3. His sight was darkened upon the insensibility of death, and his hopes were buried in the pit of despair; and the sensations of his external organs, were hid within the cavity of his heart. 4. His figure was as senseless as a picture in painting, and all his limbs were as motionless, as those of a statue carved upon a block of marble. 5. What need is there of a lengthy description, when it may be said in short; that his life quitted his body, as a bird flies off afar from a falling tree. 6. The two ladies with their divine eye-sight, beheld his animal spirit, flying upwards in the sky in its aerial form; and his consciousness disappearing, like the odour of a flower wafted by the wind. 7. His living soul being joined with its spiritual body, began to fly higher and higher in the air; as it was led by its inward desire or expectation of ascending to heaven. 8. The two ladies kept going after that conscious soul, like a couple of female bees, pursuing a particle of perfume borne afar in the air on the wings of the wind. 9. Then in a moment after the fainting fit of death was over; the conscious soul was roused from its insensibility, like some fragrance expanding itself with the breeze. 10. It saw the porters of death, carrying away the souls of the dead, that have resumed their grosser forms, by means of the mess offerings of their kinsmen to their manes. 11. After a long year’s journey on the way, it reached at the distant abode of _Yama_, with the hope of reaping the reward of its acts; but found the gate fast beset by beasts of prey. (Like the Cerberus at the hellgate of Pluto). 12. Yama, on beholding the departed spirit of every body brought before him, ordered to find out its foul acts all along its life time. 13. On finding the prince’s spirit spotless, and ever inclined to virtuous acts and to have been nourished by the grace of the goddess of wisdom:— 14. He ordered it to be released, and re-entered into its former dead body, which lay buried under the flowers in the tomb. 15. It was then let to fly in the etherial path, with the swiftness of a stone flung from a sling; and was followed by the living Lílá and the goddess in the air. 16. The living soul of the king thus sailing through the sky, did not observe the forms of the two ladies that followed it, though they saw it all along its course. (Because heavenly forms are invisible to mortal eyes and souls). 17. They traversed through many worlds, and soon passed the bounds of the extra-mundane systems; till they arrived at the solar world, whence they descended on this orb of the earth. 18. The two self-willed forms (of Lílá and the goddess), in company with the living soul of the king; arrived at the royal city of Padma, and entered the apartment of Lílá. 19. They entered in a trice and of their own free will, into the inside of the palace; as the air passes in flowers, and the sunbeams penetrate in the water, and the odors mix with the air.
