SUNDARAR |
|
When Sundarar
came of age, his parents fixed up his marriage with a young girl of the neighbouring

shouted: "Stop! The boy is -my slave; I won't let him marry!"
Sundarar became annoyed and rebuked the brahmin saying:
"Are you mad? It cannot be so because there is no system of slavery among
brahmins.""I shall prove it. Here is the
document executed by your grandfather pledging him and his descendants as my eternal
slaves!" retorted the old man flourishing a document before him. |
