Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors
so that,
in glory and triumph,
they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot

OF THIS AND THAT
vasiSTha said—

now
here
the First Queen entered
—and she was maddeningly young!—
coming into the camp like lakSmI come into a grotto of lotuses
.
~vlm. ... as the goddess of grace pops upon the lotus flower.

||
arrayed in flowing garlands,
—followed by her companions and servants like a train of twining vines, —
all
were wholly overcome with fear
.
~vlm.2. She was decorated with pendant wreaths of flowers and necklaces, and accompanied by a train of her youthful companions and handmaids, all terrified with fear.

her full-moon.face
arose
above
her flawless body
—her panting, trembling breasts—
her teeth
sparkling
like stars set in a red sunset
.
~vlm.3. With her face as bright as the moon and her form as fair as the lily, she appeared as a luminary of heaven, with her teeth shining as sets of stars, and her bosom throbbing with fear.

||
then,
by one of her companions,
the rAjA was informed-about the present raging battle
—
like indra among apsarA.s
.
~vlm. ... the warfare ... resembled the onset of demons upon the Apsára tribe.
The First Queen's COMPANION said—

||
divine Lord,
this divine Lady
comes with us here
to you
for shelter in the Inner City
.
she comes for refuge
as a wind-stricken vine clings to a tree
.
~vlm.5. Lord! this lady, said she, has fled with us from her seraglio, to take refuge under thy arms, as a tender creeper seeks the shelter of a tree, from a rude gust of wind.

||
Your Majesty,
your wives
have been taken from you
by forces with weapons upraised, erect
.
so the great ocean wave.waters
beat at vines
along the mountain shore
.
~vlm.6. Behold! the ravishers ravishing the wives of the citizens with their uplifted arms, like the swelling waves of the sea carrying away the arbours of the bank in their rapid current.

||
the Harem Guard are all like grain milled into flour
ground.down by their enemies
who fearlessly swarm the downfallen as the winds ravage a fallen aloe tree
.
~vlm.7. The guards of the royal harem are all crushed to death by the haughty marauders, as the sturdy trees of the forest are broken down by the furious tornado.

come from far.away
they
have crossed.over & come.into our besieged city
—now grown fearful of the enemy—
just as
during the night in the rainy season
the rains batter the lotuses
.
~vlm.8. Our armies frightened by the enemy from afar, dare not approach the falling city, as nobody ventures to rescue the lotus beds from a flood, under the threatening thunders of a rainy night.

loud outcries
and
snake-flickery flames
.
our troops have withdrawn into the city
—
and the enemy is everywhere
.

||
the dallying court ladies and their companions,
seized by the hair, cry terribly
&
they are carried.away,
like fish caught in a kingfisher's claws
!
~vlm.10. The handsome ladies are dragged by the hair from amidst their families, in the manner of screaming cranes, caught and carried away by the cruel fowlers and fishermen.

so
she
you,
a flowing vine bruised by misfortune:
to relieve her suffering is in the power
of
Your Majesty
.
vasiSTha said—

||
so the King heard,
and so admiring the two divine ladies,
he declared
:
"Well,
I'm off to the war!
Give me your leave to go.
And while I'm gone let my wife
be a bee
browsing
your lotus-feet"
.

||
then
having said so much
the rAjA
rushed
outside
—
sprang like a lion from his cave
.
his anger-flaming gaze was like a maddened elephant's
when
it runs
trampling trees in a forest
.
~vlm. ... like the enraged lion from the den, when pierced and pressed by the tusk of a furious elephant.

lIlA
saw
*lIlA
—
and her figure
was just like
*her figure
—
like a reflection in a mirror
—
a very pleasing sight
.
~vlm.14. The widowed Lílá beheld the queen Lílá to be exactly of her form and features, and took her for a true inflexion of herself in a mirror.
The Waking lIlA asked—
किम्_इदम् देवि हे ब्रूहि कस्माद्_इयम्_अहम् स्थिता । या सा_अभवम्_अहम् पूर्वम् कथम् सा_इयम्_अहम् स्थिता ॥१५॥

||
who
is this,
Goddess
?
tell me
where
she comes.from
.
who is this "I" come here
?
she is someone
I was
before
—
so
how is she present as this
"I"
?
~vlm.15. Then said the enlightened Lílá to Saravlmati:--Tell me, O goddess! how this lady here is exactly as myself, she is what I have been before, and how she came to be as myself.
~sv.15 She asked Sarasvati: "O Divinity, how is it that she is exactly what I am? Whatever I was in my own youth, she is now. What is the secret of this?

