The arrow-smith with hard dry reeds and feathers from the airy birds, Bronze for the tips, and glowing coals, seeks out the man who’ll pay him best. I am a poet, dad’s a leech, and mother grinds corn on the quern: As cows go following, one on one, we all seek wealth in different ways. The horse likes a light-laden cart, gay hosts attract the laugh and jest: Man longs for woman, natural as the parched frogs longing for the rains. - [Previous: c14.70](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.piggott-1950.c14.70) - [Next: c14.72](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.piggott-1950.c14.72) - [Up: c14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.piggott-1950.c14) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.piggott-1950.c14.71](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.piggott-1950.c14.71) · Pramāṇa
