Summary
The valiant beggar is the ornament of the profession the aristocrat of the race. [...] Under the shade of coco-nut palms by the side of the village tank amid the rippling laughter of girls carrying home pails of water at the hip leaning and glancing gently to the side the game is a glorious feast for the youth. [...] It marks the entrance to the temple and naturally the entrance to the gods is on all the four directions though the East is of primary importance. [...] In the conical shape of the Lingam he is the symbol of creation and in the magnificent figure of a man with hands and eyes he is a statue of the stalwart of the race. [...] But the young and the old the rich and the poor the Brahmana and the Pariah sink the marks of difference and the pain of labour in the cheer of common co-operative effort in the worship of God.