||
the foremost ministers,
the citizens,
the soldiers gathered in force
—every one of them—
all those who were present then,
so again
here we all are
!
~vlm.16. I see this prime minister with all these soldiers and citizens, these forces and vehicles, to be the same as mine, and situated in the same place and manner as before.
~sv.16 Also: all these ministers, etc., who are here, are the same that were there, in our palace.
तत्र_अपि_इह च हे देवि सर्वे कथम् अवस्थिता: । बहिर् अन्तश्_च मुकुरे इव_एते किम् प्रचेतना: ॥३।४४।१७॥

||
how
can they be
there
as well as
here,
Goddess
—
outside and inside, as reflections in a mirror?
is all this just a fantasy
?
~vlm.17. How is it then, O goddess! that they came to be placed in this place. I see them as Images situated within and without the mirror of my mind, and know not whether these be living beings (or the false chimeras of my imagination).
~sv.17 If they are but a reflection or the objects of our fancy, are they sentient and are they also endowed with consciousness?"
The Goddess sarasvatI replied—
यथा ज्ञप्तिर् उदेत्य् अन्तस् तथा- अनुभवति क्षणात् । चितिश्_चेत्य-अर्थताम् एति चित्तम् चित्त-अर्थताम्_इव ॥३।४४।१८॥
yathA jJaptir udety antas tathA- anubhavati kSaNAt | citiz_cetya-arthatAm eti cittam citta-arthatAm_iva ||18
||
as your jnapti.Envisionment arises within,
so it is experienced at once
:
chiti
(as affective Consciousness)
becomes conceivable,
just as chitta becomes affected mind
.
~vwv.3044. As cognition arises within, so, one experiences (objects) instantly. Consciousness attains to the nature of the perceived object as the mind (attains to) the nature of a mental object.
~sv.18 SARASVATI replied: O lIlA, whatever vision arises within oneself, that is immediately experienced. Consciousness (as subject) itself becomes, as it were, the object of knowledge.
~AS. As perception arises inside, it is instantly experienced. The formative power (citi) becomes the essence of what is formed, just as mind takes on the shape of what it contemplates. * The point being made is that unlike material processes, the mental productions are instantaneous. • The consciousness reaches what is contemplated, just as mind reaches what is imagined.
~vlm.18. Sarasvati replied:--All our external perceptions of things, are the immediate effects of our internal conceptions of them. The intellect has the knowledge of all the intelligibles in it, as the mind has the impressions of mental objects in itself. (Or in other words:--the intellect is possessed of all intelligence, like the mind of its thoughts, as they present themselves in dreams. Gloss).
यादृग्-अर्थम् जगद्-रूपम् तत्र एव उदेति तत्_क्षणात् । न देश-काल-दीर्घत्वम् न वैचित्र्यम् पदार्थ-जम् ॥३।४४।१९॥
yAdRg-artham jagad-rUpam tatra eva udeti tat_kSaNAt | na deza-kAla-dIrghatvam na vaicitryam padArtha-jam ||19
||
according.with your sense of it,
the world-form arises just thus,
from That,
only in a moment,
without regard to Place and Time,
or other defining limit
.
~vwv.277. The form of the world, of whatever kind, rises there (in the mind) itself and at that moment. There is no length in space* or time. There is no diversity born of objects.
*jd. deza involves the directions as coordinates of its Place. absolute Space (AkAsha) subsumes the space in a jar, or your own kha.space (which may be su.kha or du:kha.)
~vlm.19. The external world appears in an instant in the same form and manner to one, as he has its notion and impression in his intellect and mind; and no distance of time or place, nor any intermediate cause can create any difference in them.
~sv.19 When in consciousness the image of the world arises, at that very instant, it becomes so. Time, space*, duration and objectivity do not arise from matter; for then they would be material.
~AS. As the world is formulated, it arises accordingly instantly, there is no separation in space or time and no variation due to materials. There is no separation related to space* and time and no variation caused by materials. Thus, the creation and experience of the world is totally under the mental control.
बाह्यम्_आभ्यन्तरम् भाति स्वप्नार्थो_अत्र निदर्शनम् । यद्_अन्त: स्वप्न-संकल्प-पुरम् च कचनम् चिते: ॥३।४४।२०॥

