ABSTRACT

This chapter explains the message worthily into the picture of the men who were mandated, linking up these men with the will and work of the messenger, so that the fact and truth of their interdependence may stand out. The man, who, in the days when in India books were not, made a public utterance, had to make it impressive in a special way. Much depended on its being impressive as utterance. And this it only became in India when he "mantra'ed" it, turned it into a "rune", delivered it as an intoned or semi-chanted utterance. But analogously, in the Utterance as a whole, with its probably original opening left in place, the chief idea is the Way, the Way belonging to, leading to Artha. Way was, even more than Wheel, the very symbol of Sakya, as have been to Christians the Cross, the Lamb.
