Know, that many would be glad to be wooed as was that old ascetic, and as thou art now. And then, Aja strove to awake as it were from a dream.
It is curious to contrast this childhood, in the almost cloistered seclusion of the Fichtelgebirge, with Goethe's at cosmopolitan Frankfurt or even with Schiller's at Marbach. Much that came unsought, even to Schiller, Richter had a struggle to come by; much he could never get at all. The place of "Frau Aja" in the development of the child Goethe's fancy was taken at Joditz by the cow-girl.
It is a very bad omen, in India, for a vulture to settle on a house. A female vulture. I retain the original word, because it seems to be peculiarly expressive of the thing. So as Aja stood, lost in wonder at the old King's story, his daughter suddenly rose to her feet with a shrill cry. And she exclaimed: O son of a King, fly quickly!
And they mounted their camels, and taking his, they flew away from him over the sand, like the shadow of a cloud driven by the western wind. So when they were gone, Aja took the knife, and cut his bonds. And he stood up, and watched them going, till they became specks on the edge of the desert, and vanished out of his sight.
And all at once, she abruptly altered her position, and her eyes fell straight on Aja, standing just before her. And she lifted up, first one eyebrow, and then the other, till they formed a perfect bow, for they joined each other in the middle. And she uttered a faint cry, as if in joy, exclaiming: Ha! can it be, and is it thou? Or am I dreaming still?
And at his side, sorrowful as he, was the Empress Eleanor. Behind them, in another carriage, came the aja, with the crown prince of Austria in her arms. Alas! not even for that innocent babe was there safety to be found in the doomed city. The people, like madmen, rushed through the streets behind the imperial cortege.
'She begins with light' thus means 'she has Brahman for her cause. 'For thus some read in their text, i.e. because the members of one Sakha, viz the Taittiriyas read in their text that this 'aja' has Brahman for her cause.
This view is rejected by the Sutra, on the ground that there is no intimation of a special circumstance determining the acceptance of the Prakriti as assumed by the Sankhyas, i.e. independent of Brahman; for that she is aja, i. e. not born, is not a sufficiently special characteristic. Up.
And between these two conditions there is no contradiction. Up. Others, however, are of opinion that the one aja of which the mantra speaks has for its characteristics light, water, and earth. To them we address the following questions.
And then she took his hand, and held it for a little while, with a clutch that almost hurt him, gazing at him with thirsty eyes. And suddenly, she threw away his hand, and pushed him away roughly, saying: Go. But Aja caught her in his arms, and kissed her yet again, as it were against her will. And he said: O fearful heart, be not afraid. Very soon, I will return.
