one day

there would come ...

he forgot his real character

was constantly honored

with

Odes

Praises

that made him so happy

he felt drunk

a Dogeater

ruled the kIra.Parrot-folk

for eight years

his conduct was proper & noble

for all that time he was an upright King

* Murty / SV read <Arya-vRtta> as compassion and concern / purity.

its stricter meaning is "one of Aryan conduct, Proper".

*vlm. He managed himself in an honourable manner all along that time.

* #kIra appears to be #kirAta, in himAlayan country, where the chaNDAla Tales will occur http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirata_Kingdom links to sources dealing with this and the Celestials as Vedic tribes.

as.it.happened

somewhen

then

he lay down

throwing off his fancy robe

so that the stars & moon & sun

seemed to vanish

in a dark cloud

* the brightness of his robe, the darkness of his skin

~vlm. He was once sitting at his pleasure and without his regal attire in the open air; and was looking at the clear firmament, which was devoid of clouds and darkness, and without the light of the sun, moon and stars.

he did not much care for garlands, bracelets, & jewelry

not he

his main Affection was extended to the Realm, trinkets did not please him

~VA. ... his mind was full of thoughts of increasing the power (of the country), so he was not delighted (in ornaments)

~AS. ... his enhanced mind (prabhutAbRMhitam cetaH) was not pleased by objects of consumption.
~vlm. His heart was full with the enjoyment of royal dignity....

once

he went alone to the outer courtyard

in his undress

away from the attentions of the women

as the sun leaves his heavens

to take his rest

~vlm.7. He went abroad at one time in this naked state of his body and beheld the setting sun bending his course below the horizon from his wonted path of glory.

~AS. mukhy+AGgaNAt (from the main courtyard) nabhobhAgAt (from the sky) astam this joins with the rest to make this meaning: Dressed thus with a single garment, he exited alone from the main courtyard; like sun stepping out of a region of the sky.

there

he saw

a dark black

fat

dog-lover servant

singing to his fellows of the rise of sweet springtime

like a cucking cuckoo

~vlm. He saw there a band of chandálas of black complexions and big bodies, singing like melodious cuckoos the approach of the vernal season.

~sv.7-8-9 Outside the palace he saw a group of tribesmen who were singing familiar songs. Quietly he joined them and also began to sing with them.

he plucked the lute-strings with single.finger-picking play

a sweet-buzz of delight

like a line of bees buzzing a tree

one of them listening stood up

an old man with a wrinkled face and hair like the snow on Crystal.Mountain

(he was the Dogeater Chief)

THE DOGEATER CHIEF—

(so he hollered at the Great Lord of the kIra.Parrot People)

did the King somehow hire you to dance for him?

no, he fancies a sweet-voiced red-throat

the passionate cuckoo

when he's had his fill of palaces & fancy clothing & high seats

sweetie-pie,

you must be a mango*tree go.boy

with those flowers and fruit

seeing you now

I'm almost in nirvANa

* a viTapa.tree has connotations of roguery and slim boy prostitutes. "goboy" is prison slang.

~vlm.13. I am as much glad to see you here today (in this happy condition of yours), as men are pleased to see the mango tree, fraught with its fruits and flowers in spring.

~sv. Ah, I am delighted to see you: who will not rejoice to meet an old friend again?"

how sweet it is

it's like

water in the flower-beds,

wandering the mountain.slopes,

a sage in his forest cabin,

a hunter killing a deer

* the metaphors are clumsily satirical. is he drunk?

~vlm.14. I am as glad in my heart as the budding lotus at the sight of the rising sun, and the seline or medicinal plants at moon rise; and as great men are pleased with all their best gains, so am I pleased at seeing thee here, because the highest limit of joys is the sight of a friend.

of endless nights

of neighbors & relatives

the Dogeater talked so much to the King of this and that

he had the Wheel of Fortune spinning backward

*vlm. ... the wheel of time had turned to his favor.

all this

the women at their windows heard

(and the servants too)

when they realized that their King is really a shva'pacha.Dogeater

they became rather upset

~vlm.16. At this instant his consorts and servants that were standing at the window, overheard their conversation, and were in deep sorrow to learn that he was a Chandála by birth.

the ManLord

ignored

all this Dogeater sass

they're cats on a tree.top

yowling down

the king of beasts

~AS. The king disdained all those derogatory words of the chandalas (zva-paca), like a lion king of the beasts would ignore cats hissing from tree-tops.

he entered the Inner City

an wearily faded Man

when there is no rain

bone.dry

the lake.born bird returns to the lake

*jd. he leaves his troubles at the gate of the Inner City

(the Women's Quarters, not a slum – the same term is used for the harem of a Chinese Emperor)

~vlm.19. He fled in haste into the inner apartment, and among its sorrowful inmates, with as much palpitation of his heart, as the reluctant swan enters a lake of withering lotuses, in the dry season.

he rested in exhaustion

disease may rot a part of it to punkwood, which

struck by lightning

becomes a smoldering hole.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/azibmm270hu9v7l/Knee%20Root%20-%20Mangrove.docx?dl=0

~VA/AS. All his limbs become limp and withered, legs unsteady as trees with a fire burning in its hollow.

the ministers, the citizens

—since he was not of Arya.Nobility—

they would not even touch that Lord of the Earth

he might as well be a corpse rotting in the charnel-house

~sv.22 They began to avoid him; they treated him as if he were a putrid corpse.

~m.23 The citizens avoided him. The courtiers did not pay any attention to his orders. All felt that his presence was inauspicious. People started running away from him as if a demon was approaching them. Thus he became like a stranger among his own people. People, and the ministers took to the extreme step of purifying themselves through religious rites as redemption from the associations with a chandala for several years.

~sv. Thus neglected by his ministers, servants and the ladies-in-waiting who used to adorn him, Gavala began to appear in his real form — as a dark and ugly tribesman, hideous to look at, like a crematorium.

~vlm.23. The servants ceased to minister unto him, and the ladies with all their love and sorrowed for him, loathed his company.