||
it shines within,
it shines without,
and everything that seems to be
is like a castle in a dream
projected in chit.Consciousness
.
~vwv.263/20b-21a. That city which is the fancy of a dream within, is also the shining (or manifestation) of Consciousness. That here is existing really and distinctly by its outer name alone, on account of much repeated practice.
~vlm.20. The inward world is seen on the outside, as the internal impressions of our minds, appear to be seen without us in our dreams. Whatever is within us, the same appears without us, as in our dreams and desires, and in all our imaginations and fancies of objects.
~sv.20 What is reflected in one's consciousness shines outside also.
~AS. The inside world (Abhyantaram) appears as the outside, here is an example(nidarzanam) of a dream substance- the creation of the mind in the form of a city formed in a dream. • ... the external appears as internal, this is like the substance of a dream. The internal world formed from creative dreaming is manufactured by the mind. Thus, the general meaning is that as the dream world is weaved by the mind, the external world also appears to be internalized.
तद्_एतद्_बाह्य-नाम्ना_एव स्व्.अभ्यासात् सत्-स्फुटम् स्थितम् । यादृग्-भावो_ मृतो_ भर्ता तव तस्मिंस्_तदा पुरे ॥२१॥
tat_etat_bAhya-nAmnA_eva su.abhyAsAt sat-sphuTam sthitam | yAdRk-bhAva:_ mRta:_ bhartA tava tasmin_tadA pure ||21
||
That
becomes
this,
the word itself manifesting outwardly,
because.of your conditioning
—
a sphuTam of sat
—
a spark of being.So
.
in just such a way, your dead husband was there and then in the city
.
~vwv.263/20b-21a. That city which is the fancy of a dream within, is also the shining (or manifestation) of Consciousness. That here is existing really and distinctly by its outer name alone, on account of much repeated practice.
तादृग्_भावस्_तम्_एव_अर्थम् तत्र_एव सम्.उपागत: । अन्य एव ह्य्_अमी भूतास्_ते_ऽभ्यस्तास्_तादृशा अपि ॥२२॥
tAdRk_bhAva:_tam eva_artham tatra_eva samupAgata: | anya_ eva hi_amI bhUtA:_te_abhyastAs_tAdRzA api ||22
||
only according.with his feeling is the sense to which he comes
—
these others are beings
strongly affected
to be
thus
—
~AS. By that feeling he came to that form there (your husband appeared in that form there), the others also by repeated feeling (te abhyastAH) appeared likewise.
~vlm.22. It is the same place wherein he exists at present, and is presented with the same objects of his thought at present as he had at that moment. Any thing that appears to be different in this state, proceeds from the turn of his mind of thinking it so before.
सद्रूपाः एव च_एतस्य स्वप्न.संकल्प-सैन्य=वत् । अ.विसंवादि सर्व.अर्थे रूपम् यत्_अनुभूयते ॥२३॥
sadrUpA: eva ca_etasya svapna.saMkalpa-sainya=vat | a.visaMvAdi sarva.arthe rUpam yat_anubhUyate||23
||
it seems to be an existent form
–like an army conceived in dream—
not varying in any way from the form that it becomes
.
~vlm.23. All that appears real to him, is as unreal as his dream or desire, and the creation of his fancy; for every thing appears to be the same as it is thought of in the mind. (All external objects are representations of their prototypes in the mind).
~sv.23 What is regarded as the real objective world experienced in the waking state is no more real than that experienced during sleep (dream).
~AS. They are real to him like an army visualized in a dream, and this is experienced without contradictory (avisaMvAdi) feeling.

