11. The wise hold that laghima (lightness) consists in (the Yogin)--whose body is equal to Mahameru--being as light as cotton when being lifted up.

12. The wise hold that garima (heaviness) consists in (the Yogin)--whose body is as small as an atom--being as heavy as Meru when being lifted up.

13. The power called prajpti (range of vision) consists in a person who lives in Patala seeing the Brahmaloka; and it is very hard to attain for those who are not Yogins.

14. The attaining, by one's own mere will, of power to journey through the

sky and of other such powers is called prakamya (freedom of will).

15. Some declare that there is a power called pvakas'ya (luminosity), in virtue of which all things shine in the light of the Yogin's own body.

16. The power to cause, by mere will, a creation of one's own, its continuance, and dissolution, and to command the sun and the like is called Isitva (supremacy).

17. Vasitva (the power of controlling) consists in having all the worlds as well as the lords of those worlds under one's

own control; and it is easy for Siva-Yogins to acquire that power.

Glory of the Divine Contemplation

18. Devas are under the control of that Brahmana who contemplates as above: what need is there to say that princes, tigers, snakes, women, men, and the like (are subject to his control)?

19. To those in whose minds the conviction as to their being one with the Universal Ego holds an unintermittent sway, to those who are perfect in samadhi, what is there which cannot be attained?

20, The wise man should recite this hymn and contemplate on the idea that

he is the Self in all, abandoning all yearning for the lesser fruits arising from svarga and so on.

21. No wise man, indeed, ever looks upon the kingdom of svarga as a great empire. That alone is his empire, namely, the identity of his Self with the Supreme Being.

22. All siddhis (powers) come to him who ever contemplates the Self in all. Wherefore, with the mind controlled, one should hold his empire in the Atman.

Love of God and Guru essential for wisdom.

23. "Who so hath highest love for God, and for the Guru as for God, to that

[paragraph continues] Mahatman the truths here taught shine in full."

24. He Who, by His power of light, affords light to all lights, Who lights the whole universe, may that Light shine full in His light!

25. Thus ends the tenth chapter in brief in the work called Manasollasa, which expounds the meaning of the Hymn to the Blessed Dakshinamurti.

Om Tat Sat.
