EPILOGUE

Once a wit said that the Ramayana can be abridged into three words construction, destruction and restoration i.e., construction of bridge across the sea by Rama for conveying the vanarasena to Lanka; destruction of Ravana for abduction; and restoration of Sita to Ayodhya. All the essentials are brought out. A good job indeed! Merits a bow too!

Similarly, the story of Buddha can be condensed into three phrases renunciation for alleviation, illumination for propagation' and foundation of sangha for emancipation. The whole is represented and this was presented by my pen in twin quadruplets long back. It's origin is odd. Spare me a minute, please.
