⁴ It is said by Kambalāmbara-pāda in a song that his boat of karuṇā is filled with the gold of vacuity. (Song No. 8). In another song where Kaṇhu-pāda explains the esoteric doctrine by the metaphor of the chess-game, compassion has been made the play-board. (Song No. 12). Again in explaining the ultimate stage Kaṇhu-pāda says that he sees his body in compassion and vacuity. (Song No. 13). In the commentary of the Caryās the Siddhācāryas are said to have composed these songs through deep compassion for the beings. (See Comm. on Songs Nos. 1, 7, 8).
