śrīvasiṣṭhaḥ uvāca: idam jagat ākāśam eva (asti).
yathā hi vimale vyomni mauktikam bhāti,
(tathā eva) svātmā eva (bhāti),
yathā jagat citgaganam.

Śrī Vasiṣṭha said: This entire world (jagat) is indeed nothing but space (ākāśa), just as a pearl (mauktika) shines spotlessly in the pure sky (vyoman). Similarly, the world is merely the consciousness-space (cit-gagana), and it is the supreme Self (ātman) alone that shines.

The sculpture (śālabhañjikā) of the three worlds shines forth as if by means of uncarved qualities. Yet, it is indeed carved out by the pillar of consciousness (cit) itself, and no carver exists here.

Just as the movements of water (jalaspanda) within the ocean, though intrinsically unwavering (acyuta) by their own nature (svabhāva), manifest as surging waves; similarly, those who understand the visible (dṛśyavid) also manifest.

Like the sun's light passing through a lattice (jāla), and also like the net-shaped dust particles [illuminated by it], the manifestation of the world (jagadbhāna) is considered gross (sthūla) relative to an atom (aṇu), just as mountains (acala) are [gross] relative to an atom.

tu jālasūryāṃśujālam vyatirekānubhūtidam (bhavati)

5.
This manifestation of the world (jagadbhāna) does not shine forth as separate from Brahman. However, the network of sunbeams from a lattice (jālasūryāṃśujāla) does give the experience of distinction (vyatireka).

These experienced worlds, which are of the nature of space and include elements like earth, do not actually exist, similar to how objects in dreams or mental constructs are not real.

In this world (jagat), which is essentially consciousness-space, the apprehension of concrete forms is nowhere possible, just like water in a mirage-river.

8.
In this world (jagat), which is devoid of concrete forms and is comparable to a city in a mental construct, the perceived reality, being illusory (bhrānti) in nature, appears like a river in a desert.

Just as the visible objects of dreams appear to beings, by what measure or definition can the splendor of the visible (world) be truly assessed? Untouched by conceptualization, this visible glory expands as space.

Excluding both empirical knowledge and discriminative knowledge, the world (jagat) is merely a receptacle for words and their meanings. Indeed, in their true significance, there is no difference in meaning between the words 'world' (jagat), 'Brahman' (brahman), and 'one's own intrinsic nature' (sva-śabda).

11.
This (world), however, is unintelligible (acetya) and merely inert (acinmātram), just as the sun's radiance appears upon the sky. Similarly, it is as subtle as a cloud born of imagination (saṃkalpavārida) in relation to a physical cloud.

12.
Just as a dream city (svapnapura) is insubstantial (svaccha) in comparison to a superior waking city, so is this world (jagat) insubstantial in comparison to a conceptual world (saṃkalpikajagat).

13.
Therefore, this world (jagat), being unintelligible (acetya) and of the very nature of consciousness (cit-rūpa), is merely like space (vyoman). Understand that the words 'space' (vyoman) and 'world' (jagat) are synonyms (paryāya), both composed of consciousness (cinmaya).

Therefore, nothing visible like this world has ever been created here. It is nameless, unmanifest, and remains as it is, ever-present.

15.
The world is truly just the consciousness-space (cit-ākāśa) within the great space (mahā-ākāśa), without any walls. It does not fill even an atom's worth of that space, nor does it register on a scale.

16.
It is indeed of the nature of space (ākāśa), pure, and devoid of any graspable mass. It is a wondrous sky-like (vyoma-maya) phenomenon within the sky, existing like a city created by thought (saṃkalpa).

Now, listen to this narrative of the pavilion (maṇḍapa), which is an ornament to the ears. This meaning will settle in your mind without doubt.

(King Padma was) like an ocean in upholding the established order (maryādā), a sun dispelling the darkness of his foes, a moon to the night-lotuses (kumudinī) of his beloved women, and a fire consuming the grass of vices.

(He was) like Mount Meru for the assemblies of the wise, a moon of fame in the ocean of transmigration (saṃsāra), a lake for the swans of good qualities, and a spotless sun to the lotuses of prosperity (kamala).

He is a tempest to the weeds of battle, a lion controlling the elephant of the mind. He is beloved by all branches of knowledge and a source of all wondrous qualities.

He is the wind that induces the graceful dance of the creeper of charm (līlā), and a lord (keśava) of courage and enthusiasm. He is the moon to the night-blooming lotuses (kairava) of generosity and the fire to the creepers of ill-deeds.

To perform service for a long time to that earthly Cupid, who bestows all joy, another Rati (Kāmadeva's wife) has arisen.
