  Speaker 1: Book five fatimpri Tamahayite Woman's love true to the ward.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: The sons of Pandu went to Tropathy into exile and
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: passed twelve years in the wilderness. And many were the
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: incidents which checkered their forest life. Krishna, who had stood
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: by Restir in his prosperity, now came to visit him
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: in his adversity. He counseled Dropady in her distress and
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: gave good advice to the brothers. Dropardy, with a woman's
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: pride and anger, still thought of her wrongs and insults,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: and Argididistyr to disregard the conditions of exile and recover
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: his kingdom. Him too was of the same mind, but
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: it distre would not be moved from his plighted word.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: The Great Receivers came to Visitedistyr and advised Arjin great Archer,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: as he was to acquire celestial arms by penance and worship.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Arjin followed the advice, met the Godziba in the guise
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: of a hunter, pleased him by his proise in combat,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: and obtained his blessings and the Passoparto weapon. Arjinda went
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: to Indrashaven and obtained other celestial arms in the Meanwhile, Douruthan,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: not content with sending his cousins to exile, wished to
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: humiliate them still more by appearing before them in all
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: his regal power and splendor. Matters, however, turned out differently
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: from what he expected, and he became involved in a
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: quarrel with some gun Herbs, a class of aerial beings.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Douryutan was taken captive by them, and it was the
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Panda Brothers who released him from his captivity and allowed
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: him to return to his kingdom in peace. This act
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: of generosity rankled in his bosom and deepened his hat.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Read Jadreth, king of Sindhu or Indus country, and a
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: friend and a lie of Durudan, came to the Oods and,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: in the absence of the Panda Brothers, carried off Dropady.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: The Pandabs, however, pursued the king, justised him for his misconduct,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: and rescued Dropady. Still more interesting than these various incidents
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: are the tales and lisens with which he is spoke
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: replete great scenes. Came to see history in his exile
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and narrated to him listens of ancient times and of
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: former kings. One of these beautiful episodes. The tale of
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: nal and Damanti has been translated into graceful English Wars
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: by Dean Milman and is known to many English readers.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: The lizend of Augustia, who drained the ocean dry, of Parasudam,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: a Brahman who killed Thekshatriyas of the art of Fagedit,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: who brought down the Ganges from the skies to the
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: earth of Manu, and the universal deluge of Vishnu, and
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: various other gods of Rama and his deeds which formed
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: the subject of the Epigramayana. These and various other lessons
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: have been interwoven in the account of the forest life
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: of the Pandevs and make it a veritable storhouse of
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: ancient Hindu tales and traditions. Among these various lizens and tales,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I have selected one which is singular and striking. The
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: great ruth, proclaimed under the thin guise of an Eastern allegory,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: is that a true woman's love is not conquered by death.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: The story is known by Hindu women high and low,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: rich and poor, in all parts of India, and on
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: a certain night in the year, millions of Hindu women
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: celebrated right in honor of the women whose love was
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: not conquered by death. Legends like these, though they take
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: away from the unity and consciousness of the epic, impart
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: a moral instruction to the millions of India, the value
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: of which cannot be overestimated. The portion translated in this
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: book forms sections two ninety two and two ninety three,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: a part of section two ninety four, and sections two
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: ninety five and two ninety six of book three of
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the original text. One forest life in the dark and
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: pathless forest longed upon the broader strait in the bosom
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: of the jungle, with the fair drop of staid and
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the killed the forest. Red deer hewed the gnarled forest
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: ood from the streams. He fetched the water, cooked the
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: humble daily food. In the morn she swept the cottage,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: lit the cheerful fire at eve, But at night, in
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: lonesome silence, ofter Roman's heart would grieve. Insults rankled in
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: her bosom, and her dresses were unbound. So she vowed
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: till fitting vengeance had the bays insulters found oft. When
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: evening sage descended, mantling over the wood and lee when
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Dropody by the cottage, cooked the food beneath the tree.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Richez came to good it Istr sat beside his evening fires.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Many olden tails recited lizens of our ancient sires Mark
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: and thea holy Richie once unto Itistr came when his
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: heart was sorrow hidden with the memories of his shame.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Pardon Richie, said it Isture. If unbidden tears will start.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: But the woods of fair Dropody grieve a banished husband's
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: heart by her tears. The saintly women broke my bondage
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: worse than death by my scenes. She sa for sexile
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: and misfortune's freezing breath. Dost thou says in Saint LRICHI
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: know of wife? Are Roman born by such nameless sorrow,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: smitten by such strange misfortune? Torn? Hearst thou in thy
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: ancient lesions, heart of true and faithful wife, with a
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: stronger wife's affection, with a sad a Roman's life listen, Monarch,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: said d Ricchi to a tale of ancient death. How
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Savitry loved and suffered, how she strove and conquered faith. Two.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: The tale of Savitri in the country of the Madras
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: lived the king in days of old, faithful to the
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Holy Brahmha, pure in heart and righteous souled. He was
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: loved in town and country, in the court and Harmit's den,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: sacrificer to the bright God's help her to his brother man.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: But the monarch asked swapathy, son or daughter? Had he
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: none oldears and sunk in anguish, and his days were
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: almost done? Vows he took and holy penance and the
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: pious rules conformed spare in diet esbra Bachari. Many sacred
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: rites performed, sang the sacred hymn Savitri to the God's
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: oblatians gave through the lifelong day. He passed it on,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: complaining meek and brave. Ear by ear, he gathered virtue,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: rose in merit and in might, till the Goddess of
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Savitri smiled upon his sacred ride from the fire upon
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the altar, which a holy radiance flung in the form
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: of beauteous maiden. Goddess of Sabatri is prong, and she
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: spake in gentle accents, blessed the owner good and brave,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: blessed his rights and holy penance, and the boon unto him,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: gave penance and thy sacrifices, can the power's mortal move
