This is Samsar
dense cloud of despair, there had flashed unexpectedly a radiant lightning which brought her heavenly felicity and it had disappeared immediately. But Anjana in the light of that lightning-flash had visualized the possibility of a prosperous and felicitous future. But now her future seemed bleak and blighted but still she kept hoping against hope believing that hope would create out of its own wreck the thing it contemplated.

The chariot moved slowly in the direction of Mahendranagar passing through villages, towns and districts, through woods, plains and forests. The commander who was driving the chariot was maintaining absolute silence. Even he was plunged in absolute grief. After sometime Anjana and Vasant Tilaka became deeply absorbed in a meditation upon the Pancha Parameshti. They could hear nothing on the way except the wild roars and howls of the animals of the forest and the soft and melodious cries of the birds flying over them. Everywhere silence prevailed. Now and then, they could hear the neighing of the horses. Sometimes they could hear the charioteer heaving long sighs of pain and grief.
When the sun was setting in the west, the chariot reached the outskirts of the city of Mahendranagar. The charioteer pulled the reins and slowly the chariot came to a halt. The commander got off the chariot with his heart palpitating. He bowed to Anjana and his eyes welled up with tears and the tears streamed down his face.
Assisted by Vasanta, Anjana alighted from the chariot.
"Dear mother! Kindly pardon me. I am only like a slave carrying out the commands of the king". He could not say anything more. His voice was choked with emotion. His face grew pale. He could find no words to give expression to his thoughts and feelings.
"Noble man! You have not caused any harm to me. You are merely doing your duty. All this is the result of my own sinful Karmas. Please do not agitate yourself". There was deep silence for a while. Absolute stillness prevailed everywhere. Within
