the spirit of his remark as I dropped my voice to reply:"Why even then should we not meet?"
7166I was silent for a while and then asked again:"Could he not possibly stay a day longer?"
7166I went up to him and placing my hand on his head asked him:"What is your trouble, Amulya?"
7166I would get angry and say:"If you feel generous, make gifts by all means, but why allow yourself to be robbed?"
7166If Bimal should say she is not mine, what care I where my Society wife may be?
7166If I pity her and save her from her sorrows, what then was the purpose of my being born a man?
7166If she says:"No, I am myself"--am I to reply:"How can that be?
7166If the Dark which sounded the flute should lead to destruction, why trouble about the hereafter?
7166If they go to law, we must retaliate by burning down their granaries!--What startles you, Amulya?
7166If we must lose our all, let us lose it: what is it worth after all?
7166If we took them as true, even for a moment, where would be our appetite, our sleep?
7166If, like a toy paper- boat, she be swept along into the muddy waters of the gutter-- would I not also...?
7166In the midst of the immense, age- long concourse of humanity, what is Bimal to you?
7166In the springtime of your kingdom, my Queen, My meeting with you had its own songs, But has not also my leave- taking any gift to offer you?
7166Is friendship by itself a crime?
7166Is it not because we have fashioned them into such with our own intolerance?
7166Is it quite settled about your going tomorrow?"
7166Is it right that ours should be the only market in all Bengal which allows foreign goods?"
7166Is it the fate of the estate that is worrying you?
7166Is it then your command that this money be replaced?"
7166Is not all that each one has yours?
7166Is not that best, Queen?"
7166Is the heart''s worship to be shut out like a stray cur?"
7166Is this power of yours to be kept veiled in a zenana?
7166It is like setting a fish free in the sky-- for how can I move or live outside the atmosphere of loving care which has always sustained me?
7166It is not too late?
7166It was Buddha who conquered the world, not Alexander-- this is untrue when stated in dry prose-- oh when shall we be able to sing it?
7166It was one of the__ Swadeshi__ combs you brought for me...""But what is all this for, Sister Rani?
7166Jealous of whom, pray?"
7166Must strength have no scruples in treading the weak underfoot?
7166Must this continue to the end of my days?
7166My master came to me that day and said:"Is it necessary to detain Sandip here any longer?"
7166My portrait now reposes next to Nikhil''s, for are not the two of us old friends?
7166Now it looks as if it were time for him to quit... O you little demon, do your glances never fall, by chance, on his agonized face?"
7166Now that I know it concerns only me, what after all can be its value?
7166O God, why need my expiation have such pomp and circumstance?
7166Of what value are that orchid and that niche in my bedroom?
7166Oh why has God made man such a mixed creature?
7166Oh, why am I not dead?
7166Oh, why does this outer world insult the heart so?
7166On what perilous adventure had I sent this only son of his mother?
7166Once she comes panting to say:"Oh, brother, have you heard?
7166One day, he happened to awake, and smiled as he asked me:"What is that, Bimala?
7166Only five thousand rupees?
7166Or would he simply take me to be an ordinary, domestic woman?
7166Panchu was not excessively pleased-- was there then no such thing as charity on earth?
7166Sandip again affected surprise as he said:"Must there always be some matter?
7166Sandip''s Story IV When I read these pages of the story of my life I seriously question myself: Is this Sandip?
7166Shall I ever recover, as from a delirium, and forget it all; or am I to be dragged to depths from which there can be no escape in this life?
7166Shall I tell the whole truth?
7166She sat by my bed after I was stretched on it, and smiled at Bimal as she said:"Give me one of your pans, Chotie darling-- what?
7166She would scold me, saying:"Why are you all plaguing him so?
7166Should I then get back my seat at the head?
7166So then these jewels are mine?"
7166Supposing I buy it up and then keep him on as my tenant?"
7166Tell me what about yourself?"
7166That was only natural, for had I not stepped into my good fortune by a mere chance, and without deserving it?
7166The Bara Rani came and asked me:"What is the meaning, brother, of all these books being packed up and sent off in box- loads?"
7166The method?
7166The money has been held up because the country wants it-- who could have the power to take it away from her to the bank?
7166The morning light, like the love of the blue sky, is lavished upon the earth... Why can not I sing?
7166Then as I looked about me, where was it-- the tree of plenty?
7166Then whom shall I blame?
7166There is at present no room in her mind for the question"why?"
7166There must be great excitement in the Police Office-- whose are the jewels?--where did he get them?
7166They were sarcastic:"Why, Maharaja, will the loss be too much for you?"
7166This morning I am...""Waiting for Amulya?"
7166To whom could he be going to return that money?
7166To whom was I to explain that the Rani herself had been weaving all this network of trouble, and had got caught in it, too?
7166Truth?
7166Under what bush?
7166Was I making any difference between yours and mine?
7166Was I not awaiting my fate?
7166Was I not removed from the plane in which right and wrong, and the feelings of others, have to be considered?
7166Was I the god of her worship that I should have any qualms?
7166Was it because of the husband''s pride of possession over his wife?
7166Was it only to show his supernatural sleight of hand?
7166Was not I good for something more than only five thousand rupees?
7166Was not this our House, which she had kept under her sheltering care through all her trials and troubles?
7166Was the credit due to me that my husband did not touch liquor, nor squander his manhood in the markets of woman''s flesh?
7166Was this, then, my truer self?
7166Were not men naturally inclined to plunge downwards?
7166What about the gang of armed men?..."
7166What about the urgent immediate?
7166What am I to them but a meadow flower in the path of a torrent in flood?
7166What are my caskets full of jewellery for?
7166What can they do to you?"
7166What charm did I know to soothe the wild and wandering mind of men?
7166What could have possessed me, I angrily wondered, to appear before him in such an absurd way?
7166What do I care what people may think of me?
7166What does it matter?
7166What else had she with which to express her loving worship?
7166What favour could she be wanting to beg, seated like this at my door?
7166What good will this extinction of me be to Sandip?
7166What harm if I confess that I have something lacking in me?
7166What has been my sin that I should be scourged so, bound hand and foot?"
7166What has happened?
7166What have I to do with the mirror, or even the image?
7166What if I am unworthy?
7166What if business is a bit neglected?
7166What if he was fearless?
7166What if the wound does eventually heal?--can the devastation it has wrought ever be made good?
7166What if your money is lost, does not that hurt me?
7166What if, on pulling out the inside drawer, I should find the rolls of gold there, just as before?
7166What incense of worship, what music of passion, what flowers of my spring and of my autumn, have I not offered up at its shrine?
7166What is a wife?
7166What is it?
7166What is that answer to be?
7166What is the use of straining to keep up my pride?
7166What is there left of you that I do not know to the very bottom?
7166What must the messenger have thought?
7166What need had Ito volunteer an explanation?
7166What other province of India has succeeded in giving such wonderful visual expression to the ideal of its quest?
7166What pleasure can that be to me?"
7166What power have they to belittle me, to put me to shame?
7166What responsibility have they of their own?"
7166What rigour of penance is there which can serve to bring me once more, as a bride adorned for her husband, to my place upon that same bridal seat?
7166What should I do in the dust of Calcutta, away from it?
7166What stood in the way?
7166What was the use of arguing?
7166What was this?
7166What was to be done next?
7166What will you do with him now?
7166What__ are__ you doing?"
7166Whatever did you spend all that money on?"
7166When I came out my sister- in- law railed at me:"How many times are you going to dress today?"
7166When do we start?"
7166When she saw me passing in the distance she cried:"Have you heard the news, Chota Rani?"
7166When was the ceremony to be held and where?
7166When will come the time, I wondered, for the purification of the Brahmins themselves who can accept such offerings?
7166When will you be going there?"
7166Whence came foaming into me this surging flood of glory?
7166Where is its solidity?
7166Where was that former self of mine?
7166Where was the place?
7166Where will it all end, I asked myself?
7166Where?"
7166Who am I, what am I, in its presence?
7166Who can hide your fire under your home- roof?
7166Who could bear my company day and night without a break?
7166Who could have believed that they would attack our treasury, either?"
7166Who could it be?
7166Who else could have come into this room?
7166Who is there that can stay your progress?
7166Who says that the gods do not show themselves to mortal men?
7166Who says"Truth shall Triumph"?
7166Who was I to stop her?
7166Who will eat them?
7166Who?
7166Whose is the money?
7166Why am I allowing my life to become entangled with Bimala''s?
7166Why are they all so angry with you?
7166Why can not the stricken one be kept far away from the rest of the world?
7166Why did I fail to think of this?
7166Why do not men change wholly when they change?
7166Why does not my voice find a word, some audible cry, which would be like a sacred spell to my country for its fire initiation?
7166Why have you been packing up all these things?"
7166Why need I bother about their plight?
7166Why not stand out aloof in the highway of the universe, and feel yourself to be part of the all?
7166Why put everybody out?"
7166Why should not its glory flash from my forehead with visible brilliance?
7166Why should there be only one?
7166Why should they put up with such tyranny, and why should we let them?"
7166Why should we suppose that they will do so just because we have become frantic?"
7166Why this sudden reverence?"
7166Why"muddy"?
7166Why, then, trouble to preach patriotism?"
7166Why?
7166Why?
7166Why?"
7166Why?"
7166Will all the wounds of my home life then be still as fresh as ever?
7166Will you give him the coup de grâce, or keep him in your cage?
7166Will you not bear witness to the truth?"
7166Will you not take a seat?"
7166With this he looked up at Bimala and asked:"Do you not think so too?"
7166With which he... but why, oh why, do I go back to all that?
7166Would I not rather lay down my life to help it?"
7166Would Sandip Babu find the__ Shakti__ of the Motherland manifest in me?
7166Would my shoulders, I wondered, be broad enough to stand its shock, or would it not leave me overthrown, with my face in the dust?
7166Would not a curse come upon me if I deserted it and went off to town?
7166Would you now take it back?"
7166Wounds must be bandaged-- can we not bandage our wound with our love, so that the day may come when its scar will no longer be visible?
7166XIII What is this?
7166XVI"The money, Queen?"
7166You are burning in every vein with life- fire-- do I not know it?
7166You are rich; why not buy it up and burn it?"
7166You do n''t?
7166You have three shelves in your sitting- room full of..."Sandip Babu broke in:"Do you know what they are?
7166You want it tomorrow?
7166Your wife?
7166[ 25]"Well, Junior Rani, are you turned into a wooden doll?
7166[ 30] Could this be my Bimal of old, my proud, sensitive Bimal?
7166[ 6] One day I said to him:"What do I want with the outside world?"
7166__"Whatever do you mean, Amulya?"
7166had I not said"Why not?"
7166into what fresh entanglement was the poor boy rushing?
7166student smiled a crooked smile, as he asked:"May we enquire what you are actually doing to help?"
7166to Sandip just in the same way?
17455About what?
17455After that did the Brahman dismiss her?
17455After that what happened?
17455Am I wearing any gold ornaments that I should be the lady of the Babu''s house?
17455And are you happy?
17455But why should it be?
17455But,replied Srish,"can you stop the marriage?"
17455Can I go alone?
17455Could any one show me the house of Haro Mani_ Boisnavi_, of this village?
17455Did he tell you anything of Surja Mukhi?
17455Did you find Surja Mukhi? 17455 Did you not meet the_ Brahmachari_?"
17455Do n''t you remember the schoolmaster''s marriage to a goddess? 17455 Do you ask what do I want with the girl?
17455Do you not know?
17455Do you think I can go alone?
17455Does any one know when he will return?
17455Does no one else love you?
17455Does not my brother love you?
17455Has not the Babu told you?
17455Have you ever seen your mother- in- law?
17455Have you heard of this so soon?
17455Have you not gone far enough in vice? 17455 How is that, Ma?
17455How long is it since he left?
17455I have scorched myself, why do I not die?
17455In picking up a little girl, have you forgotten me? 17455 Is a bare''no''all you can say?
17455Is he ill? 17455 Is this woman''s nature?"
17455Is your liver out of order?
17455It can not be; why do I think of that? 17455 Kunda, why do you weep?
17455May I see the letter?
17455Need you ask?
17455No; what is the matter?
17455Oh, Satu Babu, can you tell me why men go to office?
17455She did not take a farthing from home; how did she live?
17455Since I love you and you love me, shall we not go together?
17455Some days fasting, some days begging-- are you mad?
17455Speak, brother,said Debendra;"why are you angry to- day?
17455That I know not; but, from reading her letter, I perceive it is gone-- else how could a woman write such a letter?
17455Then I may sit down?
17455Then why did you come?
17455Then why do I suffer on this account?
17455Then why do you go?
17455Then why not? 17455 There are but a few more days; if I give away Kunda where can I abide?"
17455Those to whom life brings happiness may give up wine; but what have I to gain by living?
17455Well, doctor, is there no medicine for that disease?
17455What affairs?
17455What are you talking about?
17455What can I say?
17455What did I say to her?
17455What did she not say that day to Kunda Nandini Thakurani? 17455 What did you do?"
17455What distance did she walk daily?
17455What do you mean by Hama? 17455 What do you say?"
17455What do you want?
17455What flower? 17455 What has happened?"
17455What has happened?
17455What have I to gain by giving it up? 17455 What have you done?"
17455What is it?
17455What is the matter? 17455 What is the name of that Brahman?
17455What is this for?
17455What is this? 17455 What is?
17455What more is there to say?
17455What trouble have I taken?
17455What, drinking? 17455 What?
17455What?
17455When will you come back?
17455Where Hira is, what cause have I for fear?
17455Where did you get this instrument?
17455Where is the milk?
17455Where is the robbery?
17455Where shall we go?
17455Wherefore?
17455Who are you, woman?
17455Who is it?
17455Who is your mistress?
17455Who knows?
17455Who will look after the luggage?
17455Whose destiny could be better than mine was? 17455 Why am I invited?"
17455Why do you drive me away?
17455Why do you go away?
17455Why do you still ask about me? 17455 Why had I forgotten it?
17455Why have I preserved my life,she asked herself,"with the desire to see my husband?
17455Why should you weep for that?
17455Why so?
17455Why talk of it now?
17455Why, Kunda? 17455 Why?"
17455Will you go?
17455Would it not be better to refrain from these excesses?
17455Would you like to have the_ Thakur Jamai_? 17455 Yes; what evil words did you use to her?"
17455Yet why a bearer?
17455You love my brother dearly, do n''t you?
17455Yours is, especially,said his cousin,"Have you fever to- day?"
17455A quarrel with some friend?
17455A woman replied,"Do I hear the_ Thakur''s_ voice?
17455After a pause Kunda asked,"What shall I tell you?"
17455After a while the woman opened her eyes; when Haro Mani said,"Where have you come from, mother?"
17455After gazing at him some time, she said,"Do you not know me?
17455After so many days''absence has he nothing to say to you?"
17455Again Kamal asked,"Will you go?
17455All the neighbours now, quoting an old song, said,"Where now is his pledge?"
17455Am I not Debendra?
17455And Nagendra, is this the stainless character you have preserved so long?
17455Annoyed, Debendra said,"Why do you laugh?"
17455Another design I have in my mind; will God permit me to carry it out?
17455Anxiety about money?
17455Are the English infallible?
17455Are you a doctor, and do you ask that?
17455Are you angry?"
17455Are you not satisfied yet, that you wish to ruin that unprotected girl?
17455Are you or I the greater?"
17455Astonished, Debendra said,"What is the matter, Hira?"
17455Astonished, Kousalya said:"When did I abuse any one?"
17455At first Srish Chandra and Kamal Mani comforted Nagendra, saying,"She has never been accustomed to walk; how far can she go?
17455At first she thought of a lover; but then, whose lover?
17455At its close Kamal said,"Now what are your orders?"
17455At last, throwing down the lamp, he began to sing,"Who are you?
17455At length Surja Mukhi saw who it was, and exclaimed,"Is it not Kunda?"
17455At length she resolved that he slept, for if he were dead what would become of her?
17455At length, after speaking of the abuse she had received, she said--"Now what do you suppose I did?"
17455At this offer Hira became very zealous, and asked,"When may I go to make inquiry?"
17455Beauty, wealth, these are small matters; but in virtues, whose husband equals mine?
17455Beauty?
17455Because the Creator betrayed her, does she therefore wish to betray others?
17455Brother, how do you know that it is opposed to morality?
17455But even as she spoke, turning to look at the_ Boisnavi_, she could not finish her speech, but said instead:"Oh, ma, what_ Boisnavi_ are you?"
17455But how can stars dispel the darkness of a moonless night?
17455But now I know this was but the love of the eye; or else, when I have been only fifteen days married, why do I say,''Did I love her?''
17455But of what use to be ashamed?
17455But what has made your granddaughter so jolly lately?"
17455But why am I angry?
17455But would it not have been well to think a little whether the charge was true?
17455Calling the doctor, Surja Mukhi said--"The Babu is not well; why do you not give him medicine?"
17455Can I live till he comes?"
17455Can I not say whom?
17455Can I take poison?
17455Can I tell you what I have suffered?
17455Can both be true?"
17455Can they see me-- I who have wept so much?
17455Can you not sing something else?"
17455Can you take her?
17455Champa asked,"Why do you stand thus?"
17455Champa jestingly asked,"What do you see that you look into the sky a hundred times?"
17455Champa said,"How can the dead return?"
17455Could I be angry with him whom it is my joy to think upon?
17455Could I go back there?
17455Could I take it?
17455Could any respectable man''s wife, hearing of such a stain, give refuge to the guilty person?
17455Could delusion last longer?
17455Could he set no one else this task?
17455Debendra Datta?
17455Debendra said,"Have you an umbrella?"
17455Debendra said,"What, are you now also in the troop of old fools?
17455Debendra, hearing the voice, called out noisily,"Who are you-- a male or female spirit?"
17455Did I love her?
17455Did you not go to Madhupur?"
17455Did you not know of the talk about Tara Charan''s house?
17455Do I know?"
17455Do I not know how vexed you will be?
17455Do you go willingly?"
17455Do you not know that I always long for news of you?
17455Do you not longer love me?"
17455Do you think I am going to die?
17455Does he love me?
17455Does the good man become a star when he dies?"
17455Except the Creator, who could enter into that child''s heart and discern the cause of his crying?
17455For what fault had Nagendra thrust her from him?
17455For what gain should I give up my independence?
17455For what reward should I incur ill- fame?
17455For whose voice is he listening at meal- times when he pauses in the act of carrying food to his mouth?
17455From the Datta house-- where else?
17455Gently he said,"Who are you?
17455God cares for so many others-- would He not have cared for her?
17455Greatly astonished, Champa asked,"Are you acquainted with the man and woman whose forms you saw in the sky?"
17455Had it never occurred to him to ask himself what would become of Kunda when his summons came?
17455Had you not heard that Debendra had been introduced to Kunda three years before?
17455Hara Deb Ghosal wrote to Nagendra:"What has happened to you?
17455Haridasi asked,"Why?"
17455Haro Mani asked:"Who is this?