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: and the puareness of thy conduct, doth thy heart's affection
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: prove Ask thy boon King as swopathy from cresans and
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: sea and sire, true to Virtue's sacred mandate, speak thy
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: most heart's desire for an offspring brave and kingly. So
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the saintly King replied, Holy rites and sacrifices, and these
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: penance I have tried. If these rites and sacrifices move
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: thy favor and thy grace, grant me offspring. Prayer maiden,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: wordy of my noble rays, have thy object spec the
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: maiden madraspayus arteth King from sayambo self created placings unto
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: thee I bring, for he lists to mortals prayer springing
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: from a heart like dying, and he wills a noble
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: daughter grace, thy famed and royal lion, a swopathy, glad
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: and grateful, take the blazing which I bring, part in
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: joy and part in silence, bow unto Creation's king vanished.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Then the prayer maiden and the king of noble fame,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: a swapathy lord ofers to his royal city cave, days
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: of hope and nights of gladness. Madra's happy monarch passed
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: till his queen of noble offspring glad some promise cave
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: at last, as the moon each night increased, chasing dark,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: some lightly gloom, grew the unborn babe in splendor in
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: its happy mother's oomb and in fullness of a season
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: came a girl with lotus eye, father's hope and joy
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: of murther gifts of kindly gods on high, and the
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: king performed its batrides with a glad and grateful mind,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: and the people blessed the dear one with deirrishes good
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: and kind. As Savitri prayer maiden had the beauteous offspring
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: given Brahmans named the child Savitri. Holy gifts of bounteous
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: heaven grew a child in brighter beauty, like a goddess
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: from above, and each passing season added treasure, sweetness, deeper
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: love came with youth, its lovelier grace, as the budsteer
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: leaves unfold slender, western rounded bosom image as of barnished gold.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Dave Kenya borne a goddess, so they said, in all
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: the land, princely suitor struck with splendor ventured not to
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: seek her hand. Once upon a time, it happened on
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: a bright and festive day. Fresh from bat the beauteous
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: maiden to the altar came to pray, and with cakes
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: and pure libations, duly fed the sacred flame. Then, like three,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: in heavenly radiance to her royal father came bowed unto
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: his feet in silence, sacred flowers beside him laid, and
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: her hands she folded meekly, sweetly, her obeisance maid with
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: her father's pride upon her gazed the ruler of the land.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: But a strain of sadness lingered, for no suitor claimed
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: her hand daughter, who spurred us supathy. Now metings the
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: time is come. Thou shouldst choose a prince gracey royal
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: husband's home. Choose thyself a noble husband worthy of thy
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: noble hand. Choose a true and upright monarch pride and
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: glory of his land. As thou choosest gentle daughter. In
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: thy loving heart's desire, blessing and his pre permission will
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: bestow thy happy sire for our sacred sastras sanction Holy
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Brahman's of relate that the dity loving father sees his
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: girl in wedded state, that the deity loving husband watches
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: over his consort's ways, that the deity loving offspring dance
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: his mother's widow days. Therefore, choose a loving husband, daughter
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: of my house and love so thy father, are no
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: censure or from man or God's above. Fair Sabitry bowed
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: unto him, and for parting placing sprayed. Then she left
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: her father's palace and in distant regions trade with her
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: garden aged courtiers, whom her watchful father sent mounted on
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: her golden chariot unto silver woodlands went Then unpleasant oods
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: and jungle rendered. She from day to day unto Ashram's hermitages,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: pious hearted held her way Oftsi stayed in holy Tiethas,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: washed by sacred limpid streams. Food she gave unto the hungry,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: whilst beyond their fondest dreams. Many days and months are over,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: And it once did so befall, when the king and
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: richinared settled in their royal hall. From her journeys near
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: and distant, and from places known to fame, Fair Sabitri,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: with the courtiers to her father's palace, came came and
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: saw her royal father rachinnaad by his seat, bent her
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: head in salutation, bowed unto their holy feet tree the
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: faded bridegroom. Whence comes she so narred questioned whether was
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Sabitry led wherefore to a happy her husband. Had Sabaitery
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: not been wet nay to choose her lord and husband?
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: So the virtuous monarch said, fair, Sabitrary long had wandered,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: and in holy Tuta state maiden speak unto the Rishi
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: and thy choice and secret tale. Then a blush suffused
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: her forehead, soft and slow, her actions fell listen. Father
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Salva's monarch was of old, a king of might, righteous hearted,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: demoed sena feeble now and void of sight. Foeman robbed
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: him of his kingdom. When in age he lost his side,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: and from town in spacious empire was the monarch forced
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: to fly with his queen Anutius infant. Did the feeble
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: monarch stray and the jungle was his palace, darksome was
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: his weary way. Holy vows assumed the monarch, and in
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: penance passed his life in the wild woods, nursed his infant,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: and do its wild fruits fed his wife. Years have
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: gone in risy penance and that child is now a youth.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: He might choose my lord and husband, said Theaban. Soul
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: of truth, thoughtful was d Rishi narad doleful were the
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: words he said. Said disaster waits savigery, if disvalued she
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: wed truthful? Loving is his father? Truthful is the royal Dame.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Truth and virtue ruled his actions. Saith Theiaban is his name.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Steeds he loved in days of boyhood, and to pain
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: damn was his joy. Hence they called him young Ti
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: dasuer odd beloving gallant boy but opious arted monarch fair
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: sabatry hath ensued court at fate and sad disaster in
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: that noble gallant yth tell me questioned asopathy, for I
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: may not guess that thought. Wherefore is my daughter's accent
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: with a sad disaster fraud is the youth of noble Lassir,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: gifted in the gifts of art, blessed to to wisdom, prowess, passions, daring,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: dauntless in his heart, Sulia's Lassir in him shined sod rishiinard,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: said Brahaspa, his wisdom dwelleth in the young sat Tevan's
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: head like Mahindra in his prowess and in passience like
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: the art yet O king, a sad disaster marks the
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: gentle youth from birth. Tell me, Richi, then th reason,

