4	118	The Older Tarl and I may have drunk too much of that fermented brew concocted with fiendish skill from the yellow grain, Sa-Tarna, and called Pagar-Sa-Tarna, Pleasure of the Life-Daughter, but almost always "paga" for short.	10
3	109	Economically, the base of the Gorean life was the free peasant, which was perhaps the lowest but undoubtedly the most fundamental caste, and the staple crop was a yellow grain called Sa-Tarna, or Life-Daughter.	10
5	49	The next would be the Planting Feast of Sa-Tarna, the Life-Daughter, celebrated early in the growing season to insure a good harvest.	10
5	154	But an hour before midnight, on the day I knew was the Planting Feast of Sa-Tarna, I climbed again to the saddle of my tarn, drew back on the one-strap, and rose above the lush trees of the swamp forest.	10
6	29	One of them must be the Home Stone of Ar, but which? How could I tell it from the others, the Home Stones of those cities which had fallen to Ar? Yes! It would be the one that would be red with Ka-la-na, that would be sprinkled with the seeds of grain! I felt the stones in frenzy, but several were d...	10

8	19	Now she, like all other members of the household of Marlenus, slave or free, would be subjected to the vengeance of the outraged citizens, citizens who had marched in the processions of the Ubar in the days of his glory, carrying flasks of Ka-la-na wine and sheaves of Sa-Tarna grain, singing his pra...	10

2	10	Far to my left I saw a splendid field of Sa-Tarna, bending beautifully in the wind, that tall yellow grain that forms a staple in the Gorean diet.	10
9	37	I decided, if worse came to worst, that I could always go to a simple Paga Tavern where, if those of Tharna resembled those of Ko-ro-ba and Ar, one might, curled in a rug behind the low tables, unobtrusively spend the night for the price of a pot of paga, a strong, fermented drink brewed from the ye...	10
9	39	Paga is a corruption of Pagar-Sa-Tarna, which means Pleasure of the Life-Daughter.	10
14	112	Could it remember the Vosk, like a silver ribbon beneath its wings; could it recall fighting the blasts and upwinds of the rugged Voltai Range; could it recall Thentis, famed for its tarn flocks, Ko-ro-ba's gleaming towers, or the lights of Ar as they had blazed that night of the Planting Feast of S...	10

7	27	"Who are you?" asked the girl, her accent suggesting the Sa-Tarna fields above Ar and toward the Tamber Gulf.	10
31	182	I supposed there might be tidal waves in distant Thassa, that crags in the Sardar and the Voltai and Thentis Ranges might be collapsing, that mountains might be falling and new ones rising, that the Sa-Tarna fields might be broken apart, that towers of cities might be falling, that the ring of black...	10

2	58	I passed fields that were burning, and burning huts of peasants, the smoking shells of Sa-Tarna granaries, the shattered, slatted coops for vulos, the broken walls of keeps for the small, long-haired domestic verr, less belligerent and sizable than the wild verr of the Voltai Ranges.	10
6	14	I was astonished, for this girl was dressed not as a Gorean, not as a girl of any of the cities of the Counter-Earth, not as a peasant of the Sa-Tarna fields or the vineyards where the Ta grapes are raised, not even as a girl of the fierce Wagon Peoples.	10

4	258	The bondmaids did not much care for their gruel, unsweetened, mudlike Sa-Tarna meal, with raw fish.	10
4	322	Choking, the proud Aelgifu swallowed the thick gruel, that of dampened Sa-Tarna meal and raw fish, the gruel of bondmaids.	10

