55. This lotus of Brahmā (Parameṣṭhi)—within whose petal-covered pericarp he is singularly devoted to meditation—rotates in the sky. It rotates as if it were a golden stone, produced from a machine, which itself possesses a watery form and is tossed about by the terrifying wave-crests of agitated mountains.

55. לוטוס הברקן של בְּרַהְמָא (הבורא), השקוע במדיטציה עמוקה במרכז פרחו העטוף עלי כותרת, הסתחרר בשמיים, נישא על גלי המים הגועשים והמפחידים כהרים, שנדמו לאבן זהב שחיקתה מגרסה.