  Speaker 1: So the enxious monarch cried, what a youth so great
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: and gifted may dismayed? Be not allied? He is sative one,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: free in bounty, gentle hearted, full of grace, duly versed
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: in sacred knowledge, fair in mind and fair in face,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: free in gifts like Grantideva. So the Holi Rishi said,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: versed in lore, like monarch Sibe, who all ancient monarchs
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: led like Jaijati, open hearted and like Chandra in his grave,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: like the handsome heavenly a swins, fair and radiant in
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: his face. Me can grace with passion virtue. He controls
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: his noble mind, modest in his kindly actions, true to
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: friends and ever kind, and the hermits of the forest

  Speaker 1: praise him for his righteous truth. Gnatless King, thy daughter
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: may not wet this noble hearted Yet tell me, richie,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: said the monarch, for the sense from me is he
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: has this princed some pattal blemish? Wherefore is this match
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: for weed? Fatal fault? Exclaimed Dorischi fault that wipe at
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: all his grace, fault that human power, nor a fraught right,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: nor penance can efface fatal fault or diestined sorrow, For
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: it is decreed on high. On this day twelve months later,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: this ill fated prince will die. Shook the startled king
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: in terror and in fear and trembling pride. Unto short lived,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: faded bridegroom, neaver, my child shall be alive. Come sabitry,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: your loved maiden. Choose another happier lord. Richina'arth speak at
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: wisdom list unto his holy word, every grace and every
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: virtue is effaced by cruel faith. On this day, twelve
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: months later, leaves this prince his mortal state. Father answered,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: does the maiden soft and sad her ecceens fell, I
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: have heard thy honored mandate, Holy innhert counsels well pardon
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: witless maiden's feelings. But beneath the eye of heaven, only
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: once a maiden choose it twice, her trot may not
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: be given long. His life are be it narrow and
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: his virtues great or none? Brave? Said Tevan is my husband,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: he my heart, and trot hath won. What a maiden's heart.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Hath chosen that a maiden's lives conface true to him.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Thy poor Sabitry goes into the wilderness monarch ought than
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: the Rishi. Fixed is she in mind and heart from
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: her trot, The true savagery never never will depart more,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: and mortal share of virtue unto sat Tevan is given.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Let the true maid wait her chosen. Leave the rest
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: to gracious heaven Ricchi and preceptor Holy. So the hoping

