[The Poison Tree by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee]@TWC D-Link bookThe Poison Tree CHAPTER X 12/13
In this fight, Bhagadatta being invincible, and Arjuna vulnerable, the latter called Krishna to his aid, who, receiving the charge of Bhagadatta on his breast, blunted the force of the weapons.[7] In like manner, Satish Chandra having received these attacks on his face, peace was restored.
But their peace and war was like the dropping of clouds, fitful. [Footnote 7: An illustration drawn from the _Mahabharat_.] Then Srish asked, "Must you really go to Govindpur? What am I to do alone ?" "Do you think I can go alone ?" answered his wife.
"We must both go. Arrange matters in the morning when you go to business, and come home quickly.
If you are long, Satish and I will sit crying for you." "I cannot go," replied Srish.
"This is the season for buying linseed. You must go without me." "Come, Satish," was Kamal's reply; "we two will go and weep." At the sound of his mother's voice Satish ceased to gnaw the pencil, and raised another shout of joyous laughter.
