श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
इति नृत्यति सा देवी दीर्घदोर्दण्डमण्डलैः ।
परिस्पन्दात्मकैर्व्योम कुर्वाणा घनकाननम् ॥ १ ॥
śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca ,
iti nṛtyati sā devī dīrghadordaṇḍamaṇḍalaiḥ ,

1. śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca.
iti sā devī dīrghador-daṇḍa-maṇḍalaiḥ parispandātmakaiḥ vyoma ghanakānanaṃ kurvāṇā nṛtyati.
1. Śrī Vasiṣṭha said: "Thus that goddess (devī) dances, creating a dense forest (ghanakānana) in the sky (vyoma) with her circles of long, staff-like arms (dīrghador-daṇḍa-maṇḍala) which are full of vibrant movements (parispandātmaka)."
क्रियासौ नृत्यति तथा चितिशक्तिरनामया ।
अस्या विभूषणं शूर्पकुडालपटलादिकम् ॥ २ ॥
kriyāsau nṛtyati tathā citiśaktiranāmayā ,
asyā vibhūṣaṇaṃ śūrpakuḍālapaṭalādikam 2
2. kriyā asau nṛtyati tathā citiśaktiḥ anāmayā
asyāḥ vibhūṣaṇaṃ śūrpakuḍālapaṭalādikam
2. asau kriyā tathā anāmayā citiśaktiḥ nṛtyati.
asyāḥ vibhūṣaṇaṃ śūrpakuḍālapaṭalādikam.
2. That unblemished consciousness-power (citiśakti) dances in this way, performing actions (kriyā). Her adornment (vibhūṣaṇa) consists of winnowing baskets (śūrpa), heaps (kuḍāla), layers (paṭala), and other such things.
शरशक्तिगदाप्रासमुसलादि शिलादि च ।
भावाभावपदार्थौघकलाकालक्रमादि च ॥ ३ ॥
śaraśaktigadāprāsamusalādi śilādi ca ,
bhāvābhāvapadārthaughakalākālakramādi ca 3
3. śarashaktigadāprāsamusalādi śilādi ca
bhāvābhāvapadārthaughakalākālakramādi ca
3. śarashaktigadāprāsamusalādi ca śilādi ca
bhāvābhāvapadārthaughakalākālakramādi ca
3. Arrows, spears, maces, slings, clubs, and similar weapons; stones and other such items; and the multitude of existent and non-existent objects, their qualities, and the sequences of time, etc.
चित्स्पन्दोऽन्तर्जगद्धत्ते कल्पनेव पुरं हृदि ।
सैव वा जगदित्येव कल्पनैव यथा पुरम् ॥ ४ ॥
citspando'ntarjagaddhatte kalpaneva puraṃ hṛdi ,
saiva vā jagadityeva kalpanaiva yathā puram 4
4. citspandaḥ antar jagat dhatte kalpanā iva puram hṛdi
| sā eva vā jagat iti eva kalpanā eva yathā puram
4. citspandaḥ antar jagat dhatte kalpanā puram hṛdi
iva vā sā eva kalpanā eva jagat iti eva yathā puram
4. The vibration of consciousness (cit-spanda) sustains the inner world, just as an imagination (kalpanā) holds a city in the heart. Indeed, that very imagination (kalpanā) is the world itself, just as an imagination (kalpanā) truly is a city.
पवनस्य यथा स्पन्दस्तथैवेच्छा शिवस्य सा ।
यथास्पन्दोऽनिलस्यान्तः प्रशान्तेच्छस्तथा शिवः ॥ ५ ॥
pavanasya yathā spandastathaivecchā śivasya sā ,
yathāspando'nilasyāntaḥ praśāntecchastathā śivaḥ 5
5. pavanasya yathā spandaḥ tathā eva icchā śivasya sā |
yathā spandaḥ anilasya antaḥ praśāntecchaḥ tathā śivaḥ
5. yathā pavanasya spandaḥ tathā eva sā śivasya icchā
yathā anilasya spandaḥ antaḥ tathā praśāntecchaḥ śivaḥ
5. Just as the vibration of the wind exists, so too is that will (icchā) of Śiva. Just as the wind's vibration is inherent within it, so too is Śiva, whose will (icchā) is profoundly tranquil.
अमूर्तो मूर्तमाकाशे शब्दाडम्बरमानिलः ।
यथा स्पन्दस्तनोत्येवं शिवेच्छा कुरुते जगत् ॥ ६ ॥
amūrto mūrtamākāśe śabdāḍambaramānilaḥ ,
yathā spandastanotyevaṃ śivecchā kurute jagat 6
6. amūrtaḥ mūrtam ākāśe śabdāḍambaram anilaḥ |
yathā spandaḥ tanoti evam śivecchā kurute jagat
6. yathā amūrtaḥ anilaḥ ākāśe mūrtam śabdāḍambaram
spandaḥ tanoti evam śivecchā jagat kurute
6. Just as the formless wind (anila) produces a perceptible manifestation of sound in space (ākāśa) and a vibration expands, so too does the will (icchā) of Śiva create the world.
नृत्यन्त्याथ यदा तत्र तथा तस्मिन्पराम्बरे ।
काकतालीययोगेन संरम्भवशतः स्वयम् ॥ ७ ॥
nṛtyantyātha yadā tatra tathā tasminparāmbare ,
kākatālīyayogena saṃrambhavaśataḥ svayam 7
7. nṛtyantyā atha yadā tatra tathā tasmin parāmbare
kākatālīyayogena saṃrambhavaśataḥ svayam
7. yadā nṛtyantyā atha tatra tathā tasmin parāmbare
kākatālīyayogena saṃrambhavaśataḥ svayam
7. Then, as she was dancing there in that supreme reality (parāmbara), she herself, by a sheer coincidence (kākatālīyayogena) and due to the intense energy of her movement...
