10. Even the gods Indra, Upendra and Hara, have fallen short of following his steps in his ambitious pursuits, and the splendid inventions of his imagination. 11. With his triple form of the sátwika, rájasika and támasika qualities, he encompasses the world, and is enabled to accomplish all sorts of actions. (These are the qualities of goodness, moderation and excess, or the three states of deficiency, mediocrity and excess of moral acts, according to the text of Aristotelean Ethics. But I would prefer to call them the positive, comparative and superlative virtues, or rather the minimum, mean and maximum states of virtues). 12. He is born in the extensive vacuity (of the spirit of Brahma), with his triple body as that of a bird (viz; the flesh and bones and the feathers, and remains in vacuum as the air and the sound). 13. He has built a city in that unlimited space of the Universe, having fourteen provinces (_chaturdasa Bhuvana_) (the planetary spheres), in its triple divisions (tribhuvana) of the earth and regions above and below it. 14. It is beautified with forests and groves and pleasure-lawns and hills, and bounded by the seven lakes of pearly waters on all sides. (The city signifies the earth and the lakes the seven oceans in it). 15. It is lighted by two lamps of hot and cooling light (the sun and moon), which revolve above and below it in their diurnal and nocturnal courses, as those of righteous and nefarious people. (The original words, as the courses _divá_, and _nisácharas_ or the day and nightfarers). 16. The king has peopled this great city of his with many selfmoving bodies (animals), which move in their spheres quite ignorant of themselves (_i.e._ of their origin, their course and their fates). 17. Some of these are appointed in higher and some in lower spheres, and others move in their middle course; some destined to live a longer time, and others doomed to die in a day (as the ephemerids). 18. These bodies are covered with black skins and hairs (as thatched huts), and furnished with nine holes (as their doors or windows); which are continually receiving in and carrying out the air to keep them alive. 19. They are supplied with five lights of sensation and perceptions and supported by three posts of the two legs and the back bone, and a frame work of white bones for the beams and bamboo rafters. It is plastered over with flesh as its moistened clay (or mud wall), and defended by the two arms as latches on door way. 20. The Great king has placed his sentinel of the Yaksha of egoism as a guard of this house; and this guard is as ferocious as a Bhairava in dark (ignorance), and as timorous as a _Bhairava_ by the day (i.e. egoism brags in ignorance, but flies before the day-light of reason). 21. The masters of these locomotive bodies, play many pranks in them, as a bird plays its frolics in its own nest.
