Naravahanadatta also observed that even the tillers of the soil and the herdsmen were engaged in playing the \*vinas\*. Near the city gate he found wagons carrying parts of \*vinas\*. These were all for sale. Soon they reached the market road and Naravahanadatta found to his surprise that carpenters, potters and cane-workers were all playing the \*vina\*. At last Naravahanadatta reached the city house of Vinadattaka. - [Previous: c9.53](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c9.53) - [Next: c9.55](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c9.55) - [Up: c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c9.54](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.chandra-1973.c9.54) · Pramāṇa