11	525	"Tarna!" we heard.	4
11	526	"Tarna!" Hassan went to the edge of the wall looking down into the now-blazing stable yard.	4
11	576	"Tarna!" we heard.	4
11	577	"Tarna!" They reined in, almost below the edge of the roof.	4
11	579	"Tarna!" we heard.	4
11	589	"Yes, Tarna," said lieutenants, and they wheeled their mounts, going to their men.	4
11	625	I saw Tarna, the leader of the raiders, standing in her stirrups, scimitar high, urging her men forward, then joining in the pursuit.	4
11	702	"Discard your weapons," said Tarna.	4
11	709	"Tarna?" he asked.	4
11	714	"Yes, Tarna," said the man.	4
12	1	What Occurred in Tarna's Kasbah; Hassan and I Decide to Take Our Leave From that Place I rolled about, on my back, splashing in the water.	4
12	7	I was appreciative of this hospitality in the male seraglio of the kasbah of Tarna, bandit chieftain of the Tahari.	4
12	16	"Is your mistress, Tarna, pretty?" I asked the tall dark-haired girl.	4
12	20	"Hurry!" Four days ago, at dawn, Tarna, at the head of her men, left the Oasis of the Battle of Red Rock in flames.	4
12	28	As Tarna had left Red Rock, not looking back, straight in the saddle, burnoose swelling in the morning wind over the sand, I had marched beside her, stripped, wrists manacled behind my back, chained by the neck to her stirrup.	4
12	33	The location of the kasbah of Tarna, bandit chieftain of the Tahari, her lair, was secret.	4
12	37	I at Tarna's own, by her boot.	4
12	49	Suddenly Tarna kicked her kaiila in the flanks and bolted from the column.	4
12	80	Soon Tarna, with her men, and loot and slaves, entered the great gate of her fortress.	4
12	85	I had not, because of the purple sand veil worn by Tarna, which she had looped loosely about her face, well looked upon her.	4
12	107	There were several of Tarna's males sitting about, in silken tunics, some with jewelry, curious about Hassan and myself.	4
12	131	What man would want his collar on anything less precious? "Yet, Tarna," I suggested, "does not seem to be obtuse".	4
12	137	"I have not seen Tarna stripped and tied at the slave ring," I said.	4
12	181	"It is thus that Tarna marks her female seraglio slaves!" said the girl.	4
12	270	* * * * "I am Tarna," said the woman.	4
12	395	"Never! I am Tarna.	4
12	425	Tarna, I gathered, had waited long to be a woman.	4
12	456	"And if one keeps the she-sleen under perfect discipline?" asked Tarna.	4
12	530	Head-down, furious, Tarna fought to expel the wadding.	4
12	536	They saw Tarna at the slave ring.	4
12	541	Tarna was looking at me, wildly.	4
12	549	I looked back to Tarna.	4
12	555	Tarna shrank back.	4
12	580	I made my way, swiftly, through the palace, recalling the way from my being conducted earlier to the boudoir of this kasbah's chieftainess, the much-feared Tarna.	4
12	584	At the outer door of the seraglio I demanded entrance, to fetch the slave, Hassan, to the quarters of Tarna.	4
12	625	I gathered there was little lost affection for the fellow in the ruby necklace in the seraglio of Tarna.	4
12	665	Seeing this, the mark of a free man's satisfaction with her, I had little doubt that Tarna would dismiss her from the seraglio, sending her in chains to the lower levels, where, with low-order slave girls, she might be used to serve the lusts of her raiders.	4
13	22	Scarcely had Hassan and I, clad in the garments of guards, astride kaiila taken from the stables of Tarna's kasbah, emerged from the fortress's gate than, on the path to Red Rock, clouds of riders had swept before us.	4
13	32	On foot, among our captors, tethered by the neck to saddle rings, bound, we trudged to the larger of the pair of kasbahs, that other than Tarna's.	4
14	31	From where we were chained, I had been able to see, some two pasangs to the east, Tarna's kasbah.	4
14	163	I could see Tarna's kasbah, some two pasangs away.	4
23	237	"For Tarna," he said.	4
24	7	There was hard fighting, however, in the vicinity of Ibn Saran's own men, those of the Salt Ubar and his allies, those who had fought with Tarna.	4
24	9	I did not see Tarna in the battle.	4
25	1	The Second Kasbah Falls; What Was Done to Tarna "Where is Ibn Saran!" demanded Haroun, in the flowing white of the high Pasha of the Kavars.	4
25	23	"These seem reasonable assumptions," said Haroun, "but how is it possible they can all be true and yet Ibn Saran neither fallen nor in chains?" "There is another kasbah nearby, that of his confederate, Tarna," I said.	4
25	29	This tunnel provided a communication, under the desert, with the neighboring but small kasbah of Tarna, the desert chieftainess.	4
25	30	"Ibn Saran," said a man, "is doubtless in the kasbah of Tarna".	4
25	33	He will then flee from the kasbah of Tarna.	4
25	39	"Because," said Haroun, "the kasbah of Tarna is invested".	4
25	44	"By whom, Pasha," asked Suleiman, "if not by Kavars and not by Aretai, and not by these others, is the kasbah of Tarna invested?" "By a thousand lances, a thousand riders of the kaiila," said Haroun.	4
25	58	* * * * It was on the height of the highest tower of the kasbah of Tarna that Hassan, I close behind him, cornered Ibn Saran.	4
25	82	He died on the tower of Tarna's kasbah".	4
25	107	Startled was I to discover in the courtyard, mounted in the high saddle of the kaiila, the leader of Hassan's mystery lancers, who had invested the kasbah of Tarna.	4
25	156	"Find me Tarna," said Suleiman Pasha.	4
25	166	* * * * Tarna, in her quarters, spun to face me.	4
25	189	Then again she was Tarna.	4
25	210	"I am not unfamiliar with the quarters of Tarna," I said.	4
25	218	"Sleen! I am Tarna!" She lifted the scimitar.	4
