A more remarkable reference to the Wheel of Karma is the following:--

_Father and mother forbade, and so I gave up my lover;_

_--Yet still, with the whirl of the Wheel, the thought of him comes

and goes._[10]

[Footnote 10:

Oya no iken dé

Akirameta no we

Mata mo rin-yé dé

Omoi-dasu.

The Buddhist word _Rin-yé,_ or _Rinten,_ has the meaning of "turning

the Wheel,"--another expression for passing from birth to birth. The

Wheel here is the great Circle of Illusion,--the whirl of Karma.]