17455Haro Mani said:"You still wear your bracelet; is your husband living?"
17455Has the Babu said anything to you?"
17455Have you lost your lawsuit?
17455Have you not a spark of understanding?
17455Have you taken offence with me?
17455He called out,"Who are you lying by the roadside?"
17455He had fallen senseless on the floor, then whence came the pillow on which his head was resting?
17455He was forever preaching:"Abandon idol- worship, give choice in marriage, give women education; why do you keep them shut up in a cage?
17455He was not my husband, but why should I hide my sin from my mistress?
17455He wished to forget himself in the crowd, but at that time there was no crowd; and who can forget himself?
17455Her own peace?
17455Her return to his house might come about; let it occur when it would, what harm was there in the meantime in trying to see him secretly?
17455Hira replied, with flaming eyes:"Who are you to dismiss me?
17455Hira said to her:"Sister Kushi, I feel very strange to- day; will you do my work for me?"
17455Hira said to herself:"Now what shall I do?
17455Hira said:"How will you get to see her?"
17455Hira, with a laugh:"Are you not to get anything?"
17455His education had not been neglected by his parents; who was so well instructed as himself?
17455How can it be true?"
17455How could she do so?
17455How could they speak to strangers of such a shameful subject?
17455How did you first make love to her?"
17455How does he love me?
17455How long can she exist without seeing you?
17455How many days could she go on without seeing you?
17455How often have I uttered this name, and what is the use?
17455How often will you speak of that?
17455How shall I effect that?
17455How to do it?
17455I am a swine-- how should I recognize a pearl?"
17455I am twenty- eight or eighty years old; how shall I speak of my troubles?
17455I bought some poison, but afterwards I thought,''Why should I die for another?''
17455I can not, can not go; yet if not, what shall I do?
17455I do not wish to hurt her, but if hurting her benefits me, why should I not do it?
17455I have left my husband-- would I take his money?
17455I have long known I was destined not to have a single day of happiness, else how is it that in the first moment of joy this calamity comes upon me?"
17455I love her still; but where is my Surja Mukhi?
17455I might die; but would that save Surja Mukhi?"
17455IS THERE HOPE?
17455IS THERE HOPE?
17455If Hira were in Surja Mukhi''s place, would she be so deceitful?
17455If I am seen with you what will be my position?"
17455If I can get rid of this girl I may be happy once more; but how to get rid of her?
17455If I could not die, why did I come here?
17455If I die my family name will become extinct; if I marry I may expect children: is this unreasonable?
17455If I do not tell you my sorrows, to whom shall I tell them?
17455If I ever do give it up it will be for your sake, and--""And what?"
17455If I had not cared for Kunda Nandini, and she had died, would that have been any loss to me?
17455If I had ruled my passions, would she have been brought to die such a death in a strange place?
17455If I have been able with my own eyes to see him so happy, has not my life answered its purpose?
17455If I were to do that what would happen?
17455If I were too weak to forbid you, ought you to have sat down?
17455If I willed it, could I die instead of her?
17455If Kunda Nandini is in his eyes but as other women, why is he so careful not to look towards her?
17455If he meets it, again becoming troubled he withdraws his eyes; can I not understand that?
17455If he who would establish the custom of marrying widows is a_ pandit_, then who can be called a dunce?
17455If it is necessary you should stay so long in Calcutta, why am I not with you to attend upon you?
17455If so, why do you not tell me?
17455If so, why does she not go with Kamal?"
17455If you ca n''t climb these few steps, how will you ascend the heavenly ladder?"
17455If you do not save us, to whom shall we go?"
17455If you had any shame left, would you expose yourself in the village as a_ Boisnavi_?"
17455If, becoming angry, I say,''May I die?''
17455If, you say, God made her great, how is that her fault?
17455In a broken voice Nagendra asked,"Did any other woman live in her house?"
17455In a place where I constitute society, who is there to banish me?''
17455In a stifled voice he said--"What is this, Kunda?
17455In a weak voice he asked,"Where is Haro Mani?"
17455In astonishment Kunda replied,"Why do you ask?"
17455In begging I shall pass my life; who wilt know me?
17455In dying, sorrow leaves you: why do I not seek that expiation?"
17455In fact, Srish Chandra''s words were true-- Surja Mukhi had never walked; how far could she go?
17455In low tones Kunda said,"After that?"
17455Indistinctly, and dreading the answer, she asked the servants--"Where is Surja Mukhi?"
17455Is it my fate to weep?
17455Is it not true that if a man stays six months in that city he becomes quite stupid?
17455Is it true?
17455Is that my fault?
17455Is this a matter a woman could jest about?"
17455Is this love?"
17455Is this the end of my destiny, that I should go mad?"
17455Is this the return for your Surja Mukhi''s devotion?
17455It makes me weep; what is the use of weeping?
17455Joking apart, have you given up all right over this girl?
17455Kamal Didi said so; but how can she know it?
17455Kamal Mani replied--"You have become quite foolish, else how can you doubt your husband''s heart?
17455Kamal said,"Shall I put in a flower or two?"
17455Kamal said:"What of that?
17455Kamal understanding her thought, replied--"What does it matter in what country it happens?
17455Kamal, more angrily, said:"Why?
17455Kousalya heard the question, and answered,"Do n''t you know?
17455Kunda Nandini; why do you tremble at the touch of a thief?
17455Kunda did not reply; and Kamal went on:"Does not the_ Bou_( Surja Mukhi) love you?
17455Kunda had not received the news of Surja Mukhi''s death, therefore she thought,"What is the use of dying now?
17455Kunda seemed to reply:"Whither shall I go?"
17455Kunda thinks,"If I am virtuous, shall I be born again as an insect?"
17455Kunda thought,"Why should I be blamed for all this?"
17455Kunda, agitated with fear, breathing with difficulty, asked,"Who are you?"
17455Kunda, with thy one garment, whither goest thou?
17455Kunda?"
17455LOTUS- EYED, WHO ART THOU?
17455LOTUS- EYED, WHO ART THOU?
17455Many give it up, why should not you do so?"
17455Mine was a splendid destiny; how has it changed thus?"
17455Much dejected, Nagendra asked,"Where is he gone?"
17455My beloved always had a gracious countenance; why is he now always so absent- minded?
17455My day is over; were it not so how should I be in this condition?
17455My husband is not here, with whom can I take counsel?"
17455Nagendra asked angrily,"What is my fault?"
17455Nagendra looked at the pure, cold water, and asked himself,"Can I lie there?"
17455Nagendra, annoyed, said,"What complaint have I?"
17455Nagendra, astonished, asked:"What has happened?"
17455Nagendra, frowning, said in a sharp voice:"What does that mean?"
17455Nagendra, somewhat disturbed, replied:"Do you wish things to be as they were before?
17455Nagendra, what if you should discover the flower, Kunda, under the trees?
17455Nagendra-- again I say it, Nagendra; if Nagendra heard of it what would he say?
17455No?
17455Not recognizing Kunda, Surja Mukhi said,"Who are you?"
17455Noticing her silence, Nagendra said:"Why do you not talk?
17455Now it seemed to say,"How are you, my Hira?
17455Now the messenger of death stood at his bedside; he was about to leave the world; where would Kunda be on the morrow?
17455Now what happiness remains to be hoped for?"
17455Now where shall I find Surja Mukhi?
17455Now where was that moon?
17455Now--"Breathing hard, Nagendra repeated,"Now?"
17455Occasionally when his mind is absent his eyes wander hither and thither; do I not know what they are seeking?
17455Of what was Nagendra thinking at that time as he sat in the_ boita khana_?
17455Oh, what do I say?
17455On reading this letter he thought to himself:"What is this?
17455On the road she was met by a neighbour, who said,"Oh, Hira''s grandmother, what have you in your hand?"
17455One of the elder women addressed her saying,"Who are you?"
17455Otherwise, why are you sitting in my house?
17455Perceiving the doctor, she said,"Oh, father, where is the doctor, father?"
17455Recognizing her, Debendra asked in astonishment,"Who has brought you to this condition?"
17455Regard yourself as a widow-- since your husband is so base, are you not a widow?
17455Reviving, the woman asked,"Where am I?"
17455Say, say, will you be my wife or not?
17455Seeing Hira weeping, he asked,"Why do you weep, Hira?"
17455Shall I drown myself?
17455Shall I please myself by uttering it for once?
17455Shall I spare the Babu?
17455Shall I write to Nagendra?"
17455She asked herself who it could be?
17455She asked herself:"Is this censure?
17455She asked,"Why?"
17455She began to think,"Why was I so hasty in leaving the house?
17455She had already wept much, and now she began to think,"What is the use of weeping?
17455She had heard of a reward being offered for finding Surja Mukhi, therefore on seeing her she asked--"Are you not our mistress?"
17455She inquired,"When was it?"
17455She now said:"What is my purpose?
17455She said, smiling,"Ma, why do you weep in this way?
17455She said,"For what fault did you leave me?"
17455She weeps-- what can I do?
17455Should I become a star if I did that?
17455Should I see every day-- whom?
17455Should I see?
17455Since the Creator has given me the opportunity, why should I lose it through my own fault?
17455So she asked herself:"Do the good become stars after death?
17455So, shaking her head, she said:"You presume so far as to abuse me?"
17455Some may ask, What harm if he did?
17455Some say,"Why has not five become seven?"
17455Srish Chandra was silent for a time; at length he said:"Brother, why dwell upon this an longer?
17455Srish said, laughing,"Have the cucumbers been stolen again?"
17455Stammeringly she asked one of the throng of women,"Who is that?"
17455Still, may I not weep over that suffering with you?"
17455Struck to the heart, Nagendra said in troubled tones,"Why have you done this?
17455Suddenly raising her face, she asked--"Kamal, in what country are females destroyed at birth?"
17455Surendra, lending no ear to his evil words, said,"Whose destruction are you seeking to compass by assuming this disguise?"
17455Surja Mukhi loved her husband; did not Kunda love him?
17455Surja Mukhi said:"If you do not know what is the fault, how can I?
17455Surja Mukhi smiled, a faint smile indeed, like the pale flashes of lightning after rain; then answered--"What am I?
17455Surja Mukhi, calling Hira, said,"Do you know that_ Boisnavi_?"
17455Surja Mukhi, examining the_ Boisnavi_ from head to foot, inquired,"Who are you?"
17455Surja Mukhi, with wet eyes, said:"I am dying; why should I feel shame at such a time?
17455Taking Surja Mukhi aside, he asked,"Have you dismissed Hira?"
17455The doctor asked,"What has happened to you?"
17455The final objection-- Surja Mukhi: Why do I distress a loving wife with a rival?
17455The ghost- like shrubs, murmuring, asked,"Whither goest thou?"
17455The letter ended, the_ Brahmachari_ asked,"What address shall I write?"
17455The old woman answered,"Hira has become hysterical; the doctor has given me some castor- oil for her; do you think that will be good for hysterics?"
17455The robber said:"Kunda, will you go to- morrow to Calcutta?
17455The_ Boisnavi_, listening to the different demands, gave a momentary glance at Kunda, saying:"Have you no commands to give?"
17455The_ Brahmachari_ asked"What shall we call you?
17455The_ Brahmachari_ stood waiting, the lightning flashed brightly; he saw something lying at the side of the road-- was it a human being?
17455The_ Brahmachari_ wiped his eyes also, and said:"Where is your husband?
17455Then Kamal Mani drew Kunda''s head lovingly on her breast, and taking hold of her face caressingly, said,"Kunda, will you tell me the truth?"
17455Then Nagendra said,"Will not some of you receive her and give her in marriage?
17455Then Srish asked,"Must you really go to Govindpur?
17455Then Surendra entered, sat down by Debendra, and after inquiring after his health, said,"Where have you been to- day again?"
17455Then he asked,"Will it cause remark if I sit here until the rain is past?"
17455Then holding the light in another direction, he asked,"Whose spirit are you?"
17455Then if it is not beauty, is it disposition?
17455Then she said,"Kunda, why do you weep?"
17455Then she said--"You are my all, my present and my future; why should I hide anything from you?
17455Then the spirit, laughing, said,"Are you well,_ Boisnavi Didi_?"
17455Then what is lost now-- hope?
17455Then which are they among those hosts?
17455Then why am I writing all this trash?
17455Then why not say so?
17455Then, in an angry voice, Surja Mukhi said,"Who are you to take me back?"
17455There will be a rainstorm: who will shelter Kunda?
17455This low- born female is also, I think, very young, else in meeting with her why should you forget me?
17455This was not like perfect happiness; but since the flight of Surja Mukhi, where had there been perfect happiness?
17455This was the letter:"Dearest,--Since you returned to Calcutta you have forgotten me; else why have I had only one letter from you?
17455Those long slender moonbeams by which the heart was wo nt to be refreshed, why did they now seem so glaring?
17455Thus saying, Debendra sat down by Hira, who, after a little silent enjoyment this pleasure, said--"Why have you come here?
17455To solve his doubt he said,"Who are you?"
17455To whom can I speak?
17455WHAT IS THE POISON TREE?
17455WHAT IS THE POISON TREE?
17455Was Surja Mukhi my wife only?
17455Was it a pillow?
17455Was it not your design to compass my destruction?
17455Were you not charmed with my get- up?"
17455What I have suffered, what I do suffer, how can I tell you?
17455What am I to do alone?"
17455What am I?
17455What beauty decked with jewels had ever felt the pleasure felt by Surja Mukhi at that moment?
17455What can I do?
17455What can he hide from me?
17455What could Surja Mukhi say to these heart- piercing words?
17455What could a thief have done to Surja Mukhi?
17455What could secluded women understand of the method of that singing?
17455What did you say to Kunda Nandini?"
17455What do you say?
17455What does he love-- my beauty or me?
17455What expiation?
17455What further expiation?
17455What harm did a few words do to me?
17455What has happened to my Hira?"
17455What has happened to you?"
17455What has she sent you to say?
17455What if, hearing this sound, she should know that if you move and become invisible her happiness will be gone?
17455What if, seeing you in the window, the sound of her beating heart should make itself heard?
17455What is lost-- happiness?
17455What is the broken shell?"
17455What joy could I hope for in denying happiness to him?
17455What more could she say?
17455What objection then remains?
17455What poison?
17455What slayer of father, mother, or son, is a greater sinner than I?
17455What will become of them hereafter?"
17455What?
17455When all were gone, Surendra asked Debendra,"How are you to- day?"
17455When did the_ Thakur_ come?"
17455When he met her he only said,"Where do you come from, Kamal?"
17455When people came in she said,"Do you see the old woman wearing flowers in her hair?"
17455When so learned a teacher affirms that widow- marriage is approved by the Shastras, who can contradict?
17455When there she held the poison in her hand, weeping bitterly; then, wiping her eyes, she said--"What fault have I committed that I should die?
17455Where are you going?"
17455Where have I seen you?"
17455Where is she?"
17455Where should I get it?
17455Where was Surja Mukhi now?
17455Where will money come from?
17455While thus engaged the latter murmured,"Are you not Kunda?"
17455Who does not seek his own advantage?
17455Who ever had such a husband?
17455Who gives food to a mad woman?
17455Who has stolen the broken shell?"
17455Who is there more unfortunate than I?
17455Who knows?
17455Who so fortunate as myself?
17455Who would bring it for me?
17455Who would live in a world so full of sorrow?
17455Who would love?
17455Who?"
17455Why am I so angry with Surja Mukhi?
17455Why are the words of a thief as a thorn in the flesh?
17455Why are you angry, sister?
17455Why did I marry Kunda Nandini?
17455Why did I not die by the roadside?
17455Why did I not die?
17455Why did I not die?
17455Why did I not go?
17455Why did not the earth open and swallow up Nagendra in his palanquin?
17455Why did the Creator betray her?
17455Why did you believe a drunkard''s words?"
17455Why did you come that night?
17455Why did you not send for me?"
17455Why did you save me?"
17455Why did you speak of my illness?
17455Why do I delay now?
17455Why do I not die now?
17455Why do you not introduce us to your wife?"
17455Why does Debendra think Kunda so beautiful?
17455Why had he not torn up the seed of the poison tree from his heart?
17455Why hang pearls on a monkey''s neck?
17455Why have you thus sacrificed yourself?"
17455Why is there so much sorrow in it?
17455Why might she not even see him?
17455Why not?
17455Why should I die without killing him who has struck me?
17455Why should I doubt my husband''s heart?
17455Why should I hurt her?
17455Why should I trouble myself?
17455Why should everything that seemed beautiful in days of happiness seem to- day so ugly?
17455Why should he love me?
17455Why should it not succeed?
17455Why should you destroy me?"
17455Why should you not go with me to see her?
17455Why should you not tell me what it is?
17455Why this consent after so long an interval?
17455Why, then, am I angry?
17455Why, then, did I instal Kunda Nandini in her seat?
17455Why, then, did she not seek the water?
17455Why, then, should I become subject to you?
17455Widow- marriage is allowed in the Shastras, so what fault can be found with it?
17455Will he not come?"
17455Will the ladies like a song?"
17455Will you give a lecture in our Brahmo Samaj?"
17455Will you let her sing for you?
17455Will you not come and see me?
17455Wiping Kunda''s eyes she said again,"Kunda, will you go with me?"
17455With a melancholy face she asked--"Has the Babu had any talk with you since he came home?
17455With half of your heart you still think of your own rights; else why, having sacrificed yourself, do you repent?"
17455Without raising his eyes Nagendra said--"Kunda, when did you come?
17455Would it not be well that I should renew acquaintance with your new_ grihini_?"
17455Would it not be well to die?
17455Would you not fear to do so?"
17455Yes, I remember; why should it not be?
17455Yet on what pretext could she present herself in the court- yard of the house?
17455Yet why should Kamal try to flatter me?
17455You keep many poisons; can you sell me one that will instantly destroy life?"
17455You will say if a man may marry two wives why should not a woman have two husbands?
17455and from whence do you come?"
17455and if so, are all I loved become stars?
17455and when Kunda''s tones reach his ear, and he fastens to eat his meal, can one not understand that?
17455and why should I be blamed?"
17455are you quite well, Kundi?"
17455but what can I do, sister?
17455did you leave me here to such a fate?"
17455do you repent having married me?"
17455do you think widow marriage unholy?"
17455do you venture to intrude here?
17455dost thou not see that my brother loves thee?"
17455for what fault are you leaving me?"
17455friend_ Malini_, are you going?"
17455how can I determine?
17455how could I allow myself to be put off last night when parting from her?"
17455in this world who cares for any one?
17455is there another man like him?
17455may I meet you at my last moment; but why have you come now?"
17455not more holy than I?
17455or was it the lap of some one-- of Kunda Nandini?
17455said Hira, angrily,"you deny it?
17455said Kamal;"if you do n''t go, can I stay there long?"
17455said Nagendra;"how did you meet with the_ Brahmachari_?"
17455said the tipsy one,"are you a spirit from the Datta family?"
17455she exclaimed,"what is in your mind?
17455the fan palms rustled,"Whither dost thou go?"
17455the water is pure, cool, pleasant; will you plunge into it?
17455thought he;"is there a prisoner in the gaols of this country who is not more happy than I?
17455what am I?
17455what happy man could have quitted thee on such an autumn night with satiated eyes?
17455what is your name?"
17455where did you find her?"
17455where does he live?"
17455whither goest thou?
17455who else possesses such a wife?
17455who was there on earth to- day more wretched?
17455why can I not pronounce the name?
17455why hast Thou not made this a happy world?
17455why take such pains to avoid speaking her name?
17455will you love me or no?"
17455will you not die?
17455you have not an evil countenance, you too are young; why this vice in your heart?
17455your words, or the letter?"

