A farmer sits intently at a gambling table, his grain harvest nearby. Pondering a wager which could make him rich or risk his family's wealth, he knows he is responsible for his karmas, good and bad. Siva silently witnesses all actions and reactions.
The law of karma is neutral, like the grain in the man's pouch. One lady puts out grain for hungry crows. Seeing a beggar's pleading tears, a man hoards his grain, bringing tears to his own eyes as well. Another man, caught stealing grain, lands in jail.
