Woman of Tribal India

By Mahendar Paul

According to Tvashtri, a Sanskrit text, the creation of a woman is described as:
He took the lightness of the leaf and the glance of a fawn, the gaiety of the suns rays and the tears of the mist, the inconsistency of the wind and the timidity of the hare, the vanity of the peacock and the softness of the down on the throat of a swallow. He added the harshness of the diamond and the sweet flavor of honey, the cruelty of the tiger, the warmth of fire, the chill of snow. He added the chatter of the jay and the cooing of the turtle dove. He melted all this and formed a woman, then he made a present of her to man.