15477Alas, those high- souled heroes, those great car warriors, my fathers- in- law, Somadatta and others,--alas, what end has been theirs, O puissant one?
15477Alas, thus transformed, what shall I say unto them?
15477Alas, what will be the plight of those foremost ladies who have been deprived by us of husbands and sons and maternal uncles and brothers?
15477Alas, when shall I see my mother who is now toil- worn and plunged into exceeding misery?

15477Am I asleep or awake?
15477Am I conscious or unconscious?

15477Are all thy perceptions, O sinless one, now clear?
15477Are both these kinds of sons equal?
15477Are the ladies of thy household duly honoured in thy house, O best of men?
15477Are there any signs, O grandsire, by which the truth may be known about the origin of such men?"''"
15477Are they that live in dependance on thee also happy?
15477Are those also that live in thy dominions free from fear?
15477Are those rewards earned here or are they to come hereafter?
15477Are thy ministers, and servitors, and all thy seniors and preceptors also, happy?
15477Arrived in deep woods, what is now the condition of that personage of royal descent, who is, again, bereft of vision?
15477Art thou a wife devoted to thy lord?
15477Art thou able to earn with thy own exertions the products of the wilderness for thy food?
15477Art thou conversant with the practices of the respectable?
15477Art thou ignorant of this fact?
15477Art thou in peace and happiness, O learned Brahmana?
15477Art thou not conscious then of the sin thou committest, since thou dost not salute this foremost one of the Vrishni''s race?
15477As regards the righteous, therefore, how can there be any question or doubt in respect of this matter?
15477Beholding Narada on one occasion worshipping many foremost of Brahmanas with joined hands, Kesava addressed him saying,''Whom dost thou worship?
15477Beholding such exceedingly wonderful sights, the king began to reflect inwardly, saying,''Is this a dream?
15477Beholding( her daughter- in- law) Uttara, she said,--''O blessed girl, where has thy husband gone?

15477But why should the Vedas say an untruth?
15477By doing what may one be said to be found of guest?"
15477By making presents unto( what kind of) Brahmanas one may acquire great merit?
15477By pursuing what conduct, O god,--indeed, by what kind of acts,--by what behaviour and attributes and words, do men succeed in ascending to heaven?"
15477By what act does a man leading the domestic mode of life succeed in cleansing all his sins?''
15477By what action are the two paths, northern and southern, obtained?

