Blurb:

Vimala’s story continues, with details about her first Bleeding and the deflowering that was
supposed to follow. She reflects on a story she once read about a flying sage named Markandeya who flew through Vishnu’s body and fell out of his yawning mouth into the cosmic ocean’s great immensity.
