mark made with yellow pigment. He had arched eyebrows, pretty well-matched ears and
curly darkblue hair that scattered their charm all round. A thin yellow garment set off His
swarthy person, and His shrill gleeful cry and glance captivated me. Thus frolicking in the
courtyard of the royal palace, the All-beautiful danced at the sight of His own shadow and

And when I approached Him to lay hold of His feet He scampered off, turning round again
and again to look at me. Seeing Him play like an ordinary child I was overcome by
bewilderment : ìWhat ! are these actions in anyway worthy of Him who is knowledge and