40588Now tell me: which of those two shewed most courage in plunging into the water?
40588Prudence indeed is power, so what has a man, devoid of prudence, to do with power? 40588 So what am I to do with these figures, which are all a mere burden, now that I am deprived of him?"
40588Then I said to Suratamanjarí,''Lady, by whom were you married, and how did this person get possession of you?'' 40588 Therefore, though our youth be very charming, why should we cling to this perishable body?
40588Thou art an observer of the good custom; how hast thou come into this state?
40588Thus discernment and reflection are the main things in governing a kingdom; what is of more importance?
40588Thus heroic souls endure separation for so long a time, and how can you find it difficult to endure it for only one night?
40588What reckless crime of this kind will not a wicked wife commit?
40588When I heard that, I said,''What, what? 40588 When he saw her alight and come towards him, he said to her,"Who are you, and why have you come?"
40588When that witch Sarabhánaná had said this, we said to her--''Tell us, who is to be the future emperor of the Vidyádharas? 40588 Would not that speech of the miser''s make even a stone laugh?
40588''How comes it that you have gone so far from the garden without letting me know?
40588''In this very market- place there is a pitcher full of valuable jewels buried in front of the god: why do you not take it up also?''
40588Accordingly she must of necessity endure the misery which the curse of the Siddha maiden has entailed; who can alter that?
40588After all, how can that promise of my teacher''s be false, as it is so precisely in accordance with all that has taken place?
40588After riding some time, the horse said--"I think I hear a noise; look round, can you see anything?"
40588After saying this to the abashed physician, the king said to the cooks--"Is there any of the flesh of that goat left?"
40588After some time the horse again said,"Look back, can you see anything now?"
40588After the monkey had thus reflected, he said to the porpoise;"If this is the case, why did you not inform me of this before, my friend?
40588After they had said this, they asked her young son, who was there,"Who killed your father?"
40588All of them thereupon said to him,--"What does this mean?"
40588Am I a weakling?
40588Am I like you?
40588Anangaprabhá too, seeing that he was handsome, came within the range of the god of the flowery bow, and said to herself--"Who is this?
40588And Chakra asked him,--"Who are you, by what crime did you incur this, and how do you manage to continue alive?"
40588And Earth said"What other man is so devoted to his lord?
40588And I said to her,"Fair one, you are fitted to dwell in a palace, how comes it that you are here in the forest?"
40588And I set myself to practise gaming and the use of arms; what boy does not become self- willed if he is not kept in order by some superior?
40588And I, wanting to know what it was, said to him in private,''Gunasarman, why do you seem to be altered to- day?''
40588And Indra immediately had his body covered with repulsive marks; for to whom is not immorality a cause of humiliation?
40588And Indra said to Chandraketu the king of the Vidyádharas,"Why has Muktáphalaketu not yet come?"
40588And Prahasta advanced towards Súryaprabha and said--"King, are you awake or not?"
40588And Pránadhara answered him, bowing before him--"I am that very brother of his, but how does Your Highness know about us?"
40588And Siva said to her,"What can there be in the world, my beloved, present, past, or future that thou dost not know?"
40588And Srídarsana said,"Can there possibly be a village here?
40588And Vásavadattá frequently exclaimed with tears,"What profit is there in my life that causes only sorrow to my husband?"
40588And Víravara, who was followed by the king, said with astonishment,"Who are you, and why do you thus weep?"
40588And a general rumour, though false, injures even great men in this world; was not Ráma compelled by a slanderous report to abandon his wife Sítá?
40588And a moment afterwards Yama said to Chitragupta,"Has this robber any amount of merit to his credit or not?"
40588And a wise man must visit them, while he is young; for otherwise how can he be sure of reaching them, as this body can not be relied on?"
40588And after he and his father had welcomed the man, who bowed before him, he immediately asked him,"Who are you and why have you come?"
40588And after he had paid tribute, that haughty king was exceedingly afflicted, thinking to himself,"Why have I made submission to my enemy?"
40588And after the meal,[ 226] being refreshed, I said to him,"Who are you, sir, and why have you thus saved the life of me who am resolved on death?
40588And already five months are past; who knows what will become of her?
40588And as for those Asuras who were slain by the gods, they were reckless, but did the gods slay Bali and others who were not infatuated?"
40588And as for wealth, I have plenty, what do I want with more?
40588And as soon as Dharmavyádha saw the hermit, he said,"Have you been sent here, Bráhman, by that faithful wife?"
40588And as to the power of understanding the language of beasts and birds, which he possesses, what is the practical use of it?
40588And at last he reached the shore of the western sea, and there he reflected,"How shall I cross over this sea?"
40588And at night he asked that old woman, who did not recognize him,"Mother, do you know any tidings about the family of Dhanadeva?"
40588And considering my poverty is so great, why did the Creator make my ambition so vast?
40588And did I not say at the time,''I will not dwell in his house?''"
40588And did he not, on that same occasion, grow bigger, and step into heaven?
40588And did not Yayáti come to old age for love of Sarmishtá?
40588And do homage, O Janamejaya; why have you given your daughter to an undeserver?
40588And do not feel any commiseration with regard to me, so as to say to yourself--''Why should I be the cause of this man''s death?''
40588And do not say to yourself,''How can I eat an enemy''s food?''
40588And do you not know that he will prosper in fight by the force of science?
40588And does good fortune attend on the other chief Rájpúts in his army, and on the elephants, horses, chariots and footmen?"
40588And eager to hit upon an artifice, he immediately asked that woman,"Noble lady, what is the name of the king here, and what children has he?
40588And he asked her,--"Auspicious lady, who are you, and why are you perturbed?"
40588And he asked his wife and children, addressing them severally by name,"How have you returned to life after having been reduced to ashes?
40588And he called out from above--"Who waits at the palace- gate?"
40588And he certainly protects her, because she is ever intent on worshipping him; for virtue prevails; has it not been seen in the present instance?
40588And he cried out from above--"Who is on guard at the palace- gate?"
40588And he cried out from the roof,"Who is in attendance at the palace- gate?"
40588And he exclaimed,"Holy Skanda, how could you give to ill- starred me a boon joined with a curse, like nectar mixed with poison?
40588And he exclaimed,"If I do not see a living woman like this figure, of what profit to me is my kingdom or my life?"
40588And he gave him his own daughter on the spot; what do generous men withhold when pleased with their benefactors?
40588And he is my only husband, so why am I unchaste?
40588And he said to her,"Fair one, who are you?
40588And he said to her,"My beloved, what does all this mean?
40588And he said to her,"Tell me, who are you?"
40588And he said to himself,"If I have been born in a royal race, why am I so poor?
40588And he said to the bard;"Who is this silent and motionless, engaged in meditation?
40588And he said to the guards there,"Who made this offering?"
40588And he said to the kings and to his ministers,"Tell me; shall I go to Ujjayiní to be married, or not?"
40588And he spent the night in such thoughts as these,"Shall I ever get across the sea, and win that blushing bride?"
40588And he thereupon gave her this answer;"Supported by affection for thee, I came here enduring many risks to my life, what else can I say, fair one?"
40588And he, opening his eyes, said to him,"My friend, I am awake, for how could I sleep to- day being alone?
40588And how am I to recover him?
40588And how can one obtain from a son the same fruit in the next world, as one obtains from the marriage of a daughter?
40588And how can you, though devoted to me, urge me to commit a crime, which will bring momentary pleasure,[ 366] but cause great misery in the next world?
40588And how comes it that you did not know, you foolish creatures, that I should not be likely to put to death two sons obtained by severe austerities?
40588And how could Bali have given the three worlds to Vishnu, and himself have gone to prison?
40588And how could Prabala have given his own body to the gods?
40588And how could you, without a chariot, have fought with a Rákshasa, who possessed a chariot?
40588And how did he pass through the state of humanity inflicted on him by a curse, and regain Padmávatí?
40588And how did you start from this place?"
40588And how did you two come to enter this unpeopled wood?
40588And how long, being brave men, can we remain without fighting a battle?
40588And how shall I obtain such a lord again?
40588And how will he manage to exist here alone separated from us?
40588And how will his companions exist?
40588And how will you be able to go alone on foot through the forests, and who will attend on you to remove your weariness?
40588And if I do not requite this benefit, what is the use of my sovereignty, and of my protracting my life, which would only be like that of an animal?"
40588And if his sister came and tricked me into marrying her by assuming my wife''s form, what fault have I committed in this?
40588And if the destroyer of Tripura[ 637] favours us and is active on our side, what other miserable creature in the three worlds has any power?
40588And if this prince dies, what good will my life do to me?
40588And if you desert your lawful wife, I shall not allow your crime to go unpunished, for who in my position could tolerate such an outrage on morality?
40588And immediately after putting him out, she went to her father, and her father asked her:"Did that Bráhman speak the truth?"
40588And immediately he asked that girl in secret, bowing before her humbly,--"Adorable one, who art thou, that art thus become incarnate in my family?"
40588And in a moment the princess said to the ascetic,''Then, noble lady, why should not your sister''s daughter be my guest also?
40588And in his astonishment he said to the lion, the bird, and the snake;"Tell me, how come you to have articulate voice, and what is your history?"
40588And in his astonishment, he asked him;"Who are you, sir, that you are so cheerful?"
40588And in the evening his father said to him,"My son, treat her as a wife, for who abstains from the society of his own wife?"
40588And independence is not fit for a maiden who ought to be in dependence on relations?
40588And it came to pass that Vyádi and Indradatta asked their preceptor Varsha what fee they should give him?
40588And it grieves me not for myself, for whose body is continuing?
40588And it is guarded by a king named Devamáya, who is exceedingly haughty; so how can you advance further without conquering him?"
40588And it seemed as if he was carried off to the abode of the gods by the nymphs of heaven, saying--"What have you to do with this contemptible woman?
40588And king Mahásena rose up, and was pleased when he saw his enemy dead, and said repeatedly to Gunasarman--"What am I to say?
40588And like a kind man, the elephant said to him lovingly, over and over again, with articulate voice,"Do you feel at all better?"
40588And moreover will he forget us when he enters another body, like a man gone to the other world?
40588And my brother, who was jealous, said in his wrath to that Siddha;''Why dost thou, although a Siddha, cast a longing look at another''s wife?''
40588And on the next day, as he was sitting in the hall of audience, he said to his courtiers,"Has any one among you seen the city called the Golden City?
40588And once on a time the physician of his own motion said to the king,"Why do you make me of no account and act independently?
40588And one day his wife asked him,--"Where do you always eat and drink before you come home?"
40588And one of them came up to him, and pretending to be in a great state of excitement, said;"Bráhman, how come you to have this dog on your shoulder?
40588And prompted by love, she said to that Savara,"Where is that friend of yours?
40588And reflect, my good man; who is born free from sorrow in this world?
40588And say to him politely from me,''Why did you not openly ask me for my daughter?
40588And seeing the bed empty, she said,"How is this, that the king of Vatsa wakes up before me, and departs, leaving me asleep?"
40588And she addressed to him this question,"Great Bráhman, who is this girl you have with you, and why are you come?"
40588And she answered,"Would you like to eat your mangoes cold or hot?"
40588And she bowed before her, and said to her,"Queen, queen Svayamprabhá sends you this message,''Have you forgotten your own promise?
40588And she made him sit down on a sofa, and said to him,"Who is this man that you have brought here to- day?"
40588And she said to him with a voice, the accents of which were choked with tears,"Cruel one, why did you depart and forsake my innocent self?"
40588And she said to him--"Who are you, and why have you come to this inaccessible land?"
40588And she said with a spiteful intonation to Mahalliká--"How are you, my friend, how comes it that you have come here at night?"
40588And she said"Prince Jímútaváhana, lord renowned over the whole world, how is it, that, though thou art compassionate, thou hast not delivered me?"
40588And she said,"Tell me the truth; are you the king Nala disguised as a cook?
40588And she, seeing that he was of noble appearance, said to him bashfully--"Tell me, who are you?
40588And she, when she heard this, answered:--"How could I desire marriage until you have accepted a bridegroom, for you are dearer to me than life?"
40588And so the Rákshasa arrived as before, and asked his daughter, who was disguised as a man--"Did you see a man and a woman on the road?"
40588And soon she rose up, and lamented those two that had been so unexpectedly slain, and said to herself,"Of what use is this life of mine to me now?"
40588And tell me another thing, where are my sword and my beloved gone?"
40588And tell us how such a disease can be cured in him?"
40588And that Bráhman came in the morning, and, seeing the boy in the convent, said to those fools,"Who brought this fellow here?"
40588And that blockhead asked,"What makes this food so savoury?"
40588And that intoxicated woman asked him when he approached her,"Who are you, and how have you come to this inaccessible place?"
40588And that priest immediately took it, saying,"I undertook to do this long ago, why should you trouble yourself about it?"
40588And that sky- goer, coming near, said to the king,"King Kanakavarsha, how have you come to this region?"
40588And the Rákshasa, quite taken aback by his courage, said to him,"What have you got to do there?
40588And the Savara, when he saw her, being overpowered with wonder, reflected--"Who can this be?
40588And the Vidyádharí, invisible as she was, said to him from the pillar--"Noble sir, what harm have I done you?
40588And the compassionate man landed him on the bank, and said;"Who did this to you, my brother?"
40588And the courtiers asked the porter,"Why did you, when you had got hold of a bracelet marked with the king''s name, conceal it?"
40588And the emperor, seeing that his wives had arrived in his presence, said to Dhanavatí,"Where are my ministers?"
40588And the great sage said to her with an affectionate voice,"Who are you, and how did you get into this wood, and why do you weep?"
40588And the hall, full of the noise of the altercations of gamblers, seemed to utter this cry,"Who is there whose wealth I could not take away?
40588And the hermit, after entertaining him with fruits and other delicacies, asked him,"Whence have you come, and whither are you going?
40588And the hermit, who was his guest, said,"Why do you interrupt our conversation to do this?"
40588And the king had her summoned, with the maimed man on her back, and, when she came near, he recognized her and said;"Are you that devoted wife?"
40588And the king said to her,"Why do you suddenly appear despondent, tell me, my darling?"
40588And the king seeing him in such a depressed state said to him--"Why have you become so thin?
40588And the king, who had now fallen within the range of the arrows of love, said to himself;"Who can this be?
40588And the mendicant answered clearly--"I do not wish to say what is unpleasant, but how can I help telling you when I am asked?
40588And the mendicant monks, hearing it, came together in astonishment, and said to him,"Why do you without cause sound the gong at the wrong time?"
40588And the merchant said to him,"Where is that son of mine?"
40588And the mind of women can not be relied upon, it is not touched even by such a service as rescue from death; so what other benefit can move them?"
40588And the next day he had them brought into his judgement- hall, and asked them--"Who are you and why did you deliberate together so long?"
40588And the other hermits there debated among themselves;"Surely this Sítá is guilty, otherwise how could her husband have deserted her?
40588And the people said to Sumanas,"Who are you, and what is the meaning of this?"
40588And the serpent said with a human voice to the lady:"Why do you lament, my good woman?"
40588And the virtuous Karataka, seeing it, said to Damanaka--"Why have you brought calamity on our master to gain your own ends?
40588And then I sat down, and my friend, perceiving the feelings of both, put this question to him through his companion,"Who are you, noble sir, tell me?"
40588And then he said to her,"Who art thou, and what is thy sorrow?
40588And then he said to her,"Why do you weep, my daughter?"
40588And then her mother Makaradanshtrá said to her,--"Why do you behave in this way, my daughter?"
40588And then how would your son Naraváhanadatta live?
40588And then the hero thought;"How can I manage during the night to convey this princess from this place to the harem?"
40588And then the king honoured Gomukha, and asked him joyfully,"How did you obtain this princess?
40588And then the lady of heavenly appearance said to him,"Courageous hero, for what price will you sell the flesh?"
40588And then the princess asked the daughter of Maya,"Friend, how is it that he is called the king of Vatsa?
40588And they said,"Alas, friend, what is this that you have undertaken?
40588And they with one accord gave the following answer,"That king is a villain; so how can a visit to his palace turn out well?
40588And was not Muktáphalaketu, emperor of the Vidyádharas, reunited to Padmávatí, after he had been separated from her?
40588And was not his son Sattvavara braver, who, though a mere child, displayed such preëminent courage?
40588And was not his wife braver, who, though a mother, endured to witness with her own eyes the offering up of her son as a victim?
40588And were not thenceforth perfect cows born upon earth?
40588And what does it matter that you gave him protection, or that he came as a suppliant, if he plots against your life?
40588And what have you done?
40588And what is that country favoured by fortune to which you are going?"
40588And what is the meaning of what you say?
40588And what thing is there in it?"
40588And what what will you say to your father, when you have spent all your property, or where will you go?
40588And what wise man desires to attain prosperity by the slaughter of others?
40588And when Brahmá applauded him, Indra said to him,"Revered one, why are you pleased with one who is getting the worst of it?"
40588And when Dhanadeva arrived there, he said to himself;"Why should I rashly introduce this unchaste woman into my house?
40588And when Mandavisarpiní saw him, she said,"Why have you invaded my home?
40588And when he came down, she said to him and her slave:"Are you in love with one another?"
40588And when he entered it, the guards saw him, and cried out;"Who are you?"
40588And when he had gone, the town- bred gentleman said to his wife,--"My dear, I hope you did not give him anything before he went?"
40588And when he had set out in silence, the Vetála spake to him from his shoulder;"King, what is the meaning of this persistency of yours?
40588And when he heard the cuckoos singing concealed by the leafy creepers, he said,"Is the sweet- voiced fair one here addressing me?"
40588And when he looks up and asks--"Who is here?"
40588And when he saw it, he restrained his wrath, and in his self- control reflected,"What is the use of slaying this animal who has betrayed his friend?
40588And when he was there, the frogs asked him, keeping at a safe distance;"Tell us, worthy sir, why do you no longer eat frogs as of old?"
40588And when his father said to him,"Son, why do you blame me?"
40588And when my daughter, who is her friend, put this question to her''My dear, why do you not desire marriage, the only fruit of a daughter''s birth?''
40588And when night came on, he asked his servants--"Have we enough wine left for the latter part of the night or not?"
40588And when night came, I said laughing to the bride in the bridal chamber,"Do you remember those warm and those cool mangoes?"
40588And when she grew up, Agnisarman''s parents said to him,"Son, why do you not now go and fetch your wife?"
40588And when she looked at him with a sidelong look tender with passion, he asked her--"Who are you, auspicious one, and why have you come here?"
40588And when some one asked--"What is that?"
40588And when the Rákshasa had disappeared, Sakatála again asked me--"How did the Rákshasa become your friend?"
40588And when the Vetála wanted to kill him, he dissuaded him, and said,"Of what use will it be to us to kill this miserable heretic?
40588And when the king asked,"How comes smoke to be rising here?"
40588And when the king said to him;"How did you obtain these wives, and who is that Rákshasa?"
40588And when the king suddenly beheld her advancing towards him, he was astonished and reflected--"Who can this be of incredible beauty?
40588And when the lion heard the roar of that bull, never heard before, resounding through the air, he thought,"What animal makes this sound?
40588And when the minister cried out,"Who requires anything, and what does he require?"
40588And whence was he named Udayana?
40588And while he said--"What, have you consumed it all?"
40588And while we were reading the Veda there, her father the Bráhman Yajnasvámin came up to us, and said,"Where do you come from?"
40588And who here can interfere with the movements of gods?
40588And who is this, O lotus- faced one, who is sleeping here?"
40588And who would ever have thought of seeing such a thing as this living golden deer studded with jewels, which they possess?
40588And who, O king, is of more firm valour or more generous than you?
40588And why are you so eager for the undertaking, beholding his prosperity?
40588And why do you make the moon of your countenance like the moon when flecked with spots, by staining it with tears?"
40588And why do you shew this despondency when your marriage is at hand?
40588And why does she torture in this wilderness, with the discipline appropriate to ascetics, her body, which is soft as a flower?"
40588And why have you come to me?
40588And why should not one be sacrificed to supply food to many?
40588And why should you have any shame about the matter?
40588And why, though your body is marked with the signs of royalty, have you undertaken the vow of an ascetic?
40588And will you not captivate the heart of the man, whose heart was captivated by Suprabhá?
40588And you, being men of auspicious appearance, will no doubt attain prosperity; so tell me, what is your grief?
40588And Ádityasena thought to himself;"His condition is past cure, so what is the use of torturing him?
40588Are the crows in fault when the swans eat the rice?"
40588Are there no mango- creepers, as well as poisonous creepers?
40588Are you a jackal in courage, and not a lion as your name denotes?"
40588Are you distracted with wind?
40588Are you in good health?"
40588As I am the daughter of a king, how can I become his wife?
40588As for my desiring empire, is there any one that does not desire all sorts of things?"
40588As he has a thousand faces and a thousand mouths, why could he not say with one mouth to Garuda,''Eat me first?''
40588As soon as he had said this, his parents answered him;"What is this that you say, son?
40588As the ordinance of the god standeth sure, why should you despair of reunion with your wife?
40588As things may happen, as things may fall Who knows but that I may be Lady of Bunny Hall?''
40588At that moment I called to mind what Brahmá had said, and I thought,"Why should I not call to the king for aid?
40588At that moment a female slave came and said to the king,"Great Sir, how came you to enter this mouth of death?
40588Besides, did not he himself take away the sovereignty of the gods from Hiranyáksha, though it descended to him as the elder?
40588Besides, what harm can he do us unaided?"
40588Bhadrá then said to Vidúshaka;"How did you come to this land?"
40588But Gopálaka said to him,"What, my child, do you not suppose that I have all the happiness I desire by thus seeing you?
40588But I recovered, and said to myself,"What is the use of bewilderment now?
40588But I will tell you a strange fact; listen, for what can I hide from you?
40588But Jímútaváhana answered Garuda,"In truth I am a Nága; what is the meaning of this question of yours?
40588But Padmávatí thus answered him, Say to my father from me here--"What need of grief?
40588But Siva answered him,"How can I possibly have retained your wealth till now?
40588But could not the figures be cut in stone, as the Bharhut sculptures are?
40588But he hesitated, seeing that it was empty, and then the Yakshas again said to him, smiling--"Subhadatta, do you not understand?
