The descent of the sun: A cycle of birth, The Descent of the Sun., sentence 35

But for the reader not acquainted with Sanskrit it may be worth while to point out that there runs throughout it a veiled allegory which he would not be apt to detect, to the teaching of the Sánkhya Philosophy of Kapila, (who is older than Thales;) according to which it is the duty of PURUSHA, the archetype of the spirit of man, the Primæval Male, to hunt for and pursue PRAKRITI, the feminine personification of material Nature, the Eternal Feminine, till he finds her: when instantly she disappears 'like an actress[3].'

Who acts: it, veiled allegory, teaching, Sanskrit, Nature · What happens: be, point out, run, veil, not be, detect · To what, where: veiled allegory, reader, teaching, PRAKRITI, Nature, actress
