Answer 2

Answer:

In the "Watchman of the Lake", Mara was considered to be the lunatic. The river Veda was the plaything of the c) Goddess.

Explanation:

• The headman labels Mara as a lunatic for no other reason than the fact that he was interfering with roadwork.
• In spite of Mara's best efforts to convince the headman of the village that the Goddess appeared to him in his dream, the headman gives the order to have him apprehended by his workmen and locked away in the cellar.
• The chief of the village is intent on completing the roadwork because, in his role as King, reaching his destination is the most important thing for him.
• When Mara discusses her dream, he does not understand what she is trying to convey by her comments in any way.
• When Goddess says that the river Veda is her plaything she is referring to the ability of nature to create as well as to destroy.