40588But he himself again entered the women''s apartments of the palace; who, that is attracted by love and covetousness, thinks of death?
40588But he was not able to remove the hump; so he paid down the hundred panas; for who in this world would be able to make straight a hunchbacked man?
40588But his friends and relations said to him,"She is not dead, so why do you kill yourself?
40588But his ministers roused him by saying to him,''In this transient world what is there that hath permanence?
40588But his ministers said to him,"Did Visvámitra, though despondent, abandon life when Menaká had departed after giving birth to Sakuntalá?"
40588But his wife Kánchanaprabhá lived in her own city with her daughter; what virtuous wife would disobey her husband''s commands?
40588But how are you to search for your lover as he is not to be recognised by any token?
40588But how can I associate with a mortal lady, being a Vidyádhara?"
40588But how can it be otherwise?
40588But how can this be?
40588But how can those obtain their wishes, who are deceived by rogues?
40588But how comes it, that I am so lucky as to find her here?"
40588But if Indra makes himself a partizan[ 646] of Srutasarman, and violently opposes us, how are we to be blamed for it?
40588But if she is Rati, where is Káma?
40588But it never occurred to him to say to himself--"Who is mortally wounded?
40588But the blockhead answered,"How could I drink so much water as this?"
40588But the person challenged, being a man not easily abashed, made an appropriate reply,"Why are you perplexed by want of reflection?
40588But they, when they saw him fall down terrified, said to him kindly,"Who are you, and how have you managed to fall into this deep well?
40588But to whom is reliance upon treacherous people not a source of calamity?
40588But was not the fact that he married his son by means of a substitute, in itself sufficient proof that he was a fool and a scoundrel?"
40588But what am I saying?
40588But what generous man desires to possess a realm, if he must do so by slaying his relations for the sake of this wicked perishable body?
40588But what will not men of honour do to prevent their fame from being sullied?
40588But when she began to say to the king--"Where, O king, did you go only a moment ago, so as to return with your minister?"
40588But when the queen was bent on committing suicide, he consented, for how can men who are attracted by the objects of passion remain in the good path?
40588But where has Rati, his companion, gone?"
40588But why do I ask, Anangadeva, since I know all about him?
40588But why do you wish to abandon the body?
40588But why in spite of your better knowledge do you still fall in love with hetæræ?
40588But you must by no means enter Pátála, for what advantage will you gain by destroying the snakes at one blow?''
40588But, as Siva has decidedly girded up his loins to shew us favour, what is his power, or what will his reliance upon Vishnu do?"
40588But, even supposing he really is my beloved, how can I approach him, now that he is not in his own body, but in another body?
40588But, tell me, who are you that you take upon you to instruct me, you son of Ityaka?"
40588By the bye, have you not heard what happened to the Bráhman Agnisarman here?"
40588Can Siva''s promise be falsified?"
40588Can Syandana mean horses, like magni currus Achilli?
40588Can all these men be under the influence of an optical delusion?"
40588Can he be the very same?
40588Can he possibly be that very man?
40588Can it be Sávitrí come to bathe in the lake?
40588Can it be the god of Love new- created from his ashes without Rati?
40588Can not you, without going on pilgrimages, perform in your house noble religious duties, such as charity and so on, which will procure you heaven?"
40588Can one fetter a whirlwind with one''s arms?
40588Can she be a goddess, for her beauty is more than human?"
40588Can she be my beloved herself?
40588Can she be the form of the moon?
40588Can we avoid the effect of acts done in a previous state of existence?
40588Consequently, king, we are afraid to dwell anywhere; for whose mind is at ease after performing deeds of reckless temerity?
40588Consider how far off you are from the sea and from that city, and whether the journey is worth taking for the sake of that maiden?
40588Consider it yourself?
40588Could I bear even to mention the name of another woman?
40588Could any one by any artifice be introduced into this palace?"
40588Cursed Fate, why did you rescue me from the sea?
40588Darling, when this moon of your face is withdrawn, your father will fall into the darkness of grief, and how will he live to old age?
40588Did I order you not to eat?"
40588Did his heart break through grief at not having won the nymph himself?
40588Did not Arundhatí live in friendship with the daughter of king Prithu?
40588Did not Menaká leave Sakuntalá in the hermitage of Kanva?
40588Did not Nahusha and others of old time obtain the dignity of Indra?
40588Did not king Trivikramasena obtain of old time the sovereignty of the Vidyádharas by the favour of a Vetála?
40588Did you carry on your back your innocent husband, whom you threw into the river?
40588Did you not find those ministers, after they had been separated from you by the curse of the Nága?
40588Distant is the time, and the place, and various is the course of Fate; so who knows what will happen to any one here in the meantime?
40588Do you not know that such is the nature of the sinful vice of gambling?
40588Do you not know that the dice are the sidelong loving looks of the goddess of Ill Luck?
40588Do you not see that the death of all of us together is imminent?
40588Do you not understand my position, fair one?
40588Do you seek to be delivered from the world by binding yourself with the conceit of controversy?
40588Do you suppose that Siva, who declared that you should be man and wife, can say what is false?
40588Do your kind, for who, that is not foolish, would act[ 359] contrary to the purpose he had undertaken?"
40588Does any animal keep his heart outside his body?
40588Does he presume to give me orders and ask for my daughter as a tribute?
40588Does not the moon delay to shine, when the circle of the sun is eclipsed?
40588Does the fruit of the poison- tree of unrighteousness ever ripen sweet?"
40588Does time past ever return, O king?"
40588Especially are the twilight, the dawn, and Fortune shortlived, disappearing as soon as revealed; where and when have they been seen to abide?
40588Even while she was saying this, Muktáphalaketu said to her friend,"What did this young lady say?"
40588Even women, who see you,[ 699] are so much in love with your beauty that they desire to become men; so what man would not be a suitor for your hand?
40588For Ganesa inflicted on them this curse,''Let them become that on which their minds are fixed?''
40588For a brave man by himself without any support obtains prosperity; have you never heard à propos of this the tale of the brave man?"
40588For by his favour I have attained the grace of patience; to whom could I have shown patience, O goddess, if he had not acted thus towards me?
40588For he will have a battle with Srutasarman, and who can say what will befall either party in it?
40588For how can an evil deed audaciously done, the end of which is not considered through the mind being blinded with excessive hate, help bringing ruin?
40588For how can servants refuse the request of an importunate lord?
40588For it is suitable to you who possess all powers, but what, I pray, could a feeble creature, like me, do with it?"
40588For nothing is unattainable by those who possess endurance; who, my son, will not fail, if he allows his endurance to break down?
40588For of what calamities is not the blinding of the mind with excessive greed the cause?
40588For of what use is my life, unless I can return having seen that city, and obtain the princess as the prize of the achievement?"
40588For see, old age whispers at the root of my ear--''Since this body is perishable, why do you still remain in your house?''"
40588For she, being a forest maiden, has no attendants of her own, and what will not all alien servants do for gain, being easily corrupted?
40588For the stupid sleep resolutely, how can the understanding sleep?
40588For to whom is a treacherous injury done to another likely to be beneficial?
40588For what can make heavenly nymphs desire to hang themselves?
40588For what can not the grace of the Supreme Lord accomplish?
40588For what is not obtained by that?
40588For what is the use of life or courage, unless employed to succour the unfortunate?''
40588For what object of desire is there that a resolute man can not obtain, as long as he continues alive?
40588For what pleasure can a wise man take in a wicked place, the inhabitants of which are wanting in discrimination?
40588For what reliance can be placed on fickle fortunes and fickle women?
40588For whence can I obtain for this Rákshasa a victim, such as he has described?
40588For which of them does it exist, and which of them exists for it?
40588For who can deprive the fire of its tendency to burn?
40588For who can escape from the shadow of his own head, or the course of destiny?
40588For who gives anything to anybody?
40588For who is able to alter the actions of a man in his previous births?
40588For who is able to work such unrighteousness in my realm?"
40588For who is not deceived by the hypocritically affectionate speeches of a mother?
40588For who sees through the deceitfulness of the speeches of women uttered with affected simplicity?
40588For who would confine his attention to filling his belly?"
40588For whom does not love beguile?
40588Gunádhya for his part, when he heard it, was immediately overcome with sorrow; who indeed is not inly grieved when scorned by a competent authority?
40588Happen what will, I must give them my splendid elephant, for how can I let a suppliant go away without obtaining his desire, while I live?"
40588Has not Providence ordained for you the usual lot of the gambler?
40588Has she gone off with it?
40588Have I in my delusion eaten an incarnation of a Bodhisattva?
40588Have you forgotten the occasion on which I made you king?"
40588Have you forgotten?
40588Have you have not heard what happened to Pándu?"
40588Have you managed to pick up here another set of five maidens?"
40588Have you never heard the story of the donkey?"
40588Have you not heard on this point the saying of the hermit Vyása?
40588Have you not heard the legend of old days with regard to Rukminí?
40588Have you not heard the story of king Chiradátri, and his servant named Prasanga?"
40588Have you not heard the story of the adorable Bodhisattva in his former birth as a boar?
40588Have you not heard the story of the ape that drew out the wedge?"
40588Have you not heard, my friend, the story of the ass?"
40588Having come to this conclusion, the wily monarch went up to the thief; and the thief said to him with some trepidation,"Who are you, Sir?"
40588He asked her;"Who are you, and what lord do you lament?"
40588He asked the woman:"Who are you, mother, and why are you standing weeping here?"
40588He bowed, and then the king of Vatsa, after welcoming him, immediately asked him with curiosity:"Who are you, and what is your errand here?"
40588He flung himself on a bed and said to himself"Can this be my charmer''s face, or a moon that has purged away the spot that defiles its beauty?"
40588He has come here also, travelling in an air- going chariot; how can he, a mere man, have such power?"
40588He replied"when I told you to use sáma, I meant coaxing and wheedling; what is the propriety of introducing the Veda in a matter of this kind?
40588He replied,"I am one who gets his living by carrying burdens, and how am I to know the letters of the king''s name?
40588He said to her,"Who are you, and where are you going?"
40588He said to him,"Whereabouts here is Khandavataka?
40588He said to himself in astonishment,"Who may this lovely one be?"
40588He said to himself,"What can this mean?
40588He said to me,"Who are you, and how did you reach this uninhabited land?"
40588He said to me,''Friend, say, why do you allow yourself to be thus afflicted, though you are wise?
40588He said,"If I make it right, what will you give me?"
40588He said,"King, tell me, which of those three, who were blinded by passion, was the most infatuated?
40588He said,"What is that?"
40588He said--"O Tongue, what is this that you have done, through desire of enjoyment?
40588He says what is not true: where did we kill his buffalo or eat it?"
40588He thought to himself,"Who can this be?"
40588He thought to himself--"How can I shew to the queen my face marred with grey hairs like a snow- smitten lotus?
40588He thought to himself--"Who are these, and why do they deliberate so long?
40588He thought"Where is that Anangaprabhá?
40588He thought,"Can this be Samudradatta, and how can he have escaped after falling into the sea?
40588He thought,"This is a heavenly bull, so why should I not go to heaven with it?"
40588He thought,"What kind of animal is this, that makes such a sound?"
40588He thought--"What can the barber do?"
40588He was dissatisfied, saying to himself,"How shall I be helped to conquer my enemies by a single village that will rather disgrace me?
40588He, according to his previous promise, when thought of, readily came to the minister, and bowed before him and said--"Why am I called to mind?"
40588He, astonished, said to her--"Why do you speak thus?"
40588He, for his part, thought in his mind, deeming he had come upon Good Fortune in bodily form--"Who is the fortunate man destined to be her bridegroom?"
40588Her mother- in- law asked;"How did Saktimatí deliver her husband?
40588Here I am bound by magic, and on the floor, but my adversary here is on a seat, and free; what fair controversy can there be between us?"
40588His curse has been just now cancelled by virtue of your penance; so why do you now distrust the power of your own austerities?
40588His father thereupon said to him,"What does her plainness matter?
40588His father, annoyed at his persistence, cursed him and his wives, saying;''What need is there of your going to a wood of ascetics?
40588How are we to get her back, and how is she to be married?"
40588How came it that, though at first she was averse to a husband, she now showed such an insatiable appetite for husbands?
40588How can I act thus?
40588How can I give myself to them, when I am a Kshatriya woman?
40588How can I live without you?"
40588How can a crow and a female swan ever unite?
40588How can a servant exist without subsistence?"
40588How can a wise person conceal sorrow from friends?
40588How can a woman of Kshatriya caste be given to a Súdra weaver?
40588How can he have spoken anything unbecoming in speaking according to facts?
40588How can he, who confides in a wicked person or a black cobra, enjoy prosperity?"
40588How can prosperity befall those who walk in the path trodden by the ignoble?
40588How can proud men have happiness in a previous or in a present state of existence?
40588How can the mind help being amazed at pictures without walls?
40588How can the ungrateful prosper?
40588How can women be expected to restrain their speech?
40588How can you look with a passionless eye on me who love you so much?"
40588How comes it that her husband is now dead, though he has had no illness?
40588How comes it that in your parrot condition you know the sástras?
40588How comes it that to- night our husband has gone to sleep without any of his wives?"
40588How comes it that you are at the same time a religious student, eager for liberation, and a man afflicted with the madness of disputatiousness?
40588How comes it that you are now in love with an infamous brigand chief?"
40588How comes it that, though you are an elephant, and are subject to the fury of elephants, you speak in this gentle way?"
40588How comes it, that you are a young man, whereas these children of yours are old?"
40588How could he in his state of bereavement have ever thought of undertaking such a thing, if he had not hoped in that way to recover the queen?
40588How could you, son of Vinatá, do this thoughtless deed?"
40588How did you reach alone this inaccessible place?"
40588How have you come to forget that great principle?
40588How is it that I saw you lying dead on a sofa in the golden city, and yet see you here alive?"
40588How shall I exist abandoned by thee?"
40588How will Mrigánkadatta, who would suffer even in a palace, exist in this desert of burning sand?
40588How will your body, that could not endure to be anointed with the powder of yellow sandal- wood, endure the heat of the sun in the middle of the day?
40588How will your body, that would suffer even from the touch of the sun''s rays, be able to endure the agony of being devoured by Garuda?
40588However in a moment he said to himself,"This is no time for me to despond; why should I not recover firmness and strive to put an end to her curse?"
40588However, what afflicted one feels quite patient about an object much desired, even though it is soon to be attained?
40588I have been born in this race of fishermen for a very small offence owing to the might of cows, but what can atone for this man''s sin?"
40588I have killed this kápálika by the order of king Vikramáditya; pray what have you to do with him?"
40588I know this by my magic power; why are you so blinded with wrath that you can not see it?
40588I must give it away to my friends, and are not you my friends?
40588I said to myself,"Shall I ever again behold her face, which is the Creator''s storehouse of all the nectar of beauty?
40588I said,"How are we to look for her, when we do not even know in what direction she has gone?"
40588I see: this is why you are dressed so grandly, do not go to her, what have you to do with her?
40588I then sat down near the king and asked him this question--"Why, O king, art thou without cause thus despondent?"
40588I too am Samyataka the comrade of your beloved: why do you not say something kind to me, as I was cursed for you?"
40588I too cut off my head: what is the meaning of my being now alive?
40588I was overpowered with excess of joy, and I said to myself,"Can this be mere chance, or is it a dream, or sober waking reality?"
40588I, ill- fated wretch, am wonderfully deceived by some strange power; or rather, who on this earth knows what is the nature of destiny?"
40588If Fate has carried him off, what is the use of remaining here now?
40588If I betake myself to Siva or Vishnu, what value will they attach to me, when they have gods, hermits, and others to worship them?
40588If I desert the path of right, who will remain loyal to his duty?
40588If I do not obtain her as a wife, what other fruit of my asceticism can I obtain?"
40588If it succeeds, well and good; if it does not succeed, wherein am I the worse?"
40588If she is a mortal woman, why does she ride upon a lion?
40588If so, how is it that she gleams in the day?
40588If the glory of generosity, which I have long been acquiring in the worlds, were to wither, what would be the use to me of prosperity, or life?"
40588If the sword did this work on me, how are they in fault?
40588If this takes place, what difference will there be between gods and men?
40588If your agitation is due to pain, then perform good deeds; how can you be so foolish as to desire to incur the pains of hell by suicide?''
40588Immediately those attendants of Madirávatí said to the visitor,"Why do you seem so disturbed in mind, noble lady?"
40588In a tank outside that city I saw a woman washing clothes, and I put this question to her,"Where do travellers stay here?"
40588In his perplexity he asked,"What does this mean?"
40588In illustration of this, listen to this story of Sundarasena, and hear how he endured hardship for the sake of Mandáravatí?''
40588In the meanwhile Nischayadatta came to the ape, and his friend, welcoming him, asked him--"Why do I seem to see you in low spirits to- day?
40588In the meanwhile the blind man recovered a little, and the elephant said to him,"Tell me; who are you, and how did you come here, being blind?"
40588In the meanwhile the thief, who was hidden there, saw all, and said to himself,"What is this that this wicked woman has done?
40588In these words Siva promised me a meal, that is attended with uncertainty, and can not be obtained for a long time, so what must I do, my children?"
40588In time he grew old, and desisting from his occupation, he reflected;"What resources have I in the other world?
40588In what race was he born?
40588Into which hand am I to put the cake?"
40588Is he a Siddha or a Vidyádhara?
40588Is he the incarnation of the favour of Siva towards me, he being pleased with my song?"
40588Is it a dream or a delusion?"
40588Is it a dream, magic, or delusion?
40588Is it an illusion or a wandering of the mind?
40588Is it right for me to plot treachery against the monkey, who is my friend?
40588Is she sleeping a sleep from which there is no awaking, or is it a complete delusion on my part?
40588Is she the goddess Rati?
40588Is the last watch of the night a proper time for paying the first visit to a lady?"
40588Is there anything in these three worlds difficult for you to obtain?
40588Is this a delusion, or the manifest favour of the goddess?"
40588Is this deluding Vetála doing this now in order to waste my time?
40588Is water ever really found in desert- mirages?
40588It does not deny the state of affairs; besides how is it possible to conceal this trembling of the limbs and this bursting boddice?"
40588It is useless thinking of devices to produce fear; what are we ministers, to do with the king?"
40588Jímútaváhana said to him:"Who are you?
40588Kalávatí came to his side, thinking--"Now that I have been seen, how can I escape, shall I display shame or jealousy?"
40588Kesata was terrified at first, but after some time he saw that he had nothing uncanny about him, so he said to him,"Who are you, Sir?"
40588Know that my death will immediately follow if you refuse my prayer; in that case where will be your righteousness?''
40588Let him give commands to mortals, but who is he compared with Vidyádharas?
40588Look; I am perishing before I reach you; why do you not deliver me?"
40588Lovely as she is, if she does not become my wife, what is the profit of my life?"
40588Maya said--"Let us do so, what harm is there in this?"
40588Moreover you are not mighty, and you are not surrounded by mighty friends, so how can you possibly be capable of vanquishing that rival?
40588Moreover, have you not heard the stanza composed by Múladeva?
40588Moreover, how can a Kshatriya woman be given to a Vaisya?
40588Moreover, how have you forgotten what the goddess was pleased to tell you, when she told the story of the curse of Anangaprabhá?
40588Moreover, the king of the Kirátas is awaiting your coming from a distance in accordance with your agreement; how have you come to forget this?
40588Moreover, what could he do to you, when you arrived at his court, since you would take your army with you?
40588Moreover, where is your witness to prove the fact of the mother having promised her to you?
40588My servants told him my cause of woe, and he said,"Why have you, like an unenterprising man, allowed your spirits to sink?
40588Now why do you put up with it?
40588Of what avail is a candle in the face of the sun?"
40588Of what use is this body that brings only pain?"
40588Of what use is this kingdom to me, unless it is employed to benefit my fellow- creatures?
40588Of what virtuous father do you adorn the family?
40588On hearing that, the hen said--"Do not talk so; what comparison is there between you and the sea?
40588On the other hand how else can I cure my wife, whom I love more than my life?"
40588On the other hand, if she is divine, how can she be seen by such as me?
40588One day a serving maid of the name of Mochaniká came to him and said,--Illustrious Sir, unwittingly you have come hither to your death?
40588One day Ádityasarman asked her this question by the mouth of that mendicant:"Who knows the proper spell for attracting Sulochaná?"
40588Only half one watch of the day has passed: how can it be your time for begging now?"
40588Or a second moon roaming through the heaven without a spot on its surface?
40588Or are you planet- struck?
40588Or can it be Gaurí, who has slipped away from the arms of Siva, and again betaken herself to asceticism?
40588Or can it be the beauty of the moon that has taken upon herself a vow, as the moon has set, now that it is day?
40588Or has she hidden herself to find out my real feelings, and is making fun of me?"
40588Or how could Ayodeha have given his own body to Visvakarman?
40588Or is it the presiding goddess of the wood, come to worship the spring?"
40588Or is she a nymph of heaven?
40588Or is she happiness incarnate in bodily form?
40588Or is she the beauty of the moon, having taken shape,[ 489] or the command of Cupid living and walking?
40588Or of punishing this wicked woman?
40588Or rather on whom does not excessive compliance entail misfortune?
40588Or rather who can resist the awful goddess of Destiny, that ever places her foot upon the heads of all men?"
40588Or rather who knows the creation of Destiny that is full of so many marvels?
40588Or rather, what fault is that miserable Vidyádhara guilty of?
40588Or shall I not enter it?
40588Or was it because he longed for the sovereign power, and thus was disappointed at the king''s return?
40588Or were they both carried off by some being?"
40588Or what is this delusion of attributing reality to the creation of your own desire, that has taken possession of your passionate heart?
40588Or who has power to enter my harem?"
40588Or why do you put out of sight this unalterable nature of things?
40588Otherwise, how, being mortals, could they have come to this region of the gods?"
40588Otherwise, what is the use of incurring needlessly the guilt of killing a Bráhman?"
40588Otherwise, what is the use of this beauty?"
40588Our throne has been victorious over its enemies; is there one more powerful in the whole world?
40588Poverty makes men steal, and who ever gave up what he had found?
40588Powers are strictly limited: can water quench the flame of lightning?"
40588Prajnádhya again said to her--"Why do you enter in this sudden way when a man is sleeping at his ease?
40588Sasin said,"You fool, what have you to do with her?
