Patañjali (Keilhorn, I. 11) vividly describes a well-digger, who, in excavating, is covered with dust particles, but the hardship suffered is more than compensated when he uses the water, because the resulting prosperity (abhyudaya) leads to welfare (yoga) of many type. But, here we do not get any details about the technological aspect of digging a well.