||
tell me this much about That
:
how or whatever otherwise is
this
satyatA Suchness
at Doomsday
?
if it were so, then
That
would be transitory, insubstantial
.
~vlm.24. Say therefore what truth can there be in these visionary objects, which are altogether unsubstantial as dreams, and vanish in the end into airy nothing.
ईदृक्_च सर्वम्_एव_इदम् तत्र का नास्तिता-अधिका । स्वप्ने जाग्रद्_असद्रूपा स्वप्नो जाग्रत्य्_असन्मय: ॥३।४४।२५॥

and so it is for all of
this
.
in
That,
what can there be except nonBeing
?
in Dream,
Waking is an unSuch-form;
a dream,
in waking,
is an unSuch-construct
.
~vlm.25. Know then every thing to be no better than nothing; and as a dream proves to be nothing upon waking, so is waking also a dream and equally nothing at death.
~sv.25 During sleep, the world does not exist; and during the waking state, the dream does not exist!
vasiShTha* said—
मृतिर्_जन्मन्य्_असद्रूपा मृत्याम् जन्म_अप्य्_असन्मयम् । विशरेद्_विशर-अरुत्वाद्_अनुभूतेश्_च राघव ॥२६॥
mRti:_janman:_asad.rUpA mRtyAm janma_api_asanmayam | vizaret_vizara-arutvAt_anubhUte:_ca rAghava ||26
||
a death
in birth
is a form that's not So
—
and in death,
a birth
is an notSo-construction
that
shines from a sunburst of experience
—
(of after-being, rAghava)
.
* The use of "rAghava" indicates that vasiSTha must be talking.
none of my texts indicate this change of speaker.
~vlm.26. Death in life time is a nullity, and life in death becomes null and extinct; and these extinctions of life and death, proceed from the fluctuating nature of our notions of them.
~sv.26 Even so, death contradicts life: while living, death is non-existent, and in death, life is nonexistent. Because, that which holds together either experience is absent in the other.
~VA. could you please comment on construction vizared vizara-arutvAd - I don’t get grammar of this. One (state) destroys the previous and itself gets destroyed?
~AS. The word vizaret is the optative form of vi+zR which means fall off, decay. vizarArutva is the derived noun meaning tendency to decay. The first line is saying that death is unreal when one is born and life is unreal when death happens. The second line declares that everything perishable perishes when one has a contradictory experience.
एवम् न सन्_न_असद्_इदम् भ्रान्ति-मात्रम् विभासते । महाकल्प-अन्त-संपत्ताव्_अप्य्_अद्य_अथ युगे_ऽनघ ॥३।४४।२७॥

so
it shines.forth,
neither real nor unreal
—this Delusion-construct —
whether
in the catastrophe of a mahA.kalpa,
or
just now, at this present time,
dear boy
.
~vwv.1375/y6114.020/27. Neither real, nor even unreal, it has risen like the illusion of dreams. Thus, this world which is neither real nor unreal, shines merely as a false idea.
~AS. Even at the end of Kalpa, just as now, O Pure one! This is the permanence of mAyA, as long as the world survives!
~vlm.27. So there is neither any entity nor nonentity either, but both appear to us as fallacies by turns. For what neither was before, nor will be, after a Kalpa = creation or dissolution, the same cannot exist to-day or in any Yuga = age, whether gone before or coming afterwards.
~sv.27 One cannot say that either is real, or unreal, but one can only say that their substratum alone is real.
~VA. this is neither real, nor unreal, being only shining
delusion, at the end of great kalpa, or at this time, o dear boy!

||
never at any time does
this
happen
!
only
That brahman Immensity
is the world,
for
within That
these delusions
are
manifest as categories of creation
.
~AS. One should not say "in Him delusions manifest"(:-)) The world is just the Brahma which never ceases to exist. These delusions called creations shine in the middle of it (the world). The world has a dual nature. It has an intrinsic reality, being concocted by the ever existing Brahma. But its variability is unreal!
~vlm.28. That which is never inexistent, is the ever existent Brahma, and the same is the world. It is in him that we see everything to rise and fall by our fallacy, and what we falsely term as the creation or the created.
~sv.28 The universe exists in Brahman only as a word, an idea.
~VA. that which never disappears is that Brahman, and this
only is this world; in Him delusions manifest as creation-names.

like an optical illusion in the spacious sky,
they do not manifest substantially:
they are like waves in a sea—such are these creations in the Supreme
.
~vlm.29. As phantoms appearing in the vacuum, are all vacant and void, and as the waves of the sea, are no other than its water; so do these created things exist and appear in Brahma only.

