Where is the hurry? Why accelerate? Please, pardon me. Do not pound me with such hard words, cruel as a staff's blows. Please talk to me in the common language of the people. Spare me from the chattering of the grammarians; it is as ugly as the gruntings of a camel and it pierces my ears like poison darts." - [Previous: c10.56](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c10.56) - [Next: c10.58](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c10.58) - [Up: c10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c10) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c10.57](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c10.57) · Pramāṇa
