... A Captive of Her Love 20.6.1958 Today I have a meat holiday. Tripura's husband has his birthday and he did not want any meat. So I gave more time to the "garden". It is so funny - a garden in flower-pots. Everything grows so quickly - you cannot imagine - but there are also more different pests to be fought than in Europe. I do my work and practise being ...
... then? Damn fine? That would be Shakespeare. You seem to have told Doraiswamy that nobody has told you anything about Tripura. How is that? In yesterday's report there was her condition stated!

Trudging along a perilous route from the farthest end of Chittagong and crossing the border at Tripura, he arrived one day at the Ashram.

"One day, Suvrata told us that there would be no class the next day, as she was going to Madras. So, Tripura and I spent the next day doing our embroidery work.

It is implied that the Tripura myth, first recorded in the Brāhmaṇas, enshrines a distant recollection of three-walled... originally the gods of the enemy. He points out that the Tripura belongs to the Asuras, while the gods are initially at a disadvantage because they have no forts of their own. This situation, Parpola says, reflects that of the invading Aryans who, "as could be expected of recently arrived invaders of a country, had no forts themselves." The Tripura myth does not prove much. 219 For one thing, there... in Afghanistan or elsewhere. If we are to be convinced that the Aryans encountered anything of the nature of a tripura as they advanced towards India, we may reasonably demand some indication of it in the Rigveda itself. But apart from the fact that the expression tripura occurs nowhere in this scripture, is it not curious that while the Rigveda describes forts variously with terms like 'broad' ...

The Congress nearly split again at Tripura in 1939, and split spectacularly during 1969. The leaders who figured in the 1907 split were not all of a piece. Between Mehta at one extreme end and Sri Aurobindo at the other, there were so many ...
