Every century has altered the form of the vina. It is very artificial now. Still it has kept something of what it was first. When the vina was taken to the palaces, it was made more elaborate: as you see it. You may say: "Why make such a head which is like nothing?" There is a great philosophy in it. It has the trunk of the elephant, the jaw of the tiger, it has horns and wings, the neck of a fish, while the eyes, the nose and the moustache have something of man. This shows that all faces are God's, and God appears in all forms.
