You are the giver of higher fruits to the Devas, you are the winner of the hearts of heavenly ladies you are the mind of all, you captivate, you are the great forest like, wide expanse of ether (mahâkâśa), the minds of all, of which the rain clouds are the shoulders, satya loka is the branches, the oceans are the juice extracted, the nether regions are the basins for water dug round the tree Airavata is the foot of the tree, all the beings are the birds, and you are the great tree, consisting of all the Lokas, with goodness, gentleness and the other best qualities forming the sweet scent, you are the great ocean in the form of the three Lokas, the twelve Adityas are the islands thereof, the eleven Rudras are the the foundations and towns, the eight Vasus are the mountains the Siddhas and the Sadhyas are the billows, the birds are the winds, the Daityas are the crocodiles, the Uragas and Râkṣasas the fishes, Brahmâ is the great patience, the heavenly ladies are the gems, Buddhi Lakṣmı, modesty and fame, are the rivers Time is the great knot, sacrifices are the moments thereof O Narayana! you are mighty by your yoga, you are the great time and become delighted by the clear waters of your own —19-26