40588She agreed, and went to Kalyánavarman and told him that falsehood, and he answered:"Lady, I am a merchant''s son, what can I do against the king?"
40588She alarmed, said--"Why are we stopped, and why are you outside?"
40588She answered him,"How can a pauper, like you, afford this?"
40588She exclaimed,"Where have I arrived?
40588She exclaimed,"this is strange; how did you guess the meaning of that sign of mine?"
40588She faltered out,"Where are you going?
40588She for her part thought--"Why is my husband angry without my being guilty; I wonder whether Bálavinashtaka has been at any tricks?"
40588She has left my protection and gone elsewhere, how could I endure that?"
40588She laughed, and said,"What do you want with her?"
40588She reflected--"It is not fitting that I should go to my father''s house after acting thus; what should I say there, and how would people believe me?
40588She replied,"Who, noble sir, will give alms to me who am a woman?"
40588She said to her husband,"Though I take affectionate care of him, he is nevertheless the strange object you see; what am I to do with him?"
40588She said to herself,"Is it possible that he has been reduced to this stage of love''s malady by separation from her?"
40588She said--"Can this be the moon, that has swooped down from heaven in pursuit of the goddess of Fortune fallen into a cluster of lotuses of the lake?
40588She too endured patiently to be placed on the shoulder of a very loathsome Rákshasa; what will not women do when mastered by affection?
40588She with affected grief said to him,"If some one were to slay thee, what would become of me?"
40588She, for her part, entertained him, and made him take a seat, and feeling love for him, said,"Who are you, noble sir?"
40588She, for her part, when she beheld that king with all the auspicious bodily marks, said to herself,"Who can this exceedingly distinguished man be?"
40588She, with heart captivated by the beauty of his eyes said to him,"How came such a handsome man as you to undertake such a severe vow as this?
40588Since she does not love her husband, how is it possible that she can love you?
40588Siva having thus finished his speech, Mádhava said,"Do not say this, you are honourable, but what fault have I committed in the matter?
40588Siva, for his part, after some days said to the chaplain:"How long am I to feast in your house in this style?
40588So I went up to him and said,"For what price will you give me this bedstead?"
40588So Vidúshaka then became equal to a chieftain, for how can a benefit conferred on great persons fail of bearing fruit?
40588So am I not fortunate, since I have such a husband as you, whom princesses fall in love with, that are themselves sought by other kings?"
40588So away with delusions?"
40588So being compassed about with enemies, where shall I go, what shall I do?
40588So far from it, we shall live happily in mutual friendship; but what intercourse can I hold with those others who will be my enemies?
40588So first shew me Prasenajit, and then take me there, where the king of Vatsa is; what do I care for my father, or my mother?"
40588So he asked a physician named Srutavardhana--"Is there any medicine able to bring about the birth of a son?"
40588So he asked the women, after they had filled their pitchers with water, in a courteous manner;"For whom are you taking this water?"
40588So he said to him in joke,"Cowherd, is any young woman in love with you, that you sing thus in your rapture, counting the world as stubble?"
40588So he went up to him and said,"Who are you, and what are you doing in this solitary place?"
40588So he went up to him, with his followers, and said to him;"Reverend sir, why do you live alone in this forest in which there is no hermitage?"
40588So how am I to be continually procuring fresh razors?
40588So how can I eat you now?
40588So how can I marry that Kalingasená?"
40588So how can I now make her a recompense, in order that my vow may in course of time be fully accomplished?"
40588So how can I revenge myself on him for this ill turn, and how can I reach him who has become a Vidyádhara?
40588So how can continual refreshment and eating nourish me?"
40588So how can we do otherwise than spare his life?
40588So if she will not consent to become my wife, what is the profit of my life?
40588So if you touch me by force, I will abandon life, for what woman of good family will injure her husband?
40588So is not he a man to whom food ought to be given?"
40588So it will be better now to find out whether the strict ascetic on the banks of Siprá named Siva pleases him or not?"
40588So let her do what she is doing?"
40588So of what comfort is this husband to me?
40588So of what use is sovereignty to us?
40588So reflecting, he began to reproach that religious student,"Tell me, religious student, what is the meaning of this inconsistent conduct on your part?
40588So rise up quickly my friend, let us go; you also will find your wife, if you search for her; who knows the way of Destiny?
40588So shall I enter the fire?
40588So she said,"Who is this skull- bearer?
40588So tell me, king, to which of the two does that wife belong?
40588So tell me, king; why are you so persistent about her, though you know all this?
40588So tell me, what lands have you wandered through, and what novel sights have you seen?"
40588So tell us, wise man, what mean you by embracing that corpse?"
40588So that king perished, though of firm soul, being deprived of Unmádiní; but what will become of the lord of Vatsa without Vásavadattá?
40588So those Bráhmans perished by making the fatal mistake of creating a lion: for who can give joy to his own soul by raising up a noisome beast?
40588So true is it, that intellect always obtains the supremacy, triumphing over valour, indeed in such cases what could courage accomplish?
40588So we, O king, ran after him, and cut off his foot; what man of our humble degree is able to disobey the command of a ruler?"
40588So what are we to do in this difficulty?"
40588So what are you doing here so long?
40588So what confidence, your Royal Highness, can be placed in women?
40588So what course must I adopt in this emergency?"
40588So what have we to do with this matter which has been settled by the lord Siva?
40588So what have you to fear?
40588So what is the meaning of this love of yours for the bull, O king?
40588So what is the use of a sure revelation by a goddess in a dream, when Fate is adverse?
40588So what is the use of delay?
40588So what is the use of flesh?
40588So what is the use of my life?
40588So what is the use of my marrying Kalingasená?
40588So what is the use of our penetrating the mind of the king of beasts?"
40588So what pleasure can wise men take in these perishable objects?
40588So where, my prince, have you all remained so long?
40588So who is it that you embrace, or who has been bitten by the serpent?
40588So why are you so distracted about an event, which was destined to take place?
40588So why did you make this attempt yesterday though you were forbidden to do so by me?
40588So why do you despond in the midst of this joy?"
40588So why do you fear without reason, though you know this well enough?"
40588So why do you offer me false comfort?"
40588So why do you say that king Súdraka was more heroic than these?"
40588So why do you think more highly of Vírabáhu than of the other?"
40588So why do you torment yourself about a matter of this kind, which is quite becoming, and can be easily arranged by an ambassador?"
40588So why does this base owl, who can not see in the day, deserve a throne?
40588So why should I desert such a husband and fall in love with a common fellow?
40588So why should I not devise some stratagem for obtaining him?''
40588So why should I not gratify Durgá by sacrificing myself?"
40588So why should I stand here and behold their faces?"
40588So why should not I do the same by expending my asceticism upon it?"
40588So why should there be any delay?
40588So why should you grieve?
40588So why, my friend, do you weary yourself in vain?
40588So with what object, father, do we keep for ourselves such an unfailing wishing- tree, as all these phenomenal conditions are but momentary?
40588So, how can he be unsuccessful in fight?
40588So, how long am I to retain this wretched life?
40588So, if I do not show devotion to my parents, what fruit shall I reap from my body?"
40588So, if I have to- day recovered my own wife, and carried her off, what harm have I done?''
40588So, king, why do creatures like you fear a mere sound?
40588So, my good sir, what desire have you for me to accomplish for you?"
40588So, what is all this outcry that thou art making against Maya, what offence has he committed herein?
40588So, why should I not abandon my hopeless life, before I hear of some misfortune happening to my father or to my lover in battle?
40588Some one said to him:"Why do you not drink water, though you are thirsty?"
40588Srídarsana approached him, and made himself known to him, and then girding up his loins, he said,"Tell me, what shall I do for you?"
40588Sundarasena answered the king of the Bhillas,"What does it matter who I am, or whence I come?
40588Supposing a second is not born to you, what will you do?"
40588Surely he must be some god that has penetrated into this well- guarded room?"
40588Tell me the name of the man whose life and property I am to take by way of punishment?"
40588Tell me, do you approve of this step or not?"
40588Tell me, for why should you distrust loving modest attendants?
40588Tell me, friend, what pleasure can wretched bereaved ones, like myself, to whom everything in the world is turned upside down, find in life?"
40588Tell us why thou wanderest here alone without that fragrant artillery of thine, and where is that Rati thy constant companion?"
40588That Vetála came, as soon as the king called him to mind, and bowing before him said,"Why did you call me to mind, great king?
40588That father too embraced him and asked him in the presence of all,--"Do you remember both your lives, my son?"
40588That king of beasts said in astonishment,"What is this creature?"
40588That moment he summoned me and said,"What does this mean?"
40588The Bráhman said,"What am I to do there"?
40588The Vetála asks,"Which of these four deaths was the most extraordinary?"
40588The Vetála then said,"Why, what did the king do?
40588The Yakshí said,"How can I ever, king, recompense you for your benefits?
40588The adorable god was asked by Durgá--"Whence, my lord, comes thy delight in skulls and burning- places?"
40588The assessors said to Ityaka,"While the father is alive, what authority has the mother?
40588The brave man said,"If I had not slain the Rákshasa in fight, who would have brought this maiden back here in spite of all your exertions?
40588The bull said to him,"Friend, why are you in this state?
40588The fact is they have been devoured in that tree by a demon, and without them what is Sasánkavatí to me, or what is my life worth to me?
40588The fact is, I suppose, that stupidity is engrained in a man who muddles his head with the Vedas?"
40588The first said,"This Bráhman gave me a cow with a sacrificial fee: why will he not receive it from my hand, when I offer to give it back to him?"
40588The fool said"Who will teach me?"
40588The giant awoke and called"Are you asleep?"
40588The jackal answered him;"The creature never possessed ears or a heart,--otherwise how could he have returned when he had once escaped?"
40588The jackal answered,"What can be healthy with a servant?
40588The jackal said,"Why do you endure all this toil?
40588The king asked her the reason, and she said with apparent reluctance--"My husband, why do you endure patiently the disgrace of your house?
40588The king asked,"Whence comes this sound of a drum?"
40588The king inclining before him, said to him,"Who art thou, and why hast thou descended from heaven?"
40588The king said to Sanvarasiddhi,"Have you really seen that city?"
40588The king said to him,"Wicked Bráhman, do you try to kill a woman, and for her sake set on fire your neighbours''houses?
40588The king said,"Who art thou, and why dost thou weep?"
40588The king thought--"Why has she put herself in this position?"
40588The king welcomed the Bráhman who blessed him in return, and then Vibhíshana said,"Bráhman, how did you manage to reach this country?"
40588The king woke up in a state of alarm, crying out,"What is the meaning of this?"
40588The merchant''s wife then and there said to him,"Who are you?"
40588The minister said,"This is strange, my son; what can you do with this head of mine?
40588The object of my vow is, that that king may be announced by the heralds as waiting at the door; do you assist me in that?"
40588The officers of the court said,"This is impossible, how could a kite carry off a boy?"
40588The one said,''My friend, why is Kalávatí distressed to- day?''
40588The queen Madanamanchuká playfully said to him on his return,"Where have you been, my husband?
40588The queen said to him--"She was proclaimed by the gods as the destined wife of Naraváhanadatta, our future emperor, why is she not given to him?"
40588The queen said,"How comes it that our son, though born in a royal family, has fallen in love with a girl of the lowest[ 620] caste?"
40588The second is a Vaisya, and what is the use of his knowing the language of cattle, and so on?
40588The sons said,"Why did the fish laugh?"
40588The teacher said,"What sort of creature is a cat?
40588The thief answered her,"What do I care for those gems, fair one?
40588The thief said;"I will carry off the oxen first, for if you lay hold of the Bráhman first, and he wakes up, how can I get the yoke of oxen?"
40588The two Bráhman youths said with astonishment to one another,--"What does this mean?"
40588The very horse, for which I abandoned my native land, is dead; so how can we travel on foot through this forest at night?"
40588The warder said:"When a man''s head is cut off, does he live even if you give him a hundred heads?"
40588The young merchants asked--"How have you obtained untold wealth by the assistance of a pupil?"
40588Then Asokadatta said,"Who would go there at night?
40588Then Bhímabhata said to her,"Fair one, why do you allow your heart to exhibit shame, though its feelings have been already revealed?
40588Then Brahmá answered him,--"How can I help being pleased with one, who fights for so long with this Prabhása?
40588Then Brahmá said,"Am I not also anxious to bring about the same end?
40588Then Chirajívin said to the king of the owls,"What is the use to me of life, now that I am in this state?
40588Then Chirajívin said,"What truce?
40588Then Chitragupta, who was disguised as a Bráhman, said,"Why do you neglect Siva, and Vishnu, and the other gods, and devote yourself to Chitragupta?"
40588Then Devasmitá seeing her, of her own accord sent a maid, and had her brought in, thinking to herself,"What can this person be come for?"
40588Then Gautama said to Ahalyá;"Who is here?"
40588Then Gomukha, who read his master''s soul, began to ask her attendants--"Who is she, and whose daughter is she?"
40588Then Gunasarman said--"King, who told you such a falsehood, who painted this aerial picture?"
40588Then Harasvámin standing below called all the Bráhmans who were above, one by one, by name, and said to them,"What delusion is this, Bráhmans?
40588Then I and all my relations came in, hearing the cries, and when we saw her, we said,"Tell us, what is the matter?"
40588Then I fearlessly drew my dagger with a frown, and said to her,"Have you seen such a man as this?"
40588Then I said again to him,"My fine fellow, what will you do with them?"
40588Then I said to him,"Who are you, and how do you know that?"
40588Then I said,"Fair one, what is your cause of alarm?
40588Then I said,"I will take it off your hands; what price do you want for it?"
40588Then Jímútaváhana said to an attendant of hers,"What is your friend''s auspicious name, and what family does she adorn?"
40588Then Karataka said--"What business is this of ours?
40588Then Kálarátri said;"If you know what is right, then grant me my life, for what righteousness is greater than the saving of life?"
40588Then Mahásena said to Sundarasena,"My son, why do you so improperly conceal this attachment of yours?
40588Then Mahásena, coming in, and seeing her in that condition, said--"What is this, my beloved?
40588Then Mrigánkadatta said to the Bráhman Srutadhi,"Why do you remain silent, Bráhman, like one taking no interest in the proceedings?
40588Then Mrigánkadatta''s friend Srutadhi, observing that the Bhilla had come with his warder, said to him,"Why should you play dice?
40588Then Mrigánkadatta, after his minister had been somewhat restored, said to him;"Tell me, my friend, what adventures have you had?"
40588Then Nischayadatta said to her with eyes gushing with tears--"Wicked female, how could you thus deceive me who reposed confidence in you?
40588Then Padmávatí, in her agitation, said to that friend,"Why do you weary yourself in vain?
40588Then Prachandasakti said to that elephant,"Now great- souled one, tell me your history; who are you?
40588Then Rambhá said to him sarcastically--"I suppose, mortal, you know this heavenly dance, do you not?"
40588Then Rudrasarman said to that second wife,"How comes it that you have neglected this child of mine that has lost its mother?"
40588Then Saktideva said to her,"Then why all this perturbation?
40588Then Sangataka said, King why do you grieve without cause?
40588Then Siddhikarí, feigning ignorance, said to the Domba,"How is the noose slipped round the neck?
40588Then Siva said to him,"Why have you gone through so much toil and hardship?
40588Then Siva said,"How can I take a wife, for I will not marry a woman from any low family?"
40588Then Srídarsana woke up in his own palace, and seeing himself decked with the ornaments of a lady, he thought,"What does this mean?
40588Then Srídarsana, knowing that his rival was possessed by a Vetála, said to him,"What proof is there that you are his friend?
40588Then Vidyunmálá disappeared, and Ádityasarman asked that Yakshiní, whom the hermit had obtained,"Is there any Yakshiní superior to Vidyunmálá?"
40588Then Vindhyaketu, having consoled them both, said to that merchant,"How came you to carry off the wife of one who confided in you?"
40588Then Víravara said,--"Then, goddess, tell it me at once, in order that I may quickly put it in operation: otherwise what is the use of my life?"
40588Then a certain makara dwelling in that lake, seeing him carrying off fish, said:--"Whither are you taking the fish?"
40588Then a feast was made, and the king recovered his normal condition, and said in private to his minister,--"Did you observe the devotion of Kumudiká?"
40588Then all the by- standers were bewildered thinking--"What can this mean?"
40588Then he asked the hermit in his joy the following question,"Tell me, reverend sir, how was she my wife before?"
40588Then he cried aloud,"Who asked the king for water?"
40588Then he said to his general Harisikha:"What may be the cause of this sudden great noise of drums outside?"
40588Then he said to the king,"Did you hear what the crow said?
40588Then his friend said,"How will that hermit''s pupil, who has been made your vehicle by a curse, submit to me?"
40588Then his minister Gomukha, after all had sat down, asked her,"Who are you, auspicious one, and for what reason have you come here?"
40588Then his relations came there, and after they had seen his body, they said,"If he was killed by thieves, why did they not carry off anything?"
40588Then his son said;"Why surely we may see a fire burning near us on this side, and it is very large, so why should I not go there and warm my body?
40588Then his teacher said to him,"My son, I am afraid you have made some mistake in this incantation, otherwise how can the fire have become cool to you?
40588Then his wife Asrutá asked him again and again lovingly,"Tell me, my husband, why do you remain so long fixed in thought?"
40588Then how can I make him my son- in- law and my submissive ally?
40588Then how shall I make it current?
40588Then in astonishment I asked Prapanchabuddhi--"Why do you court me with such splendid jewels?"
40588Then in his astonishment he asked them"Why?"
40588Then king Brahmadatta said to those celestial swans,"How did Muktáphalaketu kill that Vidyuddhvaja?
40588Then my father gave me a kick, and said,''Why do you go to sleep?''
40588Then one of those young Bráhmans said to him respectfully,"King, how can we tell our secret in the presence of a man of your worth?
40588Then queen Gunavará delighted, said to him,"My son, what has not that Rúpasikhá done for you?
40588Then she answered him--"If it is to be so, why should we not go there immediately in this chariot of yours that flies through the air?
40588Then she said decidedly,"How can I return to that spiritless avaricious man, who sold me to another man without the excuse of distress?"
40588Then she said to Somaprabhá--"Old age has chosen him for her own, what other female will choose him?"
40588Then she, seeing that his mind was troubled, asked him anxiously,"My husband, why are you seized to- day with a sudden fit of despondency?"
40588Then that chaplain went on to say to him,"Do not say that, great Bráhman, do you not know the due order of the periods in the life of a Bráhman?
40588Then that good man said to me,"Why, though wise, are you bewildered?
40588Then that second person said to Srídarsana,"I will not let the dead man go; I am his friend; what have you to do with him?"
40588Then the Vetála said,"Was not Víravara greater, for his equal is not found on this earth?
40588Then the Vidyádharas said to him,"Tell us, king; who is to occupy half your throne, and to be anointed as queen consort?"
40588Then the Yaksha her husband said to her;"What have you seen?"
40588Then the blockhead exclaimed;"I have been cheated; why did I not eat this cake, which has allayed the pangs of hunger, first of all?
40588Then the boy said to me,"Did not Vishnu, as soon as he was born, stride across the earth, in the form of a dwarf, and make it tremble?
40588Then the cunning Múladeva, who was near the king, said,"King, are there no good women, though some are bad?
40588Then the eager king said to her with an affectionate manner,"Worthy lady, what auspicious family is adorned by this friend of yours?
40588Then the eldest said,"What, do you not know how fastidious I am?
40588Then the hermit Nárada came and said to the king,"Prince, what means this striving after things out of your reach, though you know policy?
40588Then the heroic king answered in a carelessly negligent tone,"This garden is sufficient entertainment for me: what other entertainment do I require?"
40588Then the hunter asked him"Are you Srídatta?"
40588Then the king at last comforted his daughter, and said to her,"Why did you abandon, my daughter, the happiness of a palace, and act thus?
40588Then the king being astonished said,"Then how have you managed to come so far on foot?"
40588Then the king full of curiosity assembled all the citizens, and said to that lady disguised as a merchant,"What is your petition?"
40588Then the king knew that it was possessed by a Vetála, and said without flinching,"Why do you laugh?
40588Then the king of the owls said to another minister, named Vakranása,"What ought we to do?
40588Then the king said to his daughter Anangarati,"My daughter, which of these four heroes do you prefer?"
40588Then the king said to them,"Who are you, and why are you in the forest?"
40588Then the king told her who he was, and why he had come; then he said to her,"Tell me, who are you, fair one?
40588Then the king, in great despondency, said to Asokakarí, who was wounded,"What is the meaning of this?
40588Then the lion said,"What is the use of eating such a small creature as you?"
40588Then the maiden said,"King, do not speak thus, I am not of a deceitful disposition, and who would think of cheating one so worthy of respect?
40588Then the merchant''s son said,"Do not take the necklace, my friend, it is an illusion, else why do not these soldiers see it?"
40588Then the minister Sumantra said to the king to comfort him,"Why do you appear as if you do not understand the matter?
40588Then the musician came and asked the rich man for the panas, but he said;"What did you give me, that I should make you a return?
40588Then the other said,"I did not receive it first, and I did not ask for it, then why does he wish to make me receive it by force?"
40588Then the others who were there laughed, and said to him,"Why should he speak?
40588Then the prince said to Dridhabuddhi,"Who can this be?
40588Then the queen said to him,"Of what nature was that tale?"
40588Then the thief said,"How can I, who am a thief, let you go?"
40588Then they answered me;"Why do you ask such a question?
40588Then they put this question to Ityaka,"Now do you tell us why you carried her off?"
40588Then they said;"Why fret yourself?
40588Then why do you speak thus?"
40588Then, being reduced to poverty, he said to his wife;"My dear, how can I, who am reduced from riches to poverty, live among my relations?
40588Then, in confidential conversation, Manorathaprabhá put the following question to Makarandiká;"Fair one, why do you not wish to be married?"
40588There an old gambler said to the others,"This fellow is all but dead; so what is the good of throwing him into a well now?
40588There he remained performing his duties with anxious mind, which seemed ever to ask him, why he left his wife there in a state of intoxication?
40588There he saw a great many heaps of bones, and he said to Mitrávasu,"What creatures are these whose bones are piled up here?"
40588There is war between the crows and the owls from time immemorial; who will go to them?
40588There, in the midst of great rejoicing Dírghadarsin remained despondent; how can good ministers be happy, when their lord''s vices are incurable?
40588Therefore take him with you: what harm can there be in it, he is your brother?"
40588Thereupon Vámadatta told him his whole story from the beginning, and his guest said to him,"What is the use of this persistent revenge?
40588Thereupon a Rákshasa came with a wand in his hand, and said to him,"Mortal, why have you sat down here on the king''s throne?"
40588Thereupon his friend went on to say to him,"Then let this guest come with you; is he not our friend also?
40588They said to him,"Who are you, friend, and who is this lady, and where are you going?"

