32. Hearing this, the good sons of Indu exclaimed all in one voice saying:—Ah! well said; and then they honoured him with their mild speeches. 33. They said: How—O brother, can it be possible for us to attain to the state of Brahmá, who is seated on his seat of lotuses, and is adored by all in this world? 34. The eldest brother then replied to his younger brothers saying:—O you my worthy brothers, do you do as I tell you, and you will be successful in that. 35. Do you but sit in your posture of _padmásana_, and think yourselves as the bright Brahmá and full of his effulgence; and possessing the powers of creation and annihilation in yourselves. (Padmásana is a certain posture with crossed legs for conducting the yoga). 36. Being thus bid by the eldest brother, the younger brothers responded to him by saying “_Amen_”; and sat in their meditation together with the eldest brother, with gladness of their hearts. 37. They remained in their meditative mood, like the still pictures in a painting; and their minds were concentrated in the inmost Brahmá, whom they adored and thought upon, saying:— 38. Here I sit on the pericarp of a full blown lotus, and find myself as Brahmá—the great god, the creator and sustainer of the universe. 39. I find in me the whole ritual of sacrificial rites, the Vedas with their branches and supplements and the Rishis; I view in me the Sarasvatí and Gáyatrí mantras of the Veda, and all the gods and men situated in me. 40. I see in me the spheres of the regents, of the world, and the circles of the Siddhas revolving about me; with the spacious heaven bespangled with the stars. 41. I see this terraqueous orb ornamented with all its oceans and continents, its mountains and islands, hanging as an ear-ring in the mundane system. 42. I have the hollow of the infernal world, with its demons, and Titans, and serpents and dragons within myself; and I have the cavity of the sky in myself, containing the habitations and damsels of the immortals. 43. There is the strong armed Indra, the tormentor of the lords of peoples; the sole lord of the three worlds, and the receiver of the sacrifices of men. 44. I see all the sides of heaven spread over by the bright net of the firmament; and the twelve suns of the twelve months dispensing their ceaseless beams amidst it. 45. I see the righteous regents of the sky and the rulers of men, protecting their respective regions and peoples with the same care, as the cowherds take for protection of their cattle. 46. I find every day among all sorts of beings, some rising and falling, and others diving and floating, like the incessant waves of the sea. (Everything is changing in the changeful world). 47. It is I (the Ego) that create, preserve and destroy the worlds, I remain in myself and pervade over all existence, as the lord of all.
