had happened. "Could it be other than a hideous dream? Or the phantasmagoria of a
disordered brain? Or the sudden mate rialisation of the sins of some past birth called up

later, they fell on Kaikeyi and he trembled like a stag at the sight of a tiger. He sat up
on the floor and moaned, swaying helplessly this side and that like a cobra held by the
spell of a potent charm. Again he swooned.
