14. You are the creator and sustainer of those who observe the growth of cosmic clouds, trees, and creepers.

O you whose intention (āśaya) is undisturbed and whose intrinsic nature (svabhāva) is uniformly pure – everything about you is delightful. But alas, dear one, this burning nature of yours is truly a cause for our great sorrow.
