Simple Flat drum, a percussion instrument, <br />made of animal skin is better than a Lute <br />which, if it lacks in producing melodious note; <br /> <br />A chaste woman is better than men <br />who are not worth of their prowess; <br /> <br />It is better to stay hungry than eating <br />an improperly cooked and rotten food; <br /> <br />It is better to immolate in fire <br />than to leave and live separately <br />from the people who like and love us!<br /><br />Dr.V.K.