40588This is that very Jímútaváhana, who sacrifices his life for others, the renown of whose glory pervades all these three worlds?
40588Thus reflecting, the king sent for that excellent bard, and said to him,"How is it, my good friend, that you are never seen in the palace?"

40588When he had been thus admonished, he offered water to his parents, and put another question to that science,"Where is my uncle Gopálaka now?
40588When he had given his friends this lesson, they abandoned discontent, the source of crime; to whom is not association with the good improving?

40588When he said this, Agnidatta answered him, smiling,"If even you show so much infatuation, what are we to expect from others?
40588When he said this, Damayantí asked him--"If it is so, how did you become deformed?"
40588When he said this, Gomukha replied to him smiling,"Do princes reprove with their own mouths an ill- behaved servant?
40588When he said this, Raktáksha laughed and said to him;"By the favour of our master you will be well enough off: what need is there of fire?
40588When he said this, all the ministers laughed at him, and Naraváhanadatta said to the minister Marubhúti:"What are you thinking about, you fool?
40588When he said this, she answered, as fate would have it,"Why do you boast?
40588When he said this, she, being afraid, said,"What does that matter to you?
40588When he saw Chandrasvámin, he said to him,"Who are you?"

40588Why trouble her further on false grounds?
40588Why was I captivated by her?
40588Why, fair one, is it your duty not to allow your heart to attach itself to him?
40588Why, through ignorance, have you fallen like moths into burning fire?"
40588Will not a person possessed by a demon eat his own flesh with his teeth?"
40588Will not that same great plant of policy, watered with the streams of expedient, and nourished with due time and place, truly bring forth fruit?"
40588Would not I have sacrificed myself, if the object could have been attained by the sacrifice of any victim but our son?
40588Yasovarman said to the merchant out of curiosity--"Great merchant, why do you eat so little?"
40588You are a distinguished hero, you are a disputant of the Kshatriya caste; why do you remain silent?
40588You can attain all the results you desire by my possession of the science; why do you shew this persistence?
40588You have already conquered the Himálayas, the home of the Vidyádharas, so what need have you of Meru the home of the gods?
40588You know how all living creatures in the world fear death: so why do you slay without cause these poor deer?
40588You ought to punish him, why do you offer to give me to him?
40588You take good care of your own children; why do you perpetually torment me?"
40588You that used to love me so well, what has made you cruel to me?
40588Your mother has only recently gone to heaven, and now that I have lost so good a wife, how can I desire another?"
40588Your person is inviolable, so what can we do?"
40588Your wife is at present in love with another, so how can she shew you affection?
40588[ 144] When the prince heard that, he propitiated the female ascetic and said to her;"Who is this Mrigánkalekhá?
40588[ 146] What does the cold moon profit a shivering man, or what is the use of a cloud when winter has arrived?
40588[ 155] She said,"who art thou, illustrious sir, and for what reason hast thou entered our home on this occasion?"
40588[ 179] Cathay?
40588[ 209] When Vinítamati''s father said this to him, he answered,--"My father, how can men like me contend with weak women?
40588[ 232] So why do you refuse to take food?
40588[ 232] Then he, full of curiosity, thought for a moment,"Can this be sleep or delusion?
40588[ 253]"When Chakradhara made this proposal to the Bráhmans, Vidúshaka, who was standing near, said to them;"Do this, what is there to be afraid of?"
40588[ 273] Böhtlingk and Roth give upasankhya as überzählig(?).
40588[ 311] For were not the sages long ago angry with Siva in the devadáru- wood, being afraid that their wives would go astray?
40588[ 31] I prefer the reading kas of the Sanskrit College MS., and would render,"Whom can the king make his equal?
40588[ 323] But who knows the way of the mighty god Fate, in that you suddenly fixed your mind on pilgrimage to holy waters and other sacred places?
40588[ 341] He said to himself,"Can this be Rati come in person to gather the flowers accumulated by spring, in order to make arrows for the god of love?
40588[ 347] What but ridicule can ever be the portion of the over- greedy?
40588[ 372] She next asked him,"By what road did you go there, and what is it like?"
40588[ 391] And what greater merit can there be than the benefiting of all creatures?
40588[ 439] And did not Visvámitra leave his asceticism when he beheld Menaká?
40588[ 453] And the other is like it; say, what is there attractive in these?"
40588[ 498] When the king heard that, he sent for the merchant, and said to him--"Tell me, who fetched you the nágabalá?"
40588[ 507] And putting the betel into my mouth, I said to that dear companion of hers,"What can I say more than this, my good girl?
40588[ 556] So why do you run after Bandhudattá, who is a friend of witches?
40588[ 562] But such is this world, full of marvels, full of frauds; who can fathom it, or the sea, at any time?"
40588[ 614] Then the Daitya said to her,"Why, who can slay me who am of adamantine frame?
40588[ 635] And when Siva the god of gods is worshipped, what god is not worshipped?
40588[ 63] They said to their mother,"Why was he not killed to- day?"
40588[ 662] And how could one like me captivate the soul of a man who, when roaming in the air, beheld Kámachúdámani?"
40588[ 713] The three India Office MSS., read purasatair,"hundreds of cities?"
40588[ 749] When we saw this, we were astonished and we said to one another,"What can this wonder mean?
40588[ 753] He said--"What is the use of this profitless body that is dead even while alive?
40588[ 825] When this was said to the boy, he was put to shame; so he went and said to his mother,"Mother, who and where is my father?
40588[ 82] The good Bráhman lady said,"Who will give me alms in this vessel, for I am a woman?"
40588[ 83] He had made money without capital, so his achievements are compared to pictures suspended in the air?
40588am I dead?
40588am I mortally wounded by my enemies?"
40588and asked him courteously;"Are you the elder brother of Rájyadhara, skilled in various very great mechanical contrivances?"
40588brothers, what are we to do?
40588did he go there, and was my brother not able to devour him?
40588did you not keep any for Gunavará?
40588did you not see, what she told you by her signs?
40588do maidens obtain husbands by worshipping Ganesa?"
40588do you dare to sleep, when you are at war with king Vikramáditya?"
40588do you suppose, prince, that this great city could ever be stormed by us, who are so few in number?
40588do you wish to smite a jasmine flower with a thunder- bolt, in that you desire to employ a weapon against this tender form?"
40588has this handsome man no one to anoint his back?
40588has this maiden, after rejecting kings who asked for her hand, fallen in love with me?
40588has this merchant, though my friend, robbed me of my wife?
40588have these miserable wretches left this unfortunate woman alone?
40588have we entered the house of a profligate woman?
40588how baffled?"
40588how can this evildoer eat the flesh of cows, those animals that are the object of veneration to the three worlds?"
40588how comes it that a wild elephant conducts itself like a man?
40588how have you suddenly come to make this mistake?"
40588how is this that you have neglected to arrive at my dinner hour, or what worse penalty than death can I inflict on you, scoundrel?"
40588how shall I be able to pass a year, long as a thousand years, without the queen Madanasundarí, whom I value more than my life?"
40588how shall I live in the body of a sow, and after that in the mire?"
40588how shall I obtain the lotus- like heart of a monkey?
40588is he the god of love, without his flowery bow?
40588is there not a banyan- tree and a tank on the east side of the village?
40588is this my brother Asokadatta come here?"
40588is this my uncle Vigatabhaya, who long ago went to a foreign country, and do I now by good luck find him established in the position of a minister?"
40588my beloved Padmávatí, do you not see that when I was a Vidyádhara, I incurred a curse in Meghavana for your sake?
40588my beloved with face like the moon''s orb, fair as the moonlight; did this night grudge your existence, hating your charms that rival hers[ 332]?
40588my female swan?''"
40588shall he slay the king''s daughter while I am alive?
40588she is in love with another man, she must certainly go; why should I make her break her word?
40588son, the only scion of our family, where shall I behold you again?
40588tell me why you have become thus?"
40588the ways are seen to be lighted up by the moonlight, as if whitened with plaster, so why should I not go there and roam about?
40588though it has cost me hundreds of hardships to reach this city, I can not even enter it; what chance then have I of obtaining my beloved?"
40588what can I give to the king?"
40588what can that miserable Yakshiní do to us?
40588what does this mean?"
40588what friendship can there be between the eater and his prey?"

40588what is your descent, and what do you know?"
40588what means this?
40588what means this?"
40588what wretch is able to injure me?"
40588when Kali reduced Nala to such a state, say, what will be the lot of other mortals, who are like worms compared with him?
40588where will you go, thus carrying off the wife of another?
40588who can this girl be?
40588who except thee is a man of valour?
40588who has rubbed salt into my wounds?"
40588who is it?"
40588whom will not excessive desire of gain delude, since I rashly made such a promise before the queen?
40588why did I foolishly abandon you in the wilderness and make you the prey of lions and tigers?
40588why do you abandon your rank as a Vidyádhara, and follow this inhabitant of earth named Súryaprabha?"
40588why do you not listen to the blessing of such a one as I am?
40588why do you trouble yourselves about the speech of this babbler?
40588why have you taken to- day one karsha more of ghee than the small amount allowed to you, and eaten meat- curry, and drunk a pala of milk?"
40588will the king punish you, if you drink it all up?"
40588you are a fool: what man does anything for any one, or gives anything to any one?
40588you avert disgrace from others, why do you not avert it from yourself?

15476Always attentive to the duties of hospitality, she worshipped the guest with due rites, and welcoming him, said,''What can I do for you?''
15476Am I not armed with a formidable mace that looks like a cliff of Himavat?
15476Amongst these three, which is the foremost, which the second, and which the last, in point of importance?
15476Amongst these two, viz., the duties of domesticity and those of Yoga, both of which lead to the same end, which is superior?"
15476Amongst those duties what are those few that should, according to thee, be preferred to all others for observance?
15476And for what purpose is that soul which does not subjugate the senses and abstain from evil acts?''"
15476And he asked the Kshatriyas present there, saying,"Where is the king, that great car- warrior?"
15476And how did those three, Kripa and others, do?
15476And how was my son Duryodhana slain by Bhimasena of great might?''
15476And in what their status of humanity?''
15476And they asked one another, saying:--''What deity is this one that has attained to such a high end?
15476And what are those acts which he must do for being freed from sin?
15476And what conduct also should the king adopt?
15476And what is his course?"
15476And what of pouring libations upon the fire?''
15476And what, indeed, is the refuge of that wisdom?''"
15476And who alone amongst them does not quarrel?''
15476And who is the Pitri of the Pitris?
15476And why also didst thou fall into hell?
15476And why did he die?
15476And why is the latter called Kshetrajna?
15476Approaching Kausika then, that speaker of truth, they asked him saying,''O holy one, by which path have a multitude of men gone a little while before?
15476Are forgiveness and compassion and pity and abstention from injury not to be found in anybody walking along the path of Kshatriya duties?
15476Are not thy two arms sound?
15476Are these two ears of thine gone?
15476Are those heroes, slain by the Pancalas, sleeping on the bare Earth?
15476Arrived at the presence, those illustrious ones addressed the Lord of the universe, saying,''What sort of a noise is this, O puissant one?
15476Art thou alive?
15476Art thou not happy?
15476Art thou not successful in controlling thy mind?
15476Art thou not superior to those men, or at least equal to them in intelligence and exertion?''
15476As he has no foes, what fear can assail him?
15476Ashvatthama and Kripa, and Kritavarma of the Satwata race, asked all the Kshatriyas there, saying,"Where has Duryodhana gone?"
15476Asked by me, tell me by what means is Brahma to be apprehended?

15476At whose sign hast thou entered into my heart?
15476Be that as it may, what else is there that I can do for thee?
15476Before what do I rest?
15476Behold, O slayer of Madhu, that other son of Dhritarashtra, Citrasena, slain and lying on the ground, that hero who was the model of all bowmen?
15476Beholding him eating, Sankha addressed his brother, saying,''Whence have these fruits been obtained and for what reason art thou eating them?''
15476Beholding him fallen into a great danger why dost thou not stir thyself?
15476Beholding his brother slain in battle by Bhimasena, and upon his blood being drunk, what indeed, did Duryodhana say?
15476Beholding his host dispirited, what, indeed, did the ungovernable, proud, and foolish Duryodhana, with passions not under control, say?
15476Beholding his wrath, Keshava, conversant with the workings of the( human) heart said,"Why, O Partha, dost thou draw thy sword?
15476Beholding that child of celestial beauty lying on the lap of his sire, the God asked one another,"From whom shall this child obtain suck?"
15476Beholding the army broken by Kunti''s son of immeasurable energy, what did Karna, the son of Adhiratha and Radha, do in that battle?
15476Beholding the bird enter that fire, the fowler began to think, and asked himself,''What have I done?
15476Beholding thee in such distress, why are they delaying in making their appearance before thee?
15476Beholding this last attribute of Hope, I ask, what else is so unconquerable as this?"
15476Beholding this miserable plight that has overtaken thee, dost thou or dost thou not indulge in grief?
15476Beholding thyself stripped today by thy foes, why dost thou not grieve?
15476Beholding, however, that son of Radha now defeated by Bhima in battle, what did my son Duryodhana next do?''
15476Being a friend, why dost thou, like an enemy, frighten me with these praises of the two Krishnas?
15476Being alone and destitute of weapons, how can I venture to fight on foot, against numerous foes all well- armed and possessed of cars?
15476Being of such low origin, how can they be conversant with the duties ordained in the scriptures?
15476Bhima replied, saying,''It is improper to quaff the blood of even a stranger, what then need be said about quaffing the blood of one''s own self?
15476Born in a respectable family belonging to the middle country, how is it that thou becomest like a robber in thy practices?
15476Bringing us into the midst of foes, why hast thou broken us into pieces by throwing us down on a hard soil?
15476But how can acts, if he continues to be engaged in accomplishing acts, bring about what is agreeable( viz., Emancipation)?
15476But how many kings are there that rule their kingdoms well?
15476But how would the king maintain himself if he were not to trust anybody?

15476But is he, on that account, to be really believed to be above decrepitude and death?
15476But what can devotion do when the sacrificer is stained by falsehood?
15476But what fault can attach to the sale of oil, or of Ghrita, or honey, or drugs, O regenerate one?
15476But what is meant by the identity of the Understanding with all the objects it comprehends?
15476But why phalani instead of phalam?
15476But why, O king, shouldst thou be guilty of heedlessness?''
15476By giving way to thy wrath, what wilt thou do to me?
15476By killing those hopes of theirs, to what regions shalt thou go, O king, especially when salvation is doubtful and creatures are dependent on actions?
15476By what Act or by what Knowledge can that fruit be achieved?
15476By what is it besieged?
15476By what means does a kingdom grow, and what are those means by which the king himself grows?
15476By what means may what kind of singleness of purpose be attained by men, with respect to both, viz., the mind and the senses?
15476By what path do those men go that censure action?
15476By what, a Kshatriya?
15476Can he, however, at any time, support himself by the practice of the duties laid down for the Vaisyas?"
15476Canst thou utter them now once more in joy, repeatedly struck as thou art by me?
15476Chirakarin asks,''How shall I know that Gautama is my father?
15476Conversant with the ways of morality, why dost thou, O king, witness this act with indifference?"

15476Depending upon which of these does the course of life proceed?
15476Deprived as I am of my children, what need have I of kingdom?''
15476Deprived by us of his kingdom( on a former occasion), why will the son of Pandu repose his trust on us?
15476Deprived of thee, O king, where can we have peace and where can we have happiness?
15476Deprived of thee, O mighty- armed one, what will be my plight?
15476Dhrishtadyumna, seeing me, laughingly addressed Satyaki, saying,''What is the use of seizing this one?

15476Did not that hero meet with his death like the other Kshatriyas that have fallen?
15476Did the son of Radha act towards the( hostile) troops according to his vow?
15476Did they achieve any feat?
15476Disappointed in this, he says, when Kundadhara does not mind my adorations, who else will?
15476Displaying thy prowess, hast thou today destroyed that refuge of Suyodhana?
15476Dividing themselves properly, how were the warriors stationed?

