Their hands grasping the triple-staff, their twisted hair holding the water-vessel, hearing the words of Buddha's welcome, they forthwith changed into complete Sramanas; the leaders two and all their followers, assuming the complete appearance of Bhikshus, with prostrate forms fell down at Buddha's feet, then rising, sat beside him, and with obedient heart listening to the word, they all became Arhats.
And the fish which had a body glistening like the rays of the moon when taken out of the water was put back in an earthen water-vessel. And thus reared that fish O king, grew up in size and Manu tended it carefully like a child. And after a long while, it became so large in size, that there was no room for it in that vessel. And there again the fish grew for many a long year.
By this time Punch had reached the little loft-like chamber, where Pen was lying beside the water-vessel. "What game's this, comrade?" he whispered, breathless with his exertions. "Hist! Hist!" came from below. "It's all very fine," muttered Punch to himself; and he changed his position, with the result that the boards upon which he knelt creaked once more. "Hist! Hist!" came again from below.
Moreover, he had the hope of speedy deliverance, which to Congo was denied. He knew that Arend would soon return to the camp with the stray horse, and miss them. The water-vessel would also be missed, and a search would be made for it in the right direction.
"My word!" he said, wrinkling his forehead, "I believe I shall have to lift the water-vessel yet, though it is hardly fit to lift, it is so wet and nasty."

He went behind the buggy and lifted the hind wheels.
It is said that the box is brought to Simla from a place sixty miles off by relays of men, who may not stop nor set the box on the ground the whole way. In Scotland, when water was carried from sacred wells to sick people, the water-vessel might not touch the earth.
Indeed, these forest recluses entering into woods and forests live within them as disciples, obtaining a preceptor, live with him. The performance of the rites of Homa is their duty, as also the observance of the five sacrifices. Indeed, they should live even thus in the forest. The sacrificial ladle and the water-vessel are their chief wealth. They are always devoted to the three fires.
And whether you look up or down, there is always a picture in the dark frame against the bright background a woman in a scarlet kerchief with a water-vessel of antique form, or a ragged brown boy leading a ragged brown donkey, or a soldier in gay uniform striking a light for his pipe.

The tiled roof projecting in the shadow above, protects the first Ceramicus-home. I think the women are meant to be carrying some kind of wicker or reed-bound water-vessel. The Potter's servant explains to them the extreme advantages of the new invention. I can't make any conjecture about the author of this piece. Riding. Again Andrea Pisano's, it seems to me.
