Mangala Chapter Fourteen: The New Gardener

Ajahn Amaro

January 31, 2010

Lovelorn, forlorn, Krishna dragged himself about in a melancholy daze for weeks, after Khina left for the northeast with her sister and new brother-in-law. He had little interest in his studies – not even in the wrestling or sword-play he had formerly loved so much – he even lost the taste for food and drink. His mother drove herself to near distraction, trying to organize and have more delicious and rare treats prepared, arranging outings or buying Krishna new clothes of fine and colourful cloth. She had the music master find him the highest quality of inlaid vina, had Ajjuna take him to the military manœuvres; everything left him still depressed and dead to the joys of the world. Not even any of the doctors she had had look at him had been able to help one iota.
