Easy
and comfortable,
Yawning and stretching.
In a state of omniscience,
Contented with his own lot.
According
to legend , Pantha the Elder was the prince of a small
Indian kingdom called Kintota. When he became a monk,
he liked to meditate in the half-lotus style. Upon waking
up, he would raise his hands and let out a deep breath,
hence the name Raised Hand. He was the elder brother of
the Doorman Lohan. The two brother were both born while
the mother was travelling, and were given a Sanskrit name
which means "born on the road."
