“after the first round of prayers pandit Suraj Mani felt that he had been constrained to neglect so angust a persality as a landlord Thakur Singh when the later, had come, into the temple; so he caressed his white beard into the necessary dignity and essued out, his staff into his right hand; rosary into his left. The Sun was breething fire across the world; as it moved angrily over the planesinto the hills wich divid Haryana from Rajasthan. Pandit Suraj Mani looked up at Surya for a moment and, then with-drawing his gaze quickly, preyed for mercy.
But as the flaming heat scotched his face, he knew that this God had no mercy that his anger was more intense them ever; and that the endless temper of the sun was about to eat up the world, which was full of bad deeds. Surely it had beensaid in the puranic holy texts that in the kali yog, the Sun would get more hot and burn the universe into ashes because the Karma of sins must get its first reward. And the gossip that panditji had heard of the explozions of the suns energy, which had poisoned the water of the ocan, confirmed him in his prognosticaitons. Why, the breaking of Dharam, by Lambardar Dhooli Singh and his followers was only one sign of the spredig evil of this dark age; the sparks of heat burnt all over the priests face and covered him by a scowl of hatrid against sinfull man-kind. Landlord Thankur Singh and his son, Sanju, were seated below the papal tree, almost as if by the instinctive knowledge that the god were on there side, they were waiting for the minister of devine wishes Pandit Suraj Mani.
