The woman has notbeen educated nor did she have company ofeducated
people, but she is intuitive. She is thoughtful and can understand and assess
quite well. She is an appreciator of good things and is influenced by nice
thinhTS .
At this moment her ears are listening to a sweet and loving tune. Her eyes
are fixed that side. Her mind is immersed in enjoying the sweet music. She is
sitting still like a statue. It is the north of the river where her eyes are focused
and ears are hearing. From there is coming the sound of divine music that is
refreshing her soul. The river Ravi's water current is also coming from that
