wait: p r o p (morchal) ? Let's read the characters in line 10: It is: "(morchal) pray." ? Wait, look at the first word of line 10: p r o p ? Wait, from right to left (since it's mirrored): The line is indented. Left side is the end of the line, right side is the start of the line! Start of line 10 (at the right): ( m - o - r - c - h - a - l ) Wait, then: t - r - a - y . Wait, look at the order: ( m o r c h a l ) is on the RIGHT? Wait! In mirrored text: English reads left-to-right normally. When mirrored, English reads right-to-left! So the start of a line is at the RIGHT margin! Let's verify: Line 1: "The evening dance of Śiva. The gods on the golden" "The" is at the RIGHT margin! "golden" is at the LEFT margin! YES! So on line 10: The start of line 10 is at the RIGHT! At the right, line 10 has: ( m - o - r - c - h - a - l ) Wait, or is that at the end? Wait, line 10 is: ( m o r c h a l ) t r a y ? No, if start is at the right, what is at the right? At the right of line 10 is: ( m o r c h a l ) Then to its left is: p r a y . ? Wait, no, look at the parenthesis in line 10: Wait, at the far left of line 10: no, line 10 is short! It is in the middle-right. Wait, let's look at line 9: Right margin: c o m p l e x i o n , a r m s - f o l d e d ; a n d h o l d s t h e m o r c h a l Wait, is "complexion" at the right margin of line 9? Wait, where does "fair" go?
