WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SCHOLAR KING
VASISHTHA said—
अस्मद्.आदेर् जनस्य_एतत् प्रत्यक्षम् न_अनुमानिकम् ।

.
***tt. *pratyakSa – perceptible (opp. to #parokSa {beyond/out.of-sight} q.v.) • direct, actual; keeping in view, discerning (with gen.) • witness of the senses (in *nyAya one of the 4 #pramANa-s • elementary, derived from the primitive elements, material +
.
asmat.Ade:_janasya the evidence is not the witness = zuddha by the clear realization of the bodha = na_adhibhautika not by the elemental/gross body.
.
*vlm.p.Vasishtha speaking:—*vlm.p.1. Râma, I have told you all this from my own personal perception and not by any guesswork. Through their purely intelligent bodies, yogis like ourselves have come to the clear sight of these things in nature which are otherwise unknowable to the material body or mind.
एतद् अस्मज् जगत्.स्वप्ने न_अन्येषु कथितम् मया ।

anyeSu_asti jagat-svapneSu_evam anyA_api ca sthiti: ||7|128|2||
.
etat_asmat_jagatsvapne – this in our world-dream - na_anyeSu kathitam mayA not in others has been described by me – anyeSu asti jagat-svapneSu in other world.dreams it.is evam anyA_api ca sthiti: - so but a different state
.
*vlm. The description of the universe I have given you is the fruit of direct experience, not inferential guesswork. Besides this there are other universes of which I have not told you.
जगत्.स्वप्नेषु च_अन्येषु संस्थान.कथनेन किम् ।

.
*sv.3 For of what use is investigation into the nature of the world and others, which are but of the nature of a dream; wise men do not waste their time talking about useless things.
*vlm.3. Now whether the world is viewed in the light of a dream or any other thing, it is of no matter to us; since it is the business of the learned, to speak of its situation and what relates thereto; (and not of its nature or essence).

*vlm.4. There are the two poles (merus) situated at the utmost extremities of the north and south of the world; and it is the business of the learned, to enquire into the endless kinds of beings lying between them.

*vlm.6. The two poles (as said before), standing at the farthest extremities of the globe, limit the earth with its seven continents and seas, and stretch no farther beyond them.

*vlm.7. Now hear, O Ráma, that the whole body of water on earth, is ten times as much, as the extent of the two continents (lit, valves), which are surrounded by it.

tat_brahmANDa-kavATam tu - that Cosmic.Egg-cap tho =
tRNam to grass

dhatte gives
vAri svabhAvena – water of its own accord =
nityam.ever/always kalpaka.normal/rule.ratna.jewel.vat.like
just as a grass.wishingshell opens
to a terribly gaping age.
#tRNa : –neut.stone gives water to the grass,
that being always its nature,
so the Cosmic half
*vlm.p.8 The two continents attract the encircling waters around them, just as a magnet attracts iron needles. The water upholds the continents just like the wish-fulfilling kalpa tree supports the fruit upon it.
सर्वेषाम् एव भावानाम् स्थित: कल्पक-रत्नवत् ।

*vlm.37. Passing over this, he found the infinite space of the vacuum of Brahmá; where in all was situated, and whence all bad proceeded, which is nothing and yet something, of which nothing can be known or predicated.
*sv. vipazcit was still in the subtle body, unenlightened. He was enveloped by darkness as if in a foetus. He then experienced the earthplane, fireplane. Then he began to investigate the nature of his own subtle body and wondered: "What sustains me who am pure consciousness?" He entered the infinite space of brahmA and saw everything there.

*vlm.p.Vasishtha speaking:—*vlm.p.1. Râma, I have told you all this from my own personal perception and not by any guesswork. Through their purely intelligent bodies, yogis like ourselves have come to the clear sight of these things in nature which are otherwise unknowable to the material body or mind.

*sv.3 For of what use is investigation into the nature of the world and others, which are but of the nature of a dream; wise men do not waste their time talking about useless things.
*vlm.3. Now whether the world is viewed in the light of a dream or any other thing, it is of no matter to us; since it is the business of the learned, to speak of its situation and what relates thereto; (and not of its nature or essence).
