Vyāsa said: / He who is the primeval Puruṣa, who is praised everywhere as ancient, / Someśa, accompanied by the gods—those by whose eyes he is beheld on the surface of the earth, / having crossed the vast expanse of the fear of worldly existence, adorned with sacred ash, / go to heaven in excellent aerial chariots, just as sacrificers [go] through well-performed sacrifices. 1.