25	279	"This is Tarna," I said.	4
25	290	"Doubtless," said Hassan, "Haroun, high Pasha of the Kavars, and Suleiman, high Pasha of the Aretai, will pay a high reward to the man who brings Tarna before them".	4
25	300	Tarna, shuddering, wept, her head to the floor, my rope on her neck.	4
25	309	"What?" cried Tarna.	4
25	317	I jerked on the rope, as though to draw Tarna to her feet, in order to lead her to the presence of the Pashas.	4
25	320	"What?" wept Tarna.	4
25	324	"Yes," said Tarna, "for the pleasures of my men".	4
25	326	"I see!" cried Tarna.	4
25	328	"But I am not branded!" wept Tarna.	4
25	343	"Please!" wept Tarna.	4
25	351	"I can walk with my head down, as a slave," said Tarna.	4
25	365	"Are slave girls truly proud?" asked Tarna.	4
25	370	Tarna turned white.	4
25	372	"Yes," said Tarna, sullenly.	4
25	374	"How strong such men must be," whispered Tarna.	4
25	377	"But why, why," wept Tarna, "should they be proud?" Hassan shrugged.	4
25	382	"I can walk proudly," said Tarna.	4
25	388	Tarna suddenly shuddered, inadvertently, with pleasure.	4
25	392	"Yes, yes!" suddenly whispered Tarna.	4
25	402	"How do you meet their eyes?" Tarna gazed upon him.	4
25	405	I dragged Tarna by the rope to her vast couch, and flung her to the yellow cushions.	4
25	413	Tarna cried out with misery.	4
25	414	In a short time, we led Tarna through the halls of the kasbah.	4
25	441	Tarna, of course, would be unmarked.	4
25	456	"Please," said Tarna.	4
25	476	I have little doubt that our success in this matter was largely to be attributed to what Tarna, stripped and roped back by the neck, had learned on her own couch.	4
25	481	And Tarna had gazed upon him.	4
25	487	She was not then the Tarna of old.	4
25	491	Tarna looked sick.	4
25	508	"How horrid men are," moaned Tarna.	4
25	510	Tarna threw back her head, and moaned.	4
25	514	Tarna shrank back.	4
25	545	Tarna regarded us in misery, while we discussed where she might be marked.	4
25	559	Tarna looked upon it with horror.	4
25	569	"On the level above?" "They are searching for Tarna," he laughed.	4
25	574	"They are searching for Tarna," I said.	4
25	588	Tarna was marked.	4
25	595	I, Hassan, leading, carried Tarna to an empty cell on the fourth level.	4
25	601	I put Tarna, still sobbing, on the dank straw at the back wall of the cell.	4
25	615	The once-proud Tarna, now no more than a slave, was chained by the neck to a wall on the lower levels of what had once been her own kasbah.	4
25	628	"If it is discovered that you were Tarna," said Hassan, "it will not go easy with you".	4
25	630	Tarna had been spoken of in the past tense.	4
25	631	No longer was she Tarna.	4
25	632	Tarna was gone.	4
25	633	Tarna no longer existed.	4
25	635	"If it is discovered that you were Tarna," said Hassan, sternly, "it will not go easy with you.	4
25	641	And in that foul cell, on the stinking straw, in the feeble light of the lamp outside, the once-proud Tarna, now only a nameless slave girl, chained by masters, struggled to please us.	4
25	652	"I search for Tarna," he said.	4
25	653	"Tarna is not here," I said.	4
25	670	"I belonged to Tarna.	4
25	671	Now I hear from soldiers that Tarna has fallen.	4
25	683	"I search for Tarna," he said.	4
25	696	Stay with me!" "I must search for Tarna," said the man.	4
25	713	Laughing he left the cell, to continue his search for Tarna.	4
26	15	The line of march extended from this kasbah, across the desert, to the kasbah which had been once the holding of Tarna, once a beautiful and proud desert chieftainess.	4
26	95	In the second group from the front I passed two women I had earlier met, Lana, the tall girl, who had been the seraglio mistress in the kasbah of Tarna, and the other girl, who had served with her, in charge of the oils of the bath.	4
26	97	Their utility in the seraglio terminated by myself and Hassan, Tarna had, in fury, sent them to the lowest levels of her kasbah, to serve there as wench sport for her soldiers.	4
26	106	"That one," he had said, sitting in court, in the audience chamber of what had been the kasbah of Ibn Saran, indicating the silken fellow who had worn the ruby necklace, who had tried to betray us to the guards of Tarna, "that one sell in Tor—sell him to a woman".	4
26	159	Behind me, kneeling in the sand, in wrist coffle, fastened to others, on each side of her, I left a nameless slave beauty, who once had been Tarna.	4
26	261	First, she had called out his name at Red Rock, among the flames, during the raid of Tarna's men; secondly, she had fled from his riders, to return to Red Rock, to seek him out, when she had been captured; third, she had, that very evening, upon discovering who might be her master, cried out his nam...	4
26	811	Outside, I untied her, and then retied her, belly up, head down, over the saddle of a kaiila, and took her to the nearby kasbah, which had once been that of Tarna.	4
26	815	It was the same iron with which he had, the night before, marked the proud Tarna.	4
26	1231	I saw the two kasbahs, which had been those of Abdul, Ibn Saran, the Salt Ubar, Guard of the Dunes, and Tarna, once a proud desert chieftainess.	4
26	1250	Several times, she, with Zaya, another slave, had waited upon me, nude, in collars, and bangles, serving the black wine and sugars, in what had been the kasbah of Tarna, while I had enjoyed the pleasures of one or more slaves, selected, as I wished, from the slave stock of the Kasbah, but usually Ta...	4
26	1269	I looked back at the kasbahs which had been those of Abdul, Ibn Saran, the Salt Ubar, Guard of the Dunes, and Tarna, once a proud desert chieftainess.	4
