It notes Brahmins’ supremacy, caste-based taxes, and the mythic creation by Brahma and Vishnu, with commentary on medieval Hindu law and social order.

Little Children Lead Them All and Worthy Lessons
A long reflective vignette opens in a milliner shop with a baby admired by a young couple, then follows scenes of children inspiring tenderness. The piece laments how harsh adults neglect child purity, urges parents to learn faith and humility from their offspring, and ends with moral maxims and a digressive survey of social manners and trivial anecdotes.