15476How, O scorcher of foes, should the king live so that he might not fall away from both righteousness and profit?"
15476How, O sire, shall we succeed in knowing these people?"
15476How, O tiger among kings, could Vritra( who was an Asura) comprehend it( so well)?
15476How, again, is the other said to be animate and intelligent?
15476How, again, through his grace, was Daksha enabled to reunite the divided limbs of that Sacrifice?
15476How, indeed, O Sanjaya, was Shalya slain by king Yudhishthira the just?
15476How, indeed, can Emancipation be obtained without violating the ordinance about the obligatory character of acts?''"
15476How, indeed, do those that are wise free themselves from mental grief born of the advent of evils and the bereavement of objects that are dear?''
15476How, indeed, may one avoid grief and agitation?
15476How, indeed, shall I attain to that excellent situation whence there is no return into the ocean of diverse kinds of birth?
15476How, indeed, should a Brahmana maintain himself at such a time?
15476How, mother, couldst thou conceal him like a person concealing a fire within the folds of his cloth?
15476How, then, O diadem- decked Arjuna, could the Suta''s son pierce thee first with ten long shafts such as are used by car- warriors?
15476How, then, O father, canst thou sit so at thy ease?
15476How, then, can I regard it as a victory?
15476How, then, can objects of such very great diversity be distributed into classes?''
15476How, then, was he vanquished by Indra?
15476How, when all of you were together, could the mighty king of the Madras, as also my son, be slain, O Sanjaya, by the Pandavas?
15476Hurried as I am by it, how can I have sleep and happiness?
15476I ask thee, through whose or what care is the embryo kept alive?
15476I ask thee, what do you think suitable to the circumstances that have arisen?
15476I ask, dost thou or dost thou not indulge in grief now, for this fall of thine in respect of external splendour?''
15476I ask, doth that Karna of sinful understanding lie today on the field, his body pierced with shafts?
15476I ask, how should one judge of an act in respect of either one''s obligation to do it or of abstaining from it?
15476I ask, how were they born?
15476I ask, was it in some former birth that Vyasa of immeasurable energy had sprung from Narayana?
15476I ask,"Whither do persons go by the aid of Knowledge and whither by the aid of acts?
15476I hope he was not alone and abandoned( by friends) when slain in battle by the Pandavas?
15476I hope those two car- warriors checked by vulgar guards, did not fly away secretly, thinking their opponents irresistible?
15476I hope thou art not stupefied, having through thy own faults fallen into such distress?
15476I hope thou feelest no pain now, remembering their rejection by thee?
15476I hope thou feelest no pain now, remembering thy rejection of those counsels?
15476I now turn to the question, which, O Gandharva, thou askest, viz., What is Universe and what is not- universe?
15476I shall not do the slightest injury to any creature, what need be said then of those that dwell in villages and towns?
15476I shall today, in the very presence of Vasudeva, despatch all the Pancalas, by all means in my power, to the abode of Yama?
15476I then besought him, saying,"When, O Brahmana, shall this curse end?"
15476I used to sport with thee before, O dear lord, but where are those joys now?
15476If I do not accept what has been given by this Brahmana, how shall I avoid being stained with a great sin?''
15476If I do not avenge the slaughter of my sire, how shall I open my mouth in the midst of men?
15476If Time, according to thee, be the cause of acts, how can religious merit be acquired by persons performing religious acts?
15476If after resorting the Vedas to Brahmana, Narayana to his own nature, where would his form be that had the horse- head?
15476If it be true that thou hast been emancipated from all bonds, what harm have I done thee by entering thy person with only my Intellect?
15476If it is Time that causes weal and woe and birth and death, why do physicians then seek to administer medicines to the sick?
15476If it is Time that is moulding everything, what need is there of medicines?
15476If it is true that thou seest an identity with thyself and others, why then didst thou ask me who I am and whose?
15476If it were otherwise, how could I find the acts( of persons in quest of heaven) become successful through mantras?
15476If one obtains only the ordinances of the scriptures, what can an associate do?
15476If one, while in the observance of a particular mode of life, slays a Brahmana, will not the sin of Brahmanicide attach to him?
15476If such a man desires to even make a gift of the whole world, who is there that would like even to look at him?
15476If the appropriation of wealth belonging to others be not regarded as righteous, how, O monarch, will kings practise virtue on this earth?
15476If there be no king, what would become of his wife and acquisition?''
15476If this be your duty, that one should never be slain by many, why is it then that Abhimanyu was slain by many, acting in accord with thy counsels?
15476If this virtue that thou now invokest was nowhere on those occasions, what is the use then of parching thy palate now, by uttering that word?
15476If thou hadst not been the protector of Phalguna in dreadful battle, how could then this sea of troops have been capable of being vanquished?
15476If thou hadst slain the king, O Partha, what wouldst thou have done after that?
15476If thou takest such meat, where would then the distinction be between persons of those orders and men like Chandalas?
15476If, again, thou canst act up to thy resolution of abandoning everything, then who am I to thee, who art thou to me, and what can be thy grace to me?
15476If, indeed, O Yudhishthira, Duryodhana select thee for battle, or Arjuna, or Nakula, or Sahadeva( what will be the consequence)?
15476If, on the other hand, one gives away a cow while one is not in the observance of any particular mode of life, will that pious gift produce no merit?
15476If, therefore, the king does not give( food) where will the pious that are desirous of salvation go?
15476In energy and fame and beauty, who else in the three worlds can equal Him than you two that have been born in the race of Dharma?
15476In great grief he began to say slowly and softly,"What, O celestial Rishi, is unconquerable and what is greater than hope?
15476In prowess also, who is there that resembles me?
15476In reality, however, whose are they and whose are we?
15476In the matter of taking counsel and in the assembly of his councillors what independence can the king be said to have?
15476In what manner, again, doth high prosperity fall off?
15476In what their impurity?
15476In what their purity?
15476In what way should I behave so that this blazing prosperity that I have won and that scorches all my enemies may not desert me?''
15476In whom shall my people then find an authority for guiding them?
15476In whose race was he born?
15476Indeed that best of ascetics, O monarch, wondered much, saying,''How could this one be seen in the ocean and again in my hermitage?''
15476Indeed when thy life is being incessantly shortened, why dost thou not run to preceptors( for learning the means of rescue)?
15476Indeed, by whom has this universe with its oceans, its firmament, its mountains, its clouds, its lands, its fire, and its wind, been created?
15476Indeed, having taken up that foremost of weapons, the great god began to say,''Where is he?
15476Indeed, if those duties be censurable, then why should not the Supreme Ordainer be censured?
15476Indeed, what is That which is said to be indestructible, suspicious, beneficial and free from evil of every kind?
15476Indeed, when all qualities, good or bad, enter a person, urged by Nature, what ground is there for one to boast( of one''s superior possessions)?
15476Indeed, whence their creation and destruction?
15476Indeed, who else than thou could utter such cruel speeches?
15476Indeed, why is it that canes are not washed down by any of you, uprooted from the banks where they grow?''
15476Indeed, why should they not perform wicked acts?''
15476Invincible as thou wert in battle, how, alas, hast thou been slain by the Parthas?
15476Is Krishna superior to thee in might of arms, O king?
15476Is Righteousness for service in this world or is it for service in the next world?
15476Is every thing right with that dear spouse of mine in the forest?
15476Is everything the result of Chance in the world, or are the fruits that we enjoy or suffer, the results of( previous) action?
15476Is fasting, however, really so, or is penance something different?"
15476Is he really a human being or is he some deity that has come hither in the disguise of a Brahmana?
15476Is it Emancipation that thou wouldst pursue( in the usual way), i.e., by retiring into solitude and betaking thyself to Sannyasa?
15476Is it by penance, by Brahmacharya, by renunciation of everything, by intelligence, by the aid of the Sankhya philosophy, or by Yoga?
15476Is it by penances, or by the understanding, or by religious acts( like sacrifices, and vows), or by study and knowledge of the scriptures?''
15476Is it due to any act of mine or is it due to any act that Vali has done?''
15476Is it due to thy heroism or thy having waited with reverence upon aged persons?
15476Is it due to thy mind having been cleansed by penances?
15476Is it obtainable by the aid of knowledge or by that of penances?''
15476Is it that learning by which, when error is dispelled, the truth becomes discovered?
15476Is it to be judged speedily or with delay?"
15476Is it, O child, the case that Pavana is pleased with thee and is thy friend so that he protects thee always in these woods?
15476Is man, however, to be regarded as their doer or is he not to be regarded so?
15476Is not this a perversity of understanding on thy part, since thou art by nature an eater of carrion?
15476Is such a man to be regarded as following the ordinances of Sankhya or yoga or work?
15476Is that person, O Sanjaya, worthy of honour who behaveth thus towards a man possessed of glory endued with prosperity, living in the midst of friends?
15476Is the illustrious Grandsire of all the worlds any way different from or inferior to the great Narayana?
15476Is there no distinction then among duties or observances in respect of their beneficial character?
15476Is there or is there not consciousness in the emancipate state?
15476Is this due, O son of Diti, to the acquisition of wisdom or is it on account of thy fortitude?
15476It is again well known that nobody asks any of these, saying, who art thou?
15476It might be asked that when there were no men as yet to worship or to condemn such worship, how could the two arise?
15476Janamejaya said,"For what reason did Agni, the Creator of all the worlds, disappear?
15476Janamejaya said,"For what reason was Indra tainted with the sin of Brahmanicide?
15476Janamejaya said,"For what reason was the adorable Soma afflicted with phthisis?
15476Janamejaya said,"What is the origin of Udapana?
15476Janamejaya said,"Who was the mother of Sruvavati, and how was that fair damsel reared?
15476Janamejaya said,"Why did the sage Sarasvata, O thou of ascetic merit, teach the Vedas unto the Rishis during a twelve years''drought?"
15476Janamejaya said,"Why is it called Kapalamochana, where the great Muni became freed( from the Rakshasa''s head)?
15476Janamejaya said,"Why, O Brahmana, did the Sarasvati bend her course there in an easternly direction?
15476Joining his palms from reverence and with eyes bathed in tears, he addressed Kusika''s son, saying,''What do you seek here in the night, O Brahmana?''
15476Knowing as I do my own origin, why should I not have this knowledge( of my relationship with both of them)?
15476Kripa and the others do?
15476Let me ask thee, O foremost of car- warriors, with whom wouldst thou fight using this weapon?"
15476Mahadeva is himself fond of this music and is represented as often making???.
15476Mahadeva is himself fond of this music and is represented as often making???.
15476Mahadeva is himself fond of this music and is represented as often making???.
15476Many a time the Brahmana enquired, saying,"O chastiser of foes, by what means hast thou been able to win the sovereignty of the three worlds?
15476Many of them loudly exclaimed,"What is this?"
15476Markest thou not that the Kauravas,( standing behind Karna), are even now shouting in joy?
15476May not this be taken as an indication of the traditional idea of the happiness of Eden before the fall of man?
15476May not this verse be a reference to the Buddhistic idea of a Buddha?
15476No person shall deter me from this resolution, not even Indra himself uplifting his thunder; what then need be said of a mortal?"''"
15476Not even could a dew- drop be seen, what need then be said of clouds gathering together?
15476O Partha, who else will succeed in understanding that which we do not understand?
15476O best of regenerate ones, by what acts again does one become a Vaisya or a Sudra?
15476O bird, what dost thou think is the highest of all objects?
15476O foremost of all practisers of virtue, having thyself said these words unto thy brothers then, why, O hero, dost thou depress our hearts now?
15476O foremost of intelligent persons, is it all right with thy understanding?
15476O great refuge of the universe, is it all right with the three worlds?
15476O high- souled one, in what does thy mind find pleasure?
15476O king, do the gods ever wish for anything else than the slaughter of their kinsmen( the Asuras)?
15476O my wealth- coveting and foolish Soul, when wilt thou succeed in emancipating thyself from the desire of wealth?
15476O son of Virochana, what is that by having recourse to which thou dost not grieve although the occasion is for grief?
15476O son, O Sanjaya, I hope he did no dastardly act on that occasion?
15476O thou of fair brows, whence dost thou come and whither wilt thou proceed, O auspicious lady?''
15476O thou of foremost intelligence, for what reason did the supreme Deity assume that form and display himself in it unto Brahman?
15476O thou of great fame, who is there among human beings that would be desirous of seeing me or that would be competent for the purpose?
15476O thou of great wisdom, by adoring whom do they succeed in obtaining eternal happiness?''
15476O thou of little intelligence, thinkest thou not of Bhimasena filled with wrath?
15476O thou of unfading glory, are all thy faculties in their full vigour?
15476O thou that art eagerly desirous of enjoying all agreeable objects, how is it that thou art not yet satiated with objects of desire?
15476Observant as thou art of the duties of a Kshatriya, dost thou not rejoice, O son of Pandu?
15476Of what avail would then the distinction be between heedfulness and heedlessness?
15476Of what is he made?
15476Of what kind is he?
15476Of what kind is the life of living creatures?
15476Of what kind is the life of living creatures?
15476Of whom, O Madhava, will the Kurus enquire of religion and duty after that bull among men, Devavrata, who resembles a god, shall have gone to heaven?
15476Oh, how shall I dwell in those forms?
15476Oh, tell me how will that man be freed from all those great terrors?
15476Oh, why didst thou not spare, O child, even one son of this old couple deprived of kingdom, one whose offences were lighter?
15476Old as I am, how shall I now submit to the sway of enemies?
15476On the other hand, I ask thee, what is for thy good?
15476On the other hand, who is there that can vanquish the mighty car- warriors of the Pandavas protected by thee?
15476On this topic it has been asked what is this state in which the embodied creature thinks himself surrounded by and engaged in objects and acts?
15476On what occasions should a person tell the truth, and on what occasions should he tell an untruth?"
15476Once more, Bhima of fierce deeds, his heart filled with wrath, beholding Duhshasana dead, laughed softly and said,"What more can I do to thee?
15476One, therefore, being oneself so infirm, what rational consideration can one have for protecting and feeding one''s relatives?
15476Or, is it for service both here and hereafter?
15476Or, is it that course of duties consisting of acts to be done or achieved, by the aid of which the object sought may be understood or attained?
15476Or, is it that course of duties, called abstention from acts, by which an extension of the Soul is to be sought?
15476Or, was he in name only Suvarnashthivin?
15476Or, what did Karna, that foremost of victors, or the warriors of my army in that battle, or Kripa, or Kritavarma, or Drona''s son Duhshasana, say?
15476Other Kshatriyas, present there, who had been exceedingly mangled with wounds, said,"What need is there with Duryodhana?
15476Otherwise, how could you slay Abhimanyu under those circumstances?
15476Passing their time in misery and in expectation of fruit, they always ask themselves in anxiety,''Shall these come out of the womb safely?
15476Penetrated with fright, he addressed Palita and said,''What shalt thou do now?''
15476Possessed of great energy, the mighty- armed son of Jamadagni said unto him,''Who art thou?
15476Possessed of great wisdom, Sanjaya, approaching the monarch, addressed him, saying,''Why dost thou grieve, O monarch?
15476Possessed of the splendour of an immortal, for what reason did Usanas obtain the name of Sukra?
15476Prahlada asked the form, saying,"Who art thou?"
15476Reflecting on this, who is there that will yield to grief?
15476Reflecting on thy own instability, why dost thou grieve for them?
15476Reflecting upon this, how can one feel any affection for one''s body?
15476Repairing to Bharadwaja, he asked the Rishi about the truths of the science of Profit,--saying,--How can an unacquired object be acquired?
15476SECTION CCCLI"Janamejaya said,''O regenerate one, are there many Purushas or is there only one?
15476SECTION CCCXLIII"''Arjuna said,"How did Agni and Shoma, in days of yore, attain to uniformity in respect of their original nature?
15476SECTION CCI"''Yudhishthira said,"What are the fruits of the yoga represented by Knowledge of all the Vedas, and of the( various) observances and vows?
15476SECTION CCVIII"''Yudhishthira asked,"Who were the first Prajapatis, O bull of Bharata''s race?
15476SECTION CCXCVII"''"Janaka said,''Whence, O great Rishi, does this difference of colour arise among men belonging to the different orders?
15476SECTION CCXX"''Yudhishthira said,"By doing what does one acquire happiness, and what is that by doing which one meets with woe?
15476SECTION CIX"''Yudhishthira said,"How, O Bharata, should a person act who desires to adhere to virtue?
15476SECTION CL"''Yudhishthira said,"O best of the Bharatas, when a person commits sin from want of judgment, how may he be cleansed from it?
15476SECTION CLIII"''Yudhishthira said,"Hast thou, O grandsire, ever seen or heard of any mortal restored to life after having succumbed to death?"
15476SECTION CLXXX"''Yudhishthira said,"Which of these, O grandsire, viz., kinsmen, or acts, or wealth, or wisdom should be the refuge of a person?

15476SECTION LXVIII"''Yudhishthira said,"Why, O bull of Bharata''s race, have the Brahmanas said that the king, that ruler of men, is a god?"
15476SECTION LXXIX"''Yudhishthira said,"What, O grandsire, should be the acts and what the behaviour of persons employed as priests in our sacrifices?

15476SECTION XXX"''Yudhishthira said,"How did the son of Srinjaya become Suvarnashthivin?
15476SECTION XXXIV- XXXV"''Yudhishthira said,"After doing what acts does a man become liable to perform expiation?
15476Save thee, O tiger among men, who else is there, even if he resemble Vasava himself in prowess, that could vanquish king Bhagadatta?
15476Say, what we are to do for you?''"''"
15476Seeing Vikartana''s son slain in single combat by Savyasaci, and the Pandavas crowned with victory, what indeed, did Duryodhana say?
15476Seeing me with thee, why will not thy dear spouse and thy loving children cheerfully eat me up?
15476Seeing this, Krishna asked him,"What is this?
15476Shakra, coming down from heaven, asked him the reason, saying,"Why O king, art thou employed( in this task) with such perseverance?
15476Shall these live after birth?
15476Shall they be able to give us happiness in this and the other world?''
15476Shall they grow in might and be objects of regard on earth?
15476Should he seek the acquisition of wealth by evil means, or should he lay down his life without seeking wealth?"
15476Should he select one already made or should he cause one to be especially constructed?
15476Should one sacrifice with the goat or with herbs and plants?
15476Similarly, O Bharata, of what use is the forest to him that has no self- control?
15476Similarly, what need is there for a king that is not competent to grant protection?
15476Similarly, who will wonder if I were described as one possessed of the full measure of fame?
15476Smiling, he then asked the gods,''Who will become my driver?''
15476Sought to be made a prey by three foes, how should I now act for saving my life?
15476Tell me also truly, O illustrious one, what is that which the very Vedas have not been able to reveal?
15476Tell me in what thou has still any doubt?
15476Tell me what after this is in thy mind?
15476Tell me what, indeed, is Adhyatma and whence does it come?
15476Tell me, O Madhava, to which of these duties should I first turn?
15476Tell me, O first of speakers, whence was his attachment to life and whence his happiness?
15476Tell us, therefore, who is to be the generalissimo of my forces now, placing whom at our head, all of us, united together, may vanquish the Pandavas?"
15476That Being, thus created, stood before the great god, with joined hands, and said,"What commands shall I have to accomplish?"
15476The Daitya chief addressed it, saying,"Who art thou?"
15476The King said,--''By what conduct, O holy one may one transcend decrepitude and death?
15476The body being non- existent, what then is the real refuge of the knowledge?
15476The king replied unto him, saying,''Why should I not bear anything thou wilt say, since I am not blind to what is for my good?
15476The question is then mentally stated,--May not the Gunas be the qualities of the knowledge( instead of being, as said above, its refuge)?
15476The sage began to reflect, saying to himself,''What is best for me to do now?''
15476The sense seems to be this: Is it a life of domesticity that thou wouldst lead?
15476The son of Rohini then, in sorrowful words, enquired of the Rishi, saying,''What is the state of the field?
15476The unfading Brahma, soothing him by soft words, said unto him,"O Sharva, what wert thou doing so long within the water?
15476The very women did not quarrel with one another, what need then be said of the men?
15476The younger brother of Indra then, with great excitement, addressed him, saying,"Why, O son of Pandu, dost thou become so forgetful?
15476Then Bhoja and Sharadvata''s son, those high- souled persons, addressed him, saying,"Why dost thou yoke the steeds to thy car?
15476Then Vasudeva, addressing Partha, said,"Why, O sinless one, dost thou sport in this way?
15476Then all the celestials, coming to Soma, O king, asked him, saying,''Why is it that thy form is not so beautiful and resplendent( as before)?
15476Then the chief of the Dasharhas addressed Arjuna and said,"Why errest thou in thus sparing Ashvatthama?
15476Then, again, when I have no real connection with even my body, how then can I be said to have any contact with the bodies of others?
15476These men must be regarded as Mahajanas and Sadhus, but how can their conduct be regarded as righteous?
15476This direction or command is certainly terrible, for who can make up his mind to part with all his wealth for completing a sacrifice?
15476Those questions are as follows: What is universe and what is not- universe?
15476Thou art incapable of being known by the gods, how then canst thou be known by me?
15476Thou wouldst not speak of this( thy present motion) because of its having been a mystery to us?
15476Though possessed of great energy, why does he not succeed in travelling to the centre of the firmament?
15476Through whom again do they act?
15476Thus addressed in that battle by him, the Suta''s son said,"Who are you possessed of such fierce form?"
15476Thyself an object of grief, why dost thou grieve( for others)?
15476To what reason is thy entrance to be ascribed into my kingdom or my palace?
15476To what regions shall I go( thereafter), having perpetrated such infamous deeds?
15476Unable to bear the grief resulting from such affliction, and worthy as she is of happiness, alas, what will be her plight?
15476Under these circumstances, ye kings, what is necessary and what is still more necessary?''"
15476Unto them that said so, the son of Tashtri replied,--''Where will you go?
15476Upon the recommencement of the battle after the withdrawal of the troops, how, O Sanjaya, did Vikarna''s son Karna fight?
15476Upon what business art thou bent?
15476Upon what else shall I speak to thee?
15476Upon what indeed, shall I once more speak to thee?''"''"
15476Upon what woman did Vyasa, endued with wealth of asceticism, beget that son of his?
15476Upon what, O Srinjaya, dost thou reflect in silence?
15476Upon whom should the king repose confidence and upon whom should he not?"
