When
her husband indulges in war, the lady used to adopt the custom of non-wearing
flowers on her hair.
 |
| Chariot |
The hero
returns back after his victory in war and put some flowers on his wife’s combed
hair. The friend maid of the heroine lady praises his benevolent deed.
Some
good behaviors adopted during the period are depicted during the narration.
The warriors
return back hosting their victorious spears.
The hero
king will return mounting on a chariot.
Four
horses will pull the chariot.
The driver
will use only lash to drive the horse.
He didn’t
use pin-end-stick to drive the horse as it disturbs the horse’s galloping.
The chariot
and warriors cross villages where young-goats and children play together.
The friend-maid
calls the hero “You, my, father” that is the man of father-like.
