organization of society. The solution has been presented by analyzing the modern social set-up as per the modern context, not plainly, but through the figurative and suggestive ways of poetry.
Queer it is that we get the understanding of social duty through a bed-bug:
Alas, the greedy, sinful men
make prana-grahana (killing) of the pani grahana (marriage).
They unjustly take service from the servants and disburse the pay also improperly. They call themselves
the sons of Manu!
Liberal man!
Hearing the name 'give'
symptoms of paralysis begin to be seen in their generous hands,
yet, whatever is given or has to be given in the form of one or half drop,
they give with ill-will.
The receiver cannot properly digest that,
otherwise,
why is our blood so foul-smelling
even being red?" (Page 389)
And the bed-bug says to the Seth:
"Do not give dry temptation,
live a self-reliant life,
give up deceitful cleverness!
Pay homage to humility, the mother of greatness!
