73. In this state of _insouciance_, the duality of the world is lost in the nullity of vacuity; the knowledge of self personality is dwindled to spirituality, and all futurity presents itself clearly to the view of the clairvoyance of the enrapt yogi. (This forms the _púrnatá_ or perfectibility of yoga practice). 74. The perfect yogi remains with his mind, as clear as the vacuous sky, enveloping the phenomenals in its ample sphere; he sits silent and as still and cold as a stone; he views the world in himself, and remains quiet in rapturous amazement at the view. CHAPTER CXXVI. RESUSCITATION AND CONDUCT OF THE VIPASCHITAS. Argument:--Release of the Dead from the error of the world, their wanderings and fancies of themselves. Ráma said:--Now tell me sir, what the Vipaschitas did, being cast in the seas, islands and forests, in the different parts of the earth. 2. Vasishtha replied:--Hear now, Ráma, of the Vipaschitas, in all their wanderings amidst the forests of tála and tamála trees, upon the hills and in the islands of different sides. 3. One of the Vipaschitas, that was roving about the westerly ridge of a mountain in Kraunchadwípa, was crushed to death by the tusk of an elephant, as it tears a lotus in the lake. 4. Another of these was smashed in his contest with a Rákshasa, who bore his mangled body aloft in air, and then cast it amidst the marine fire, where it was burnt to ashes. 5. The third was taken up by a Vidyádhara, to the region of the celestials; where he was reduced to ashes by curse of the god Indra, who was offended at the prince’s want of respect towards him. 6. The fourth that went to the farthest edge of a mountain in the Kusadwípa, was caught by a shark on the sea shore, which tore his body to eight pieces. 7. In this manner did all these four lose their lives on all sides, and they all fell as sorrowfully as the regents of the four quarters, at the last dissolution of the world on the doomsday. 8. After they were reduced to the state of vacuity amidst the vast vacuum, their vacuous and self-conscious souls, were led by the reminiscence of their former states to behold the earth (to which they had been so much attached). 9. They saw the seven continents with their belts of the seven oceans, and also the cities and towns with which they were decorated every where. 10. They beheld the sky above, with the orbs of the sun and moon forming the pupils of its eyes; and also the clusters of stars, that were hanging as chains of pearls about its neck, and the flaky clouds that formed its folded vest. 11. They saw with their intellectual eye, the stupendous bodies that rose out of chaos at the revolutions of past kalpa cycles, and filled the amplitude of the sky and all sides of the horizon with the gigantic forms. (These were the big bodies of the many Unitarian Saivas that appeared at the beginning of repeated creations).