outfallen
&
again outfallen,
they subside,
particles of dust spinning within the air
—
and so
the shining delusion-construct
is a mistake of the "I"-self
.
~AS. So, in this illusory appearance, the concepts of you and I (tvam aham ) about self (Atmani) are false (mithyA ).
~vlm.30. As the minutiæ appearing in the air, vanish in the air; and as the dust driven by the winds, are lost in the winds; so the false notions of yourself and myself, are lost in that Supreme self, in which all things rise and fall like waves of the ocean.
~VA. they are born again and again, and disappear, like dust
in the great winds; so the illusions manifest, being unreal, in Me-Atman.

what hope is found in gathering mirage-water
?
or the dust of creation or delusion
?
not there
is there found anything at all
:
That-only is the supreme state
.
~vlm.31. What reliance can there be in this dust of creation, which is no more than the water of the mirage? The knowledge of individualities is mere fallacy, when every thing is united in that sole unity.
~VA. Why put confidence in mirage water or dust of creation?
These are delusions and here is nothing here but Supreme state
~AS. In second line, I would say: Even the delusions are no different (tatra
anyAH), they too are the Great State (Brahma).

"In a dark cloud demons play"
?
it's only shadows, not yakSa imps
!
from That
are birth and death,
from That
are delusions and unconsciousness,
all which become This outspreading
.
~VA. in dark cloud, demons are seen, but here is no demons, only darkness; and so is delusion of birth and death, - there is (no birth or death, but) ignorance only. ~AS. The meaning is right. Only "tatam" is not translated. I would change "ignorance only " to "only extended ignorance".
~vlm.32. We see apparitions in the dark, though the darkness itself is no apparition; so our lives and deaths are the false notions of our error, and the whole existence is equally the production of gross error (máyá).

~vwv.1374/33-42. Therefore, this objective world is not real at any time; nor is it unreal. It is neither real nor unreal as the delusion of a snake in a rope.
~vlm.33. All this is Himself, for He is the great Kalpa or will which produces every thing; it is He that exists when all things are extinct in Him; and therefore these appearances, are neither real nor unreal of themselves.
~VA. everything, including great kalpa, is that which remains
always in peace (Brahman) this visible world in not real, nor it is unreal

either

or
there's only
That
brahman.Immensity
—from its first becoming in AkAza Space—
with only the paramANu.Singularity for substance
:
and it's in the aNu.Atom too
.
~vwv.365/345-35a. Where there is the atom of life, whether in the sky, within an atom or in a small particle of a material object and.so.on, there, this world experiences its own form (or nature). [The world being imagined by consciousness, in turn imagines other worlds.]
~AS. Both these are only Brahma from the beginning ...
~vlm.34. But to say both (the real and unreal) to be Brahma, is a contradiction; therefore it is He, who fills the infinity of space, and abides equally in all things and their minutest particles.
~VA. this duality is only because of existence of Brahman,
who is in space, in primal matter, in materiality and even in atoms.

~AS. ... the "world" knows every living living thing as its body. Just as fire recognizes fire as being born from its own nature.
~vlm.35. Wherever the spirit of Brahma abides, and even in the minute animalcule, it views the whole world in itself; like one thinking on the heat and cold of fire and frost, has the same sensation within himself at that moment. (Vide Hume).

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known. Carl Sagan |

~vlm.41. Yet the word world-vivlma-all, is not a meaningless term; it means the all as contained in Brahma (who is to pan). Therefore it is both real and unreal at the same time like the fallacy of a snake in a rope.

~vwv.1374/33-42. Therefore, this objective world is not real at any time; nor is it unreal. It is neither real nor unreal as the delusion of a snake in a rope.
~vlm.42. It is the false notion (of the snake), that makes the true (rope) to appear as the untrue snake to us, which we are apt to take for the true snake itself, so we take the Divine Intellect, which is the prime cause of all, as a living soul (like ours), by mistake.
~sv.42 It is neither real nor unreal: just as a snake-in-the-rope is neither real nor unreal.

unreality is discovered by examination so highest cause, Consciousness, is
taken for individual Self by mistake.
