no good without akarnta. The only
one who can make karma fruitful is
God. Only the karma of those who
love God and keep faith in him be-
comes effective. Those who keep
faith in karma alone and forget
akarnla go to hell and remain there
for many, many years, and being
entangled in the snares of karma
they are born again and again to,
trouble and suffering, until they
learn akarma, when they receive sal
vation.
Here comes Virabhadra, now.
You go back to your sacrifice and I'll
see what | can do with this fellow"
Vishnu went out and threw his
sudarihana at Vira bhadra, but Vira-
bhadra caught it in his mouth and
swallowed it to the hilt. Where
upon Vishnu saw that there was no
use contending against an expert Of
that caliber, and, seizing his sudar-
lhana in both hands, he withdrew it
and went to his abode in the heavens
to mediate on the marvels he had
seen.
Vlrabhadra entered the sacriicial
hall and disgraced the deities Swa
dha and Swaha and broke the teeth of
another. Daksha had taken refuge in
the female apartments, but Vira-
bhadra found him and dragged him
out and tried to cut off his head.
Daksha, however, was the Dilzshit
or initiated host of the holy sacrifice
and his head could not be cut off.
Virabhadra solved the difficulty by
wrlnging Daksha's meek and throw
ing his head into the sacritcial fire.
Brahma felt very bad about his
sons losing his head and went to
Shlwa's heaven to intervene Shiwa
was becoming modified by this time
and consented to the restoration of
Daksha's head, but Virabhadra was
unable to find Daksha's head in the
ashes and so stuck on Daksha's trunk
the head of one of the goats brought
for the sacrifice. The combination
worked perfectly we'll.
Became the Cuckoo Goddess
shiwa had been displeased by his
wife Salts jumping in the fire with
New-York tribune., 1920-08-29

herself, "but it is sinful to talk evil
about a great god like Shiwa." And
then she got to thinking some more,
and she said: "But it is just as bad
to listen, and as | have listened |
cannot show my face to my dear
husband again. The only way I
can prove my respect and devotion
to him and vindicate his honor ana
reputation is by offering my sinful
body to the holy fire"
Without stopping to argue any
more she rushed over and threw her
self into the sacrificial fire and was
seen no more.
That was the origin of the rite of
sati, but it was only the beginning
of the trouble that came out Of Oak
sha's party.
Narada, the joker, carried the
story of the festival to Shiwa, who
in his grief pulled out two great
handfuls of his matted hair and
dashed them against the rocky sides
of the mountain, Kailas. Immediate
y there appeared Virabhadra,
male warrior, and Kali, a female
New-York tribune., 1920-08-29

warrior. Shiwa ordered them to
destroy Dakshas sacrifice.
AS soon as Daksha saw Sati
throw herself in the fire he knew
there was going to be trouble, and
he got the gods over to one side to
decide what to do.
"Shiwa is going to be very angry
about this" he said. "It wasn't
our fault. She was so quick, no
one could stop her. But there isn't
going to be any use trying to
explain to Shiwa until he gets over
his rage. 1t means war. His
heaven against our heaven, and
we've got to get busy"
"Daksha is right said Indra. at
means war"
So the gods quietly left the sac,
rifice and lined up for battle. Indra
was mounted on AlfaWat, ms ele-
phant; Chandra, the moon, was on
a deer; Yama, death, was on buff
falo; Kuber, wealth, was in his bal
loon named Pushpaka; Varuna,
water, was on a crocodile; Agni,
fire, was on ram, and Nirritti be-
strobe human corpse. But when
Shiwa's army came there were
earthquakes, showers of blood and
darkness, and the gods of Daksha's
side knew they could not win. They
fought little while to make show
and then withdrew under cover of
q thunderstorm.

The cuckoo is the most sacred of
all birds for the Hindus, and Kama
khala Tirtha, the scene of the cuckoo
legend, where Daksha performed the
sacrifice and Sati jumped in the holy
fire, is still considered a place of
great sanctity. 1t is about mile
and half from Haridwar and con-

Daksha Prajapati, father of Sati.

of whom the most distinguished were
Marichi and Daksha. Daksha had
100 daughters but no sons. His eld-
est and most beautiful daughter,
Sati, was married to Shiwa, the god
OF destruction. In those days the
Hindu Trinity had not been created,
but Shiwa was an independent ruler
with heaven of his own, and it was
considered a great honor for Oak
sha's daughter to be chosen to be
Shiwa's wife. Both Daksha and
Shrlyadevl, his wife, were highly
tiattered. Yet, there were draw

Didn't Invite Sati

Daksha invited all the learned
Rishis to come to the sacrifice
and all the gods, including Indra,
Brahma and Vishnu. He also in
vited all his daughters and sons-in-
law, excepting Sati and Shiwa. He
intended to keep the whole thing
secret from Sati and Shiwa until
after the sacrifice was over, but Sati
learned of the plans from one of her
maids. Sati was very angry and
went to Shiwa with the story. She
said she was going to her father

asked to be allowed to take part in

You are making a great mistake
when you leave us out of YOUR
party" she said to Daksha. "You
say you want son and then you
don't invite Shiwa to your sacrifice.
Don't you know that every one who
wants a son has to begin by praying
to Shiwa? Ask any one who knows.
Don't talk to me about Kapla. How
many sons has kapila got? What
does he know about sons? And. be-
sides, didn't Shiwa cut off one of the
five faces Of Brahma?"
Daksha got red in the race and
told Sati to sit down and be quiet
or go home.
"shiwa has no place in this sacri-
fee," he told her, land you haven't
either, now that you are married to
Shiwa. Shiwa has a heaven and
hell and a complete mythology all
his own. He doesn't follow the path
of the Vedas and has no place in

she also loved her husband. and

One afternoon late in June Oak
sha and Shriyadevi were sitting on
the side porch talking things over.
There had just been a big double
wedding in the house for the mar
riage of the last pair of twins, and
Shriyadevi was congratulating her
self that all the girls were married
to men with Independent incomes or

"And Nhst 1. <s,msehinS in these

"Yes,' Daksha agreed, "we've done

returning to the old grievance, chat

know what that means"

So Daksha and Shriyadevi agreed
to ask Kapila what they might do to
have son. Kapila said that the
one sure and unfailing Yoga for
man-child was the sacrifice of Put
rakameshti. He said it had never
been known to miss, and so. with
Shriyadevi's consent, Daksha made
preparations for the sacrifice at
Kanakhala Tirtha.

A school Of chorus girls started by

the high prices prevent them from

The Ronsay pupils include the

who are listed among those who, rich
before the war, are now accounted
poor. The daughters of society are
taught their profession side by side
with professional chorus girls culled

strange friendships have resulted.
In La Grande Pastorale, a fantasy
