4y1 L , THE RELATIONS OF MAN AND .WOMAN lu the beginning, when Twashtri ttiodl came to the creation of woman, he found that he had exhausted his materials in the making of man, and that no solid elements were left. In this dilemma, after profound meditation. he did as follows. He took the rotundity of the moon, and the curves of the creepers, and the clinging of tendrils, and the trembling of grass, and thc slenderness of the reed. and the bloom of flowers, and the lightness of leaves, and the timidity of the hare, and the vanity of the peacock, and the clustering of rovvs of bees, and the joyous gaiety of sunbeams. and the weeping of clouds. and the fickleness of the winds, and the softness of the parrot's bosom. and the hardness of adamant. and the sweetness of honey, and the cruelty of the tiger, and the warm glow of fire, and the coldness of snow, and the chat- tering of jay, and the cooing of the kokila. and the hypocrisy of the crane. and the fidelity of the chakrawaka, and compounding all these togetlzer, he made woman and gave her to man. But after one week man came to him and said: Lord, this creature that you have given me makes my life miserable. She chatters incessantly and teases me beyond endurance, never leaving me aloneg and she requires incessant attention, and takes up all my time and cries about nothing, and is always idle: and so l have come to give her back again. as l cannot live with her. So God said: Very Well: and he took her back. Then after another week man came to him and said: Lord, l find that my life is very lonely, since l gave you back that creature. l remember how she used to dance and sing to me, and look at me out of the corner of her eye, and play with me, and cling to me: and her laughter was music and she was beautiful to look at. and soft to touch: so give her back to me again. So God said: Yery well: and he gave her back again. Then after only three days, man came back to him again and said: Lord. l know not how it is, but after all I have come to the conclusion that she is more of a trouble than a pleasure to meg so please take her back again. llut God said: Out on you! lie off! l will have no more of this. You must manage how you can. Then man said: Hut l cannot live with her. ,Xnd God replied: Neither can you live without her. And he turned his back on man, and went on with his work. Then man said: XVhat is to be done? For l cannot live either with her or without her.
