________________
This wonderful incident
makes the wonder much wondering.
On his large forehead
wavy lines of astonishment appear rising upwards;
for some moments his eyelids remain motionless!
His voice becomes dumb
and the hunger dwindles.
Seeing this state of the wonder
the water of the mouth of the srangara (sentiment of sensual enjoyment)
is about to dry,
and
the relishable narrative of the sensuous ones becomes ray-blind!
'Oh Lord! When will the blind, the sensuously blind ones
get the smell of light?' Thus the craftsman draws a deep breath.
Then express the words of address:
"How will he get taste in the taste who has beem enamoured of the tasteless?
Will he desire to touch the touch who touches the touchless?
