Dramatis personae

PRAJAPATI (THE CREATOR)

THE EYE

THE EAR

THE ORGAN OF SPEECH

THE MIND

THE LIFE-ENERGY

THE BODY

(A terrible dispute arose among the Eye, the Ear, the Organ of Speech, the Mind and the Life-Energy. Each one was sure that he was by far the greatest. They quarrelled and quarrelled, but they could not come to any satisfactory conclusion; so they decided to go to Prajapati and settle the problem once and for all.)
