Aklishtakarman literally means one who is not tired with what he does; hence, one who easily achieves the highest feats. When applied to Krishna or any divine personage it means one who does everything by a fiat of his will, without being dependent on means like ordinary persons. It may also mean one of pure or white deeds. The Bengal reading is Sa vai devas. The Bombay reading is Purvadevas.
But on March 11, 1917, an Austrian detachment, in the Concei-Ledro Valley, in the Westerdak, after violent artillery and trench-mortar bombardment against Bezzecoa and Mount View, attacked the Italian position in the small valley of Vai, northeast of Lenzumo. The Austrians were repulsed and a few prisoners were taken.
The words rang out with military precision, and the speaker's horse pawed clangorously, as if impatient for the charge. The men grew death-pale, the women wrung their hands. 'Ai, vai! they moaned. 'Woe! woe! 'What boy? What blood? said the Shamash, undaunted. 'Don't palter, you rascal! You know well that a Christian child has disappeared.
"Kaoha!" he said, with a wide smile of welcome, and with him and Vai, my next-door neighbor, I returned gladly to my paepae. Vai, or in English, Water, was a youth of twenty years, a dandy; on ordinary occasions naked, except for the pareu about his loins, but on Sundays or when courting rejoicing in the gayest of Europeanized clothes.
Ai vai!" "Five hundred dollars!" Abe exclaimed. "If you think you should cry till you get five hundred dollars out of me, you got a long wet spell ahead of you. That's all I got to say." "Might he would take two hundred and fifty dollars, maybe," Mrs. Sheikman suggested hopefully through her tears.
It's a good-looking loft, Mawruss, only it's certain sure we couldn't have no machines in that loft." "Ai vai!" Goldman exclaimed, rocking to and fro in his chair and striking his head with his clenched fist. "Nu Goldman?" Morris asked. "What's the trouble with you?" "Troubles enough he got it, Mawruss," Abe said, as he watched Goldman's evolutions of woe.
"I got a suggestion, Abe," Morris went on, "that we sell it our machines on long terms of credit to Goldman, and he should go into the contracting business; ain't it?" "Ai vai!" Goldman cried again, and commenced to rock anew. "Stop it, Goldman," Abe yelled. "What's the trouble now?" "What show does a feller got it what starts as a new beginner in cloak contracting already?" Goldman wailed.
In the minds of my happy companions at the vai puna, modesty had no more to do with clothing than, among us, it had to do with food. The standards of the individual are everywhere formed by the mass-opinion of those about him; I came from my bath, replaced my garments, and felt myself Marquesan. The sensation was false.
After half an hour's run to the north-west my bearers, raising loud shouts of "Alii! vai sempre!" dashed into the market-place where about a hundred souls were assembled. The women rose in terror from their baskets and piles of vendibles; some began hastily to pack up, others threw themselves into the bush.
Is it not just then that we should have some recompense, that certain of our needs should be considered?". "Povera e nuda vai, filosofia", I muttered to myself, admiring that old man, ignorant and bare, who in the rough, broken phrases of his poor language solved with the greatest simplicity questions of civil rights which a University professor would have found complicated and even difficult.
