would become flowers far more beautiful
than they had been. Men would all them
fragrant and graceful, but only the flower
nymphs and the music-spirits would
know that their fragrance was song.
Day by day, he ate less, and his dark
eyes became larger and more luminous.
The maiden. whom he supposed to be a
nymph, was always in his dreams.
Again and again, he asked, "Why will
not my soul go out Of this body, that
may become a Gandharva 2"
At last, by starvation and intense long,
ing. he wasted away and died. The old
hermit buried him tenderly, and on the
grave of his innocent and beloved child,
he shed his last tear, and struggled with
his last human emotion. He did not know
that the poetic, loving, intense spirit, of the
child carried with him all his rem embran-
ces of moon-lit groves, and dream music,
and hower|nymphs, and performed anoth-
err human pill grimage in the form of Mo-
Fart, before it became Gandharva.
On himself, he felt that the greatest of
Hindoo affections had fallen for he had
now no child to offer funeral sacrifice for
him when he departed from the body );
and this his creed taught him was essen
tial to the welfare cf his soul. But he
meekly accepted this destiny as a punish
ment he deserved. Nothing remains
for me now" he said, "but severe penance
for my sins, and remote hope that, by
complete humiliation of the body. l may
finally attain to complete absorption in the
Divine Mind, and thus remain in immor-
tai paradise" He made terrible VOWS Of
and fulfilled them. Day and
night he stood on tiptoe without food
In summer he exposed himself to the hot
sunshine. and in winter he lived in the
water. Finally, he made row to walk
thousand miles with his arms perpetually
stretched upward. But before he had
half fulfilled his task, the poor abused body
fell down exhausted, and strangers hid it
in the earth.
