They are on the road. Out of courtesy they make way for him; nobody tries to detain him any longer than for the minimum time needed to exchange courtesies. He sees the lane leading to the \*vesha\*. The Vita suddenly remembers his own exploits in days gone by. Here he had fought with others and forcibly taken away a courtesan; here he had bolted away out of fear. - [Previous: c10.113](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c10.113) - [Next: c10.115](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c10.115) - [Up: c10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c10) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c10.114](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c10.114) · Pramāṇa
