A riddle believed to date from Kalidasa’s time poses the following problem: Why did the milkmaid laugh when the pot of milk she was carrying on her head fell and broke into pieces? Over the years different people must have tried to unlock the riddle with a key of their choice. We do not know if they have been fully successful in their endeavours. In his novel in verse Anklet of Fire, poet Prabha Varma offers a solution to the problem which is satisfying and enigmatic at once. It is satisfying in the sense that the poet’s rhetorical question why should a milkmaid cry over spilt milk when her life itself had already been ravaged by men of power, depravity and debauchery lusting after beautiful women itself comes across as a plausible answer to any inquisitive mind. Other than nonchalance and indifference what can one expect from a woman who lives a modest life after having escaped preying men fillled with lust?  The poet’s solution is enigmatic because his answer to the riddle is not final as it appears to be driven towards embarking on a mission to explore the inscrutable mysteries of existence further. In both ways this quest for an answer brings hope and strength to anyone baffled by the mysteries of life. Written in a lucid and enchantingly beautiful style, this poignantly tragic tale of love, lust, greed and revenge, Anklet of Fire, entertains and enriches anybody interested in reading insightful fiction in verse.
