The classic examples here are the Greek Maenads, and the Indian Senas, who accompany Rudra. The conception of a train of theriomorphic, phallic, demons of fertility, with their companion group of fair women. Such are the Satyrs and Nymphs of Greek, the Gandharvas and Apsaras of Indian, Mythology.

The sun, breaking through the clouds, shone on the mountain wall, which stood on the opposite side, touching with his glow the bare and rocky precipices that frowned far above the stream. Descending to the valley, we followed its course towards the Rhone, with the ruins of feudal bourgs crowning the crags above us. It was dusk, when we reached the village of Senas, tired with the day's march.

Y por más señas, que aunque no estuvo el tal enlace tan adelantado como el que seis meses antes tuvimos entre manos, lo estuvo sin embargo lo bastante para dar después mucho que hablar a la gente ociosa. DON EDUARDO. ¿Y dice usted que hubo otro seis meses antes que lo estuvo más?

BRUNO. El Sr. D. Eduardo desea con mucho ahinco hablar con usted. Tan pronto.... BRUNO. Dice que es materia muy grave.... BRUNO. Y que despachará en un santiamén. BRUNO. Yo le he asegurado que usted tendría mucho gusto en recibirle. DON PEDRO. Has hecho muy mal. BRUNO. ¡Como usted le estima tanto! DON PEDRO. ¿Quién te ha dicho eso? BRUNO.

Again, a large body of troops was kept as a reserve for rallying the ranks that would be broken.

The sun, breaking through the clouds, shone on the mountain-wall which stood on the opposite side, touching with his glow the bare and rocky precipices that frowned far above the stream. Descending to the valley, we followed its course toward the Rhone with the ruins of feudal "bourgs" crowning the crags above us. It was dusk when we reached the village of Senas tired with the day's march.

In the twelfth century it again became important under the Gaharwar dynasty. Subsequently the eastern portion of the Pala kingdom separated itself under a rival dynasty known as the Senas. The former are thought to have been originally Gonds. They were great builders and constructed among other monuments the temples of Khajarao.

It then split up into five sultanates with capitals at Bidar, Bijapur, Golkonda, Ahmadnagar and Elichpur. In the twelfth century, the Hindu states were not quite the same as those noticed for the previous period. Kanauj and Gujarat were the most important. The Palas and Senas ruled in Bengal, the Tomaras at Delhi, the Chohans in Ajmer and subsequently in Delhi too.

DON PEDRO. Qué señas ni qué berenjenas ... siempre has de meterte en camisa de once varas. BRUNO. Ya las quisiera yo de tres y media. BRUNO. ¿Conque, por fin, qué le digo? DON PEDRO. Dile que ... que no le quiero recibir ... anda. BRUNO. Bueno ... le diré que había usted salido por la puerta falsa, y que.... DON PEDRO. No, no; que estoy en casa, y que no le quiero recibir.

A portly woman whose face beamed with kindness and cheerfulness stood in the door and invited us to stop there for the night. "No, mother," I answered; "we must go much farther to-day." "Go, then," said she, "with good luck, my children! A pleasant journey!" On entering the inn at Senas two or three bronzed soldiers were sitting by the table.
