I stared back and forth from this paragon in a charioteer's tunic to the stolid lump on the Imperial throne, perplexed at the enigma, feeling just on the verge of comprehension, but baffled. There were about two hundred chariots, for very few teams were entered to race twice.
The princess went affectionately towards the charioteer's wife, who bowed low before her at the threshold; she took her chin with her right hand, kissed her delicate narrow forehead, and said: "Sweet creature! At last you have come uninvited to see lonely me! It is the first time since our men went away to the war.
The arrow cut through the air, and fell with fearful force on the charioteer's helmet; the shield fell from his grasp, and he put his hand to his head, feeling stunned; he heard Paaker's laugh of triumph, he felt another of his enemy's arrows cut his wrist, and, beside himself with rage, he flung away the reins, brandished his battle-axe, and forgetting himself and his duty, sprang from the chariot and rushed upon Paaker.
Anyone who chooses may, from this pronouncement, set me down as a credulous ninny, if it suits his notions. When Palus drove a chariot in the circus he never appeared with his face fully exposed, but invariably wore over its upper portion the half-mask of gauze, which is designed to protect a charioteer's eyes from dust and flying grains of sand.
He would have liked that they, too, should have seen the horses and the chariots and the "Blue" charioteer's turquoises and sapphires; although a decurion observed, as he saw them, that a Roman patrician would scorn to dress out his person with such barbaric splendor, and an Alexandrian of the praetorian guard declared that his fellow-citizens of Greek extraction thought more of a graceful fold than of whole strings of precious stones.
In another moment the coach moved, doubtfully; then amid the rush and roar they could hear the cheer of their charioteer's voice, and the frightened animals plunged on again. Presently, encouraged perhaps by a little opening in the smoke, they dashed forward as heartily as ever, and yes the smoke was less thick and the air less dark, and momentarily brightening. The worst was over.
He leaped back into the room, which was now filling with smoke, snatched the king's bow and quiver, which he himself had hung up at the bed-head, took careful aim, and with one cry the incendiary fell dead. A few hours later the dwarf Nemu was found with the charioteer's arrow through his heart.
The kings uttered not a word of protest, solely because they were a set of imbeciles. Thou didst not, O Sanjaya, then say what law and morality were, but now thou comest to instruct the son of Pandu! Then in that hall, while Krishna stood, the charioteer's son addressed her in the presence of her fathers-in-law saying, "O Daughter of Drupada thou hast no refuge.
