It
is from that illustrious and foremost of Beings that Touch also has
arisen. It is attached to the Wind, in consequence of which the Wind
moves about in the world producing the sensation of touch. It is from
that puissant Lord of the entire universe that Sound has arisen. It
attaches to Space, which, in consequence thereof, exists uncovered and
unconfined. It is from that illustrious Being that Mind, which pervades
all Beings, has arisen. It attaches to Chandramas, in consequence of
which Chandramas comes to be invested with the attribute of displaying
all the things. That spot where the divine Narayana, that partaker of the
libations and other offerings made in sacrifices, resides with Knowledge
alone for his companion, has in the Vedas, been called by the name of the
productive cause of all things or Sat.[1890] The path that is theirs, O
foremost of regenerate persons, that are stainless and that are freed
from both virtue and sin, is fraught with auspiciousness and felicity.
Aditya, who is the dispeller of the darkness of all the worlds, is said
to be the door (through which the Emancipate must pass). Entering Aditya,
the bodies of such persons become consumed by his fire. They then become
invisible for after that they cannot be seen by anybody at any time.
Reduced into invisible atoms, they then enter (Narayana in manifested
form and residing in the middle of the region covered by Aditya) into the
form of Aniruddha. Losing all physical attributes and being altogether
and transformed into Mind alone, they then enter into Pradyumna.
