having discussed the matter

that night

the Goddess and the Lady

—when the family was fast asleep—

went

into

the Harem Tomb

~vlm.p.1. Vasishtha said:—After this conversation between God {brahman is neuter gender, not "he" but "it", The Immensity; Deva=God. jd}dess Saraswatî and the excellent Lîlâ on that night, the two of them found Lîlâ’s family and attendants fast asleep in the inner apartment.

they settled in samAdhi

they rested with still unmoving limbs

they were like jeweled sculptures or painted stone figures carved into a wall

~vlm.p.4 They stood motionless on the spot, as if they were sculptures engraved on marble columns, or pictures drawn upon the wall.

abandoning

became

as faint as the perfume of lotuses

when the dusk falls

~vlm.p.5 They shook off all their thoughts and cares, and became as withdrawn as the faded blossoms of the lotus at the end of the day when their fragrance has fled.

fallen from a cloud-garden

they entered deeply into pure and perfect peace

they were as still as an unmoving cloud

on a hilltop,

~vlm.p.6 They remained still, calm and quiet and without any motion of their limbs, like a sheet of clouds hanging on the mountain top in the calm of autumn.

thru

nirvikalpa samAdhi,

with equal affection without thought

they forsook outer awareness

as when the comely wishing*vine

gets sapped of strength

in its due season

~vlm.p.7 They continued in fixed attention without any external sensation, like some lonely vines shriveled for lack of moisture (in samAdhi meditation).

* #kalpalatA ‑ a fabulous creeper granting all desires = #kalpalatikA - a kind of magical pill.

yet Atmaka, a selfling, an entity.

~vlm.p.8 They were fully impressed with the disbelief of their own existence, and that of all other things in the world. They were completely absorbed in the thought of an absolute privation of everything at large.

—

like the horns of a jack.rabbit

~vlm. They lost the remembrance of the phantom of the phenomenal world, which is as unreal as the horn of a hare.

~sv. Because they had given up all notions of the world, it had completely vanished in their consciousness.

~AS. Whatever (yat) does not exist (na_asti) in the beginning (Adau eva) , it (tat) is likewise (tathA) non existent in the present also(vartamAne api); therefore (ata: evam ) , whether experienced or unexperienced (bhAtam vA, abhAtam vA) the world (jagat) is indeed like water in a mirage (mRgatRSNAmbuvat)

~vlm.p.10 What had no existence in the beginning is still non-existent at present, and what appears existent is as non-existent as water in a mirage.

in innate kevala.Fulness

peaceful

the pair of women became

That

—

the way that "moon" and "sun" and such

seem to become

in the far-flung sky

~vlm.p.11 The two ladies became as quiet as inert nature herself, and as still as the sky before the stars rolled about in its ample sphere.

~vlm.p.12.Then they began to move with their own bodies, the goddess of wisdom in her form of intelligence and the queen in her intellectual and meditative mood.

~AS.... like the sky (ambaram iva) - completely devoid of (dUramuktam) all streams of objects (padArtha-oghaiH) like sun moon etc (candra.arka.Adi). The etc. probably should mean stars, planets etc. Thus, it was like the space prior to creation! The description "completely calm" also has subtle shades of meaning. It is described as svabhAva-zAnta meaning calm by nature - like pure inert space.

what was within the house became a span of space

rising in their Awareness,

those two,

in Consciousness-Space,

became space-going entities

~vlm.p.13. With their new bodies they rose as high as the width of a hand above the ground, then taking the forms of empty consciousness, they began to rise in the sky.

thru the nature of their affective Awareness

entered

that stretched so wide and far

Whatever (yat) does not exist (na_asti) in the beginning (Adau eva), it (tat) is likewise (tathA) non existent in the present also(vartamAne api); therefore (ata: evam), whether experienced or unexperienced (bhAtam vA, abhAtam vA) the world (jagat) is indeed like water in a mirage (mRgatRSNAmbuvat)

*vlm.p.10 What had no existence in the beginning is still non.existent at present, and what appears existent is as non.existent as water in a mirage.

*vlm.p.11 The two ladies became as quiet as inert nature herself, and as still as the sky before the stars rolled about in its ample sphere.

*vlm.p.12.Then they began to move with their own bodies, the goddess of wisdom in her form of intelligence and the queen in her intellectual and meditative mood.

*AS.... like the sky (ambaram iva) . completely devoid of (dUramuktam) all streams of objects (padArtha.oghaiH) like sun moon etc (candra.arka.Adi). The etc. probably should mean stars, planets etc. Thus, it was like the space prior to creation! The description "completely calm" also has subtle shades of meaning. It is described as svabhAva.zAnta meaning calm by nature . like pure inert space.

They entered deeply into pure and perfect peace

they were as still as an unmoving cloud

*vlm.p.11 The two ladies became as quiet as inert nature herself, and as still as the sky before the stars rolled about in its ample sphere.

*vlm.p.12.Then they began to move with their own bodies, the goddess of wisdom in her form of intelligence and the queen in her intellectual and meditative mood.

*AS.... like the sky (ambaram iva). completely devoid of (dUramuktam) all streams of objects (padArtha.oghaiH) like sun moon etc (candra.arka.Adi). The etc. probably should mean stars, planets etc. Thus, it was like the space prior to creation! The description "completely calm" also has subtle shades of meaning. It is described as svabhAva.zAnta meaning calm by nature. like pure inert space.

*vlm.p.14 Then the two ladies, their playful open eyes and by their nature of intellectual knowledge, ascended to the higher region of the sky.

so those two ululating lovelies with their lulling eyes,

thru the nature of their affective Awareness

entered

that stretched so wide and far

*AS. Due to the natural tendency to be attentive to the seen (dRzya_anusaMdhAna.nija.svabhAvAt), even though both with spatial bodies (AkAzadehe api te) by observing each other (atra mitha: paraspara.AkAra.vilokanena) they became dear friends of each other (snehapare vayasye babhUvatuH)

*vlm.3.23.16. Here the pair in their etherial forms, looked about according to their nature in search of some visible objects; but finding no other figure except their own, they became much more attached to each other by their mutual affection.
