[...] He abounds in various trees. Being of variegated shape and features he is adorned by many peaks on him. Lions, tigers and other animals frequent it. Many happy persons live there for ever. He is the storehouse of snow (and yet) very fierce. He is the resort of wonderful things (i.e., 苍腻苍腻艣肠补谤测补-惫颈肠颈迟谤颈迟补). He is resorted to by the gods, sages and seers. He is a great favourite of 艢iva鈥�.

Realising, 鈥業t is just me, from Brahma down to the last clump of grass鈥�, one becomes free from uncertainty, pure, at peace and unconcerned about what has been attained or not. Realising that all this varied and wonderful (苍腻苍腻艣肠补谤测补) world is nothing [苍腻苍腻艣肠补谤测补mida峁� vi艣va峁� na ki帽ciditi ni艣cay墨], one becomes pure receptivity, free from inclinations, and as if nothing existed, one finds peace鈥�.
