The process involved in the manufacture of
metal and wooden vessels finds no mention in the Epic,
but a rather long-drawn-out simile gives some idea of
the stages through which an earthen pot had to pass
before it came out in its final shape and form (XI.3.8-11).
At the end of the Mbh war Dh峁泃arastra lamenting the death
of his sons, relatives and freinds, is consoled by Vidura
who points out that in this world not every living being
reaches a ripe old age. Some die at birth, others within
a few days or months of their birth, some in childhood,
others in full youth and the rest in their middle and old
age. The point is made clear on the anology of earthen
pots in a potter's workhouse, where some pots break on
the wheel itself, some while being shaped, others after
the shaping is completed. Some are samshed while they
are kept covered on the wheel, others while being taken
down from the wheel. Some crack when they are wet, some
when dry, some while they are being baked, some when
taken out of the oven and others after being baked in
conditions of inadequate heat. Out of the remaining some
split while being polished. Thus only a few pots survived
the long process from being shaped on the wheel to being
baked in an oven, and finally polished.
Another rather interesting event which deserves