  Speaker 1: bark of trees supplied, her garments drapped upon her bosom
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: fare order red cloth as in Ashram's holy women love

• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Ne'er came the fatal morning by the holy nard told
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: fair Sabitri reckoned daily, and her heart was steel and cold.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Three shot days remaining only, and she took a vow

• 18:44
  Speaker 1: vow she might forego. Hurt the Pannan's gentle daughter, and
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Dioman's limbs are frail. After three nights fast sun viasels,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: she aw that tender healths may fail. Be not anxious
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: loving father meekly does so, he prayed, Penance, I have undertaken,

  Speaker 1: will unto the gods be made much misdoubting than the

  Speaker 1: monarch gave his sad and slow ascent held it fast,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: and once in teardrops, lonesome nights sabbitry spent nearer came
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: the fatal morning, and tomorrow he shall die dark, dark
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: hours of nightly silence, tearless slipless is her eye daunsed
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: that read and faded morning, said Sabatry, bloodless, brave, prayed
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: her forment prayers in silence to the fire oblagians gave,

• 19:45
  Speaker 1: toood with the usual morning blessing. With amazed downighor be

  Speaker 1: anchorites and aged brahmins blessed Sabatry fervently. All that blessing
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: fell upon her like the rain on thirsty air. Struggling
• 20:01

  Speaker 1: of sung and beauteous feeder trilled a note in every grove.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Sweeter accents fell upon her from her husband's leaves of love.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Still with thoughtful eye, Sanvitery watched her dear and faded lord.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Flail of grief was in her bosom, but her pale

• 25:13
  Speaker 1: and the fatal news he carried cream and godlike, dark
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: and high. And he stood in solemn silence, looked in
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: silence on the dead, and sabatry on the greensword gently

