}l ARASara said — The car of the moon has three wheels and is drawn by ten steeds white as the Jasmine — five on the right half and five on the left. The asterisms upheld by Dhruva move before the sun. And the cords that fasten the moon are tightened or relaxed in the same manner like those of the sun. foremost of Munis, like the steeds of the sun, the horses of the moon, sprung from the waters, drag its car for a whole Kalpa. Maitreya, when the moon is reduced, haviog its rays druak up by the celestials, to a single Kala, the radiant sun supplied it with a single ray. And as the moon is gradually exhusted by the celestials it is re plenished i» the same way every day with his rays by the g un, the plunderer of waters. Thus, Maitreya, when in the °alf month the ambrosia is deposited in the moon, the celes- lia Js drinkit for it constitutes their food, Tbirty-six thou- ^and tjhree hundred and thirty three divinities drink the ambrosia of the moon. When two kalas remain the moon enters the orbit of the sun and lives in the ray called

Ama and the period is accordingly called AmavasyS. During this period the moon is first immersed for a day and night in the water ; thence it enters the branches and shoots of the trees and thence it proceeds to the sun. Hence any person, who cuts off a branch or casts down a leaf when the moon is in the trees is guilty o'f the crime consequent upon the destruction of a Brahmin. When the remainder of the moon contains but a fifteenth portion the manes near it in the afternoon and drink tHb last but sacred Kalá which is composed of ambrosKi and contained in the two rMgits. The nectar that come's %!rqm the rays of the moon on the day of codjunction is drunk by the progenitors — and they remain satisfied thereby for a month. The progenitors are divided into three classes ;— Saumyas, Varhishadas, and Agnishwatta. In this wise, the moon, with its cooling rays, nourishes tlie celestials in the light fortnight and Pitris in the dark fortnight. It nourishes the plants with its cool nectary aqueous atoms. And through the development of those planfs it sustains men, animals and insects and satisnes them with its radiance.

I have thus described to you, Maitreya, the cháriots of the nine planets all of which are fastened to Dhruva by aerial cords. To Dhruva are attached the orbs of all thé planetá, asterisiris and stars. And they all raove in their respective orbits being kept in thcir places by their respec- tive bands of air. As raany are the stars so many are thé aerial cords by which they are fastened to Dhruva. As theý turn rojind they cause the pole-star to revolve. As the oilman goes round the spindle and makes it revolve, sö the planets revolve suspeflded by the aerial cords which are also .whirling round a centre. The air is called Pravaha because it bears along the planets like a diác of fire driven by the aerial wheel.

English

I have related to you, foremost^of Munis, that Dhruva is fitted to the tail of the celestial porpoise : I shall now describe in detail the constituent parts ; hear them as they are of great efficacy. People are freed from the sins committed by them during the day when they behold the celestial porpoise in the hight. And those who behold it live as many years as there are stars in it, in the sky or even more. Uttanpada is the upper jaw and sacrifice the lower jaw of that celestial por- poise. Dhruva is situated ori its brow and Naráyana in its heart. The Aswinis are its two fore-feet and Varuna and Aryamat are its two hinder legs. Samvatsara is its sexual organ and Mitra is its organ of execretion. Agnij Mahendra Kasyapa artd Dhurva are successively placed in its tail : which four stars in this constellation never set.

English

öriginated the lotus-shaped earth with its seas and möuri-' tains. The stars are Vishnu, the words are Vishnu : forests, ■nountains, regions, streams, seas are Vishnu — all that is, all that shall be — all that is not are Vishnu. The glorious Vishnu is identical with knowledge. He has got endless forms but is not a substance. All the mountains, oceans 'and. the various divisions of the earth you must consider to be the illusions of the apprehension. Wliert knowledge is pure, real, universal, independent of actions, freed from defect then the varieties of substance, which are the fruits of the tree o? desire, œase to exist in matter. What is substance ? What thing is thíK whjch has got no beginning, no middle and no end ? And which is of one uniform nature ? How can that object be cailed real which is subject to change and which reassumes no more its original character ? The earth is seen as a jar ; the jar is divided into two halves which are again broken into pieces : they again become dust and the dust is again reduced into atoms. Is this reality ? And although it is considered so by man it is because hís self-knowledge is obstructed by his own acts, Therefore, Brahman, there is nothing anywhere, or anything real at any time save discriminative knowledge. On account of the diversity of their actions, people, having diverse temperaments, consider that one knowledge as manifold. Knowledge per- fect and pure, freed from pains and renouncing attacfi- ments towards all these which cause affliction — knowledge, single and eternal is the supreme Vásudeva, besídes whom there is nothing. I havc thus communicated to you the truth — the knowledge which is truth ; and all tliat differs from it is false. Tiiat which is seen by the knowledge is but illusion of a temporal and wordly nature. I have also des- Cribed to you the sacrifice, the victim, the fire, the priests, the acid, juce, the celestials, the desire for heaven, the path followed by acts óf devotion and tbe worlds that are theír outcome. In this universe wbich I have described tp vou, only those people travel who are subject to the influence oí
