\nconflict which began when Roumania, as a
\nprice for having remained neutral in the First

\nSatyakama Jabala<\/b> (Satyakama Jabala), a sage of the Upanishadic period, "son of
\na servant-girl who knew not who was his
\nfather". "Jabala" was his matronymic, his
\nmother’s name being Jabala. Satyakama
\nattained to the divine knowledge by fol-
\nlowing the teachings of four gods who came
\nto him in non-human forms while he was
\ntending the cows of the Rishi Haridru-
\nmata Gautama, his guru. The guru had sent
\nhim to the forest with the strange directive
\nthat when the 400 lean cows became 1000, the pupil might return. The story is told in the Chandogya Vpanishad<\/i> (4th chapter).

\nfrom England reached Marseilles, he at-
\ntempted to escape. The gendarme guarding

\nbefore a magistrate, handed him over to his
\nBritish escort on the ship. Savarkar’s friends

\nviolation of French sovereignty, and the
\nquestion was taken to a Hague Tribunal, where his case was lost. In India, he was
\ntried by a Special Tribunal, charged with

\nfor life. After his release in 1937 he joined

\nSavitri<\/b><\/i> an epic (subtitled "A Legend and
\na Symbol") by Sri Aurobindo, his poetic
\nmagnum opus in about 24, 000 lines of blank
\nverse. Although the legend on which it is
\nbased is taken from the Mahabharata, <\/i> the
\npoem is charged with Vedic symbolism. A
\nWestern critic hailed it as "perhaps the most
\npowerful artistic work in the world for ex-
\npanding man’s mind towards the Absolute".
\nSavitri, <\/i> begun probably in 1915, took shape
\nover the next four decades. He was working
\non it in 1950, when he left his body. Parts of
\nthe poem were issued in journals and in
\nfascicles between 1946(?) and 1950. The first
\nbook edition was published in two volumes
\nin 1950-51, and in a single volume in 1954.

\nSemites originally a people supposed to be

\nthe Jews and Arabs of southwestern Asia but
\nin ancient times also by the Babylonians, Assyrians, Aramaeans, Canaanites, and
\nPhoenicians. These peoples are grouped
\nunder the term "Semite" because their
\nlanguages were found to be related, deriving
\npresumably from a common "Semitic"
\ntongue. The modern descendants of this
\nancient language, widely spoken in northern
\nAfrica and the Near East, include Arabic, Hebrew, and Amharic (the official language
\nof Ethiopia, spoken by some five million