• 31:24
  Speaker 1: He shall leave to be a father, and your children

  Speaker 1: too shall reign. For a women's trot aboude it longer
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: than the flitting bread, and the woman's love abideth higher
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: than the doom of death. Six return home vanish. Then
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: the sable monarch and Savagery held her way, where in
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: dense and darksome forest, still her husband, lifeless lay, and
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: she sat upon the greensword by the cold, unconscious death
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: on her lafe. With deeper kindness placed her consort's lifeless head,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: and that touch of true affection trilled him back to
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: waking life. As returned from distant regions, gazed the prince
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: upon his wife a violin two long and slumbered, Sweet Savagery,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: faithful spouse, But I dreamed a sable person in a
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: news took forth My life pillowed on this lap, she answered, long,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: upon the arch he lay, and the sable person husband
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: he had come and passed away. Rise and leave this
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: darksome forest, if thou feelest light and strong, for the
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: night is on the jungle, and our way is dark
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: and long. Rising as from happy slumber looked at young
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: prince on all round, saw the wide extending jungle, mantling
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: all the darksome ground. Yes, he said, I now remember
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: ever loving faithful days. A ween source of fruit and
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: fuel to this lonesome forest came. As I hewed, the
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: gnarled branches crawl aguish filled my brain, and I laid
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: me on the greensword with a throbbing, piercing pain pillowed
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: on thy gentle bosom. Solaced by thy gentle love, I
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: was soothed and drowsy. Slumber fell on me from skies
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: above all was dark, And then I witnessed, Was it
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: but a flitting dream, God our reason? Dark and dretful
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: in the deepening shadows gleam? Was this dream? My fair Savagery,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: dost thou of this vision? Know? Tell me? For before
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: my eyesight still the vision seems to grow. Darkness thickens,
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: said Savagery, And the evening wax at late, when the
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: morrow's light return it, I shall all these scenes narrate.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Now arise, for darkness gathers deeper grows the gloomy night,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: and I, loving anxious parents, trembling wait thy welcome sight
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: hark the rangers of the forest, how their voices strike
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: the year prowlers of the darksome jungle, How they feel
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: my breast with fear. Forest fire is raising yonder, for
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: I see a distant glam and the rising evening breezes.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: How the red and radiant beam. Let me fetch a
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: barning fagot and prepare a friendly light with these fallen
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: witered branches, chase the shadows of the night. And if
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: feebles steal thy footsteps, long and weary is our way
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: by the fire, repose my husband, and return by light
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: of day. For my parents, fondly anxious, said Tevan thus
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: made reply paints my heart and yearns my bosom latest
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: to their cottage high when I tear it in the jungle,
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: or by day or dewy eve surging in the hermitages.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Often did my parents grew, And with father's soft reproaches,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: and with mother's loving fears, chide me for my tardy footsteps.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Dee'd me with your gentle tears, Take then of my
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: father's sorrow, of my mother's sowful plith. If a far
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: in wood and jungle pass with now the live long night, wife, beloved,
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: I may not fathom what masshop or load of care,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: unknown dangers, unknown sorrows, even now my parents sare gentle
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: drops of filial sorrow trickled down his manly eye. Pawn
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Savagery sweetly, speaking, softly wiped the tear drops dry. Trust me, husband.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: If Savagery hath been faithful in her love, if she
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: had with pious offerings served arighty as God's above, if
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: she had his sister's kindness unto brother man performed, if
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: she had in speech and action unto holy truth, conformed
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: unknown blessings mighty glad trust to her faithful wife, and
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: not sorrows or disasters wait deceive our parents' life. Then
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: she rose and tied her tresses, gently helped her lord
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: to rise, walked to him. The pathless jangle looked at
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: love into his eyes. On her neck, his clasping left
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: arm sweetly wines in soft embrace round his waist. Savagery's
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: rider doth sweetly interlace. As they walked the darksome jungle,
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: silent stars looked from above, and the host and throbbing
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: midnight watched Savitri's Deathless love and of Book five
