40. The world is a hanging garden in the air, with all its orbs fixed as trees with their firm roots in it and yet rolling and revolving about, like the shaking leaves and tossing fruits of this arbour. 41. The sand like mustard seeds being crushed under stony oil mills, yield the fluid substance of oil; and the tender flower of lotus, grows out of the clefts of rocks. (So things of one nature produce another of a different kind). 42. The moving images that are carved out of stone or wood, are seen to be set in the company of goddesses; and to converse with them. (The gloss gives no explanation of this unintelligible passage). 43. The clouds of heaven are seen to shroud many things as their vests, and many trees are found to produce fruits of different kinds every year. 44. All terrestrial animals are seen to move upon the earth, in different and changing forms with different kinds of the members of their bodies and heads. 45. The lower worlds (regions) are filled with human beings, that are without the pale of the vedas and sástras; and live without any faith, religion, and lead their lives in the state of beasts. 46. Some places are peopled by heartless peoples, who are without the feelings of love and desire; and others who are not born of women, but appear to be strewn as stones on the ground. 47. There are some places, which are full of serpents that feed upon air only; and others where gems and stones are taken in an indifferent light; some again where the indigent are without avarice and pride. 48. There were some beings, who look on their individual souls, and not on those of others; and others who regard the universal soul, that resides alike in all. (_i.e._ In all the four kinds of living creatures). 49. As the hairs and nails and other members of a person, are parts of his same body, though they grow in different parts of it; so do all beings appertain to the One universal soul, which is to be looked upon in all. 50. The one infinite and boundless vacuum, seems as many skies about the different worlds which it encompasseth; and it is by the exertion of Divine energy, that these empty spaces are filled with worlds. 51. There are some who are entirely ignorant of the meaning of the word liberation (which is freedom from the knowledge of everything beside Brahma); and move about as wooden machines without any sense in them. 52. Some creatures have no knowledge of astronomical calculation, and are ignorant of the course of time; while there are others quite deaf and dumb, and conduct themselves by signs and motions of their bodies. 53. Some are devoid of the sense of sight of their eyes, and the light of the sun and moon, are all in vain to them. 54. Some have no life in them, and others have no sense of smelling the sweet odours; some are quite mute and cannot utter any sound, while others are deprived of the sense of their hearing.
