________________
With open eyes
the group of pitchers
is also observing the event happening
above.
But,
on no one's face
is there any confusing wave of fear; only witnessing spontaneously, everything is being sensed, simple as well as poisonous, total as well as partial !
Surprising it is,
no hailstone coming down
has been able to break any pitcher,!
As to the question of victory and defeat
the earth particles have won
and
the hara (garland) of the hara (defeat),
dead and withered,
devoid of all fragrance,
is hanging over the neck of the clouds and hailstones.
252 Silent Spil
Yet,
the arrival of new clouds,
further production of hailstones,
now and then flash of lightning, intensification of the battle, strife,
restlessness, knavery,
adverse intimations from the sea,
cruelty etc., etc.,
all these are the results
