Then He continued: "That which disappears in chiṭṭa becomes chiṭṭa itself; that which disappears in that which is acted upon by chiṭṭa becomes that itself; that which disappears in Ksheṭrajña becomes Ksheṭrajña itself; that which disappears in bhāsvatī becomes bhāsvatī itself; that which disappears in nāga becomes nāga itself; that which disappears in vijñāna becomes vijñāna itself; that which disappears in ānanḍa becomes ānanḍa itself; that which disappears in ṭurya becomes ṭurya itself—(all these) attain that which is deathless, fearless, sorrowless, endless, and seedless."

"He who knows this as seedless in this manner becomes himself seedless. He is neither born, nor dies, nor is deluded, nor split, nor burnt, nor cut—yea, he does not feel angry, and hence he is said to be Āṭmā, capable of burning all. Such an Āṭmā is neither attained by a hundred sayings, nor by (the reading of) many scriptures, nor by mere intelligence, nor by hearing from others, nor by understanding, nor by Veḍas, nor

by scriptures, nor by severe ṭapas, nor sāṅkhya, nor yoga, nor observances of the orders of the life, nor by any other means (than the following). Devoted Brāhmaṇas who repeat the Veḍas according to rules and who worship Him with praise attain Him. He who is quiescent, self-controlled, indifferent to worldly objects and resigned, having centred his mind on Āṭmā sees Āṭmā and becomes one with the Āṭmā of all, as also he who knows this."

Then Raikva asked Him: "O Lord, where do all things rest? He replied: "In the worlds of Rasāṭala (or nether worlds)."

"In what are these (Rasāṭala worlds) woven warp and woof?" He replied: "In the worlds of Bhūḥ."

"In what are these (worlds of Bhūḥ) woven warp and woof?" He replied: "In the worlds of Bhuvaḥ."

"In what are these (Bhuvaḥ worlds) woven warp and woof?" "In the worlds of Suvaḥ."

"In what are these (Suvaḥ worlds) woven warp and woof?" "In the worlds of Mahaḥ."

In what are these (Mahaḥ worlds) woven warp and woof?" "In the Janaloka."

"In what are these (Jana worlds) woven warp and woof?" "In the Ṭapoloka."

"In what are these (Ṭapolokas) woven warp and woof?" "In the Saṭya loka."

"In what are these (Saṭya worlds) woven warp and woof?" "In the Prajāpaṭi loka."

"In what are these (Prajāpaṭi worlds) woven warp and woof?" "In the Brahmaloka."

"In what are these (Brahma worlds) woven warp and woof?" "In the Sarvaloka."

"In what are these (Sarva lokas) woven warp and woof?" "In Āṭmā—which is Brahman, like beads (in a rosary) warp-wise and woof-wise."
