Now hear about another activity of his in making men detached. There was a Vidyādhara named Citraketu. The sage instructed him and made him detached from his house. He bestowed his instructions on Prahlāda and made him suffer much at the hands of Hiraṇyakaśipu. He is definitely a person who splits others� intellect [i.e., parabuddhi-prabhedaka]. [...]�.

This layer (the second layer) consists of the egg-born. [It is] triple, divided by quality (ṇa-岹첹). Consisting of three [circles], the third layer is formed by the moisture-born The fourth layer, called ‘womb-born,� is understood to comprise three [circles].
