Now, with the advent of democracy, our lives are full of constant turmoil. The king reigned over a kingdom that was subject to rule by a single ruler. Democracy, on the other hand, has many leaders. It is difficult to achieve consensus with multiple leaders - more so about wealth and its distribution. So, what is theoretically thought to be a multi-leader system practically results in anarchy.

Vastu

Vastu refers to the story or the plot of a play and is also referred to as itivṛtta. The vastu or itivṛtta is of two kinds – ādhikārika and prāsaṅgika.

The ādhikārika-itivṛtta refers to the main plot of the play – it is the primary story that runs through the play and is its most important thread.

But then, what is the use of lamenting over that? There is another side to this topic. We see this kind of admixture only among the rarefied urban population. Those who are wealthy or in prestigious positions or in seats of power are into mixed relationships for many reasons. These are the urban nouveau riche. If we leave them aside and look at populations of tribesmen and categories of poor people, we see resistance to the idea of this admixture. Such people have maintained the differences in clans and categories that have come to them from time immemorial.

समस्या – अन्धः पठति पत्रिकाम् ।

सुबोधैवेयं समस्या ।

परिहारः –

अहं च सर्वकर्तास्मि मत्समो नास्ति भूतले ।

इति नित्यप्रवृत्त्या गर्वान्धः पठति पत्रिकाम् ॥ (अवधानभारती, 39)

इहान्धशब्दस्य गर्वान्ध इति परिणामनेन परिहृताभूत् समस्या । मदमत्तस्य पत्रिकापठनं न खल्वनुपपन्नम् । तथापि आद्यास्त्रयः पादाः वृथैव पूरिताः सन्ति । यदीहावधानी तस्य पत्रिकापठने कमपि हेतुं न्यवेशयिष्यत् तर्हि परिहारोऽयं रम्योऽभविष्यत् । प्रकारश्चात्र समासाश्रितः शब्दच्छलः ।
