There, too, is found his bull upon which he rides. It is here that, according to their legend, all those go who belong to the sect of Rudra — that is, those with the litigants, and several other groups. When you ask them the nature of the heavenly felicity enjoyed in this place, they answer you that it lies in the enjoyment shared in by the gods as well as by men, their followers, of every sort of delight and grandeur. Besides dwelling in the presence of the god, some serve to fan him and prevent his feeling the heat ; others hold a spittoon for him, so that His Mightiness may not demean himself by spitting on the ground ; others hold lighted torches to prevent his being inconvenienced by darkness — in short, all wait on him for one purpose or another, and all make themselves useful. In addition, as they assert, he has numerous mistresses. From all the things these poor creatures say, it can be clearly seen that he is not God, nor is such a region worthy the name of heaven. - [Previous: 249.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.249.3) - [Next: 249.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.249.5) - [Up: 249](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.249) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.249.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.249.4) · Pramāṇa
