THE ORDEAL OE THIRST 



Here, by the bank of the river and beneath two great jars of water, sits an ascetic 

 who seeks enlightenment by the practice of meditation and thirst. With water in abundance 

 within easy reach, he limits himself to the minimum amount necessary to sustain life. Note 

 the T-shaped arm-rest.
