15. Then with that vacuous nature of mine, I became one with the universal vacuum; and melted away as a drop of water with the common water, and mixed as an odour in the universal receptacle of empty air. 16. Being assimilated to the great vacuum, which is omnipresent and pervades over the infinite space; I became like the endless void, the reservoir and support of all, although I was formless and supportless myself. 17. In my formless (of endless space), I began to look into myriads of worlds and mundane eggs, that lay countless in my infinite and unconscious bosom. 18. These worlds were apart from, and unseen by and unknown to one another; and appeared with all their motions and manners, as mere spaces to each other (_i.e._ they are at such great distance that they could not be seen all at once). 19. As visions in a dream appearing thickly to a dreaming man, and as nothing to the sleeping person; so the empty space abounds with worlds to their observers, and as quite vacant to the unobservant spiritualist. 20. Here many things are born, to grow and decay and die away at last; and what is present is reckoned with the past, and what was in the womb of futurity, comes to existence in numbers. 21. Many magic scenes and many aerial castles and buildings, together with many a kingdom and palace, are built in this empty air, by the imaginations of men. 22. Here there were to be seen many edifices with several apartments counting from unit to the digit (and these are the various systems of philosophy, with one and many more number, of their respective categories). 23. There were some structures, constructed with ten or sixteen apartments; and others which had dozens and three dozens of doors, attached to them. (The predicaments of the Nyáya and Jaina systems of philosophy. But Buddhism or Jain Atheism is called _Nirávarana_, having no category but vacuity). 24. The whole ethereal space is full of the five primary elements, which compose elementary bodies of single or double and triple natures. 25. Some of these bodies are composed of quadruple, quintuple and hextuple elements, and others of seven different elementary principles called seven fold great elements—_Sapta-mahá-bhutas_. (They are the five subtile elements of earth, water, fire, air and vacuum, and the two principles of time and space, all which subsist in vacuity). 26. So there are many super-natural natures, which are beyond the power of your conception (as the Gods, demons and other etherial beings), and so there are spaces of everlasting darkness, without the light of the sun and moon. 27. Some parts of the void were devoid of creation, and others were occupied by Brahmá the creator—their master, some parts were under the dominion of the patriarchs or lords of creatures, and under influence of various customs.
