Editorial note — Chapter II · Man and his Place in the Universe

Green is not a common colour. Blue appears to be rarely used. It is, however, the colour assigned to a (fabulous (?)) champaka flower, which is supposed to be the rarest of its kind (vide p. 29 n. supra). Orange (jingga) is also extremely rare, though it is occasionally used for certain decorative work (e.g. small wedding-pillows). ↑
