f 4 4 In the autumn season all the reser-
{ voirs of water are full of lotus flowers.
There are also flowers that resemble the lotus
but are of a different class. Among them is a
flower called kumud. When the sun rises, all
; the flowers but the kumud blossom beautiful-
ly. Similarly, lotus-like men take pleasure in
the advent of a responsible king, but men who
are like the kumud do not like the existence of
a king.
