Just as the flock of swans returns to the Ga峁単膩 in the autumnal season and just as the brilliant lustre manifests itself in the medicinal herbs during the night, so also all the learning of the previous [i.e., 辫谤腻办迟补苍补] birth returned to K膩l墨. O sage, thus I have described one of the divine sports of 艢iv膩. I shall narrate another one of her divine sports. You listen to it lovingly鈥�.

Having experienced [these] enjoyments he moves upwards to whichever [cosmic level] the Guru has joined him [by 测辞箩补苍颈办腻]. Whether this is at the sakala or 苍颈峁补濒补 level [of 艢iva] depends on [the preference of] the candidate and Guru鈥�.
