Wait, let's check the text of A very carefully: "The quelling of Kāliya; in" wait, what does it say? Let's reverse: `TʜE quelling of Kāliya; in` -- wait: `edt ɘmoɔrɘvo ꙅi ɒγilāX ni ;ɒγilāX to ϱnillɘup ƎHT` Wait! `in Kāliya is overcome`? No! Look at: `edth ɘmoɔrɘvo ꙅi ɒγilāX ni` -> wait! `... Kāliya is overcome, the` -> `the wives of the serpent are praying to the Lord to spare his life.` Wait, what is before `Kāliya is overcome`? Let's read the mirrored text backwards: First line of paragraph A: `edth ɘmoɔrɘvo ꙅi ɒγilāX ni ;ɒγilāX to ϱnillɘup ƎHT` Wait! "in Kāliya is overcome the" -> no, "in" is `ni`? Wait: `k`? `in`? Let's read character by character: `T H E q u e l l i n g o f K ā l i y a ;` Then: `i n` ? Wait, is it `i n` or `[something]`? Wait: `... ; Kāliya is overcome, the wives...`? Wait, what is between `;` and `Kāliya`? `; i n` ? No, could it be `here`? No, it has 2 letters: `i n`? No, wait: Is it `in which Kāliya is overcome`? No, it's just: `; i n` -- wait, look at the letters: `ni` -> `i` with a dot, `n`? Wait, could it be `in`? No, in Coomaraswamy's style: Wait! "Kāliya is overcome, the wives of the serpent are praying to the Lord to spare his life." Wait, does it say `in`? Look closely at: `; ɒ γ i l ā X` Wait, between `;` and `Kāliya` there is NO word `in`! Wait, look at: `; ɒ γ i l ā X` -> wait, what is after `;`? Wait, look at the end of that line: `edth`? Let's read from the beginning of line 1: `T H E q u e l l i n g o f K ā l i y a ; K ā l i y a i s o v e r c o m e , t h e` Wait! Where did I see `in`? Ah, `ni` was `.ni` at the end of `10½ in.` on line 3! Yes! `ni` was `.ni`! Let's re-read line 1: `THE quelling of Kāliya; Kāliya is overcome, the` Line 2: `wives of the serpent are praying to the Lord to spare his life.` Line 3: `Pahāṛī (Garhwal), late 18th century; size of original 7½ × 10½ in.` Line 4: `In the possession of Balak Ram Sah, Esq. Vol. i, pp. 31, 32; see also Plates v, x, xlii, and liii.`
