26. Daksha said:—Thou art in Thine own unimpaired essence, pure and absolute consciousness, and eternally untouched by the mental states (viz., attachments, likes dislikes etc.) or wakefulness and others; and Thou art the only fearless Being having ever distanced Māyā; and making the same Maya Thy

medium, Thou appearest as jīvas, (as if) engrossed with impure matter.
