On the Verse and Structure of the Poem [6]

Don’t you consider it rather necessary that some interpretative hint ought to be given of the term “Horse” in this section? Otherwise the section title [“The Yoga of the Lord of the Horse”] may mystify somewhat.

No. The name is Aswapati, Lord of the Horse, and it will be explained elsewhere. I don’t want to be allegorical, only mystic and allusive.
