This pencil-sketch of Arjava, with the caption below it,
is by Amal Kiran drawn on a piece of paper. It is kept by him as a frontispiece
in his copy of Poems by Arjava (J A
Chadwick) published in 1941. The copy contains, in Amal’s hand, Sri Aurobindo’s
comments on a fairly large number of poems. These poems were mostly written during
the 1930s. It is significant to note that Arjava the logician-philosopher started
writing poetry after joining the Ashram.