निकटस्थः शिवः स्पृष्टः स मनागभ्रमन्तिकम् ।
वाडवोऽग्निः स्वनाशाय वहन्त्येवाम्बुलेखया ॥ ८ ॥
nikaṭasthaḥ śivaḥ spṛṣṭaḥ sa manāgabhramantikam ,
vāḍavo'gniḥ svanāśāya vahantyevāmbulekhayā 8
8. nikaṭasthaḥ śivaḥ spṛṣṭaḥ sa manāk abhramantikam
vāḍavaḥ agniḥ svanāśāya vahantī eva ambulekhayā
8. nikaṭasthaḥ śivaḥ sa manāk abhramantikam spṛṣṭaḥ
vāḍavaḥ agniḥ svanāśāya vahantī eva ambulekhayā
8. Śiva, standing nearby, was touched ever so slightly, much like the submarine fire (vāḍavāgni) is affected for its own annihilation by a mere flowing streak of water.
स्पृष्टमात्रे शिवे तस्मिंस्ततः परमकारणे ।
प्रवृत्ता प्रकृतिं गन्तुं सा शनैरुरजां तथा ॥ ९ ॥
spṛṣṭamātre śive tasmiṃstataḥ paramakāraṇe ,
pravṛttā prakṛtiṃ gantuṃ sā śanairurajāṃ tathā 9
9. spṛṣṭamātre śive tasmin tataḥ paramakāraṇe
pravṛttā prakṛtim gantum sā śanaiḥ urajām tathā
9. tasmin śive paramakāraṇe spṛṣṭamātre tataḥ sā
prakṛtim gantum śanaiḥ urajām tathā pravṛttā
9. Just upon that Śiva, the supreme cause (paramakāraṇa), being touched, she (sā) then gradually began to return to her intrinsic nature (prakṛti), and thus, to a mountainous form.
अनन्ताकारतां त्यक्त्वा संपन्ना गिरिमात्रिका ।
ततो नगरमात्रासौ ततश्च द्रुमसुन्दरी ॥ १० ॥
anantākāratāṃ tyaktvā saṃpannā girimātrikā ,
tato nagaramātrāsau tataśca drumasundarī 10
10. anantākāratām tyaktvā saṃpannā girimātrikā
tataḥ nagaramātrā asau tataḥ ca drumasundarī
10. (sā) anantākāratām tyaktvā girimātrikā saṃpannā
tataḥ asau nagaramātrā tataḥ ca drumasundarī
10. Having abandoned the state of having infinite forms (anantākāratā), she became mountain-sized (girimātrikā). Then, she became city-sized, and then, (a being) beautiful like a tree.
ततो व्योमसमाकारा शिवस्यैवाकृतिं ततः ।
सा प्रविष्टा सरिच्छान्तसंरम्भेव महार्णवम् ॥ ११ ॥
tato vyomasamākārā śivasyaivākṛtiṃ tataḥ ,
sā praviṣṭā saricchāntasaṃrambheva mahārṇavam 11
11. tataḥ vyomasamākārā śivasya eva ākṛtim tataḥ sā
praviṣṭā sarit śāntasaṃrambhā iva mahārṇavam
11. sā vyomasamākārā tataḥ śivasya eva ākṛtim praviṣṭā
tataḥ iva śāntasaṃrambhā sarit mahārṇavam
11. Then, she, sky-like in form, entered into the very form of Shiva, just as a river, its agitation calmed, enters the great ocean.
एक एवाभवदथो शिवया परिवर्जितः ।
शिव एव शिवः शान्त आकाशे शमनोऽभितः ॥ १२ ॥
eka evābhavadatho śivayā parivarjitaḥ ,
śiva eva śivaḥ śānta ākāśe śamano'bhitaḥ 12
12. ekaḥ eva abhavat atha u śivayā parivarjitaḥ
śivaḥ eva śivaḥ śāntaḥ ākāśe śamanaḥ abhitaḥ
12. atha u śivayā parivarjitaḥ ekaḥ eva abhavat
śivaḥ eva śivaḥ śāntaḥ ākāśe abhitaḥ śamanaḥ
12. Then, deprived of Śivā, he became one, Shiva himself, auspicious and peaceful, a subduer (śamana) present all around in the sky (ākāśa).
श्रीराम उवाच ।
भगवञ्छिवसंस्पृष्टा सा शिवा परमेश्वरी ।
किमर्थमागता शान्तिमिति मे ब्रूहि तत्त्वतः ॥ १३ ॥
śrīrāma uvāca ,
bhagavañchivasaṃspṛṣṭā sā śivā parameśvarī ,
kimarthamāgatā śāntimiti me brūhi tattvataḥ 13
13. śrīrāma uvāca bhagavan śivasaṃspṛṣṭā sā śivā parameśvarī
kimartham āgatā śāntim iti me brūhi tattvataḥ
13. śrīrāma uvāca bhagavan,
śivasaṃspṛṣṭā sā śivā parameśvarī kimartham śāntim āgatā iti me tattvataḥ brūhi
13. Śrī Rāma said: "O venerable one, please explain to me truly why that Śivā, the Supreme Goddess, who was connected with Shiva, attained peace (śānti)."
श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
सा राम प्रकृतिः प्रोक्ता शिवेच्छा पारमेश्वरी ।
जगन्मायेति विख्याता स्पन्दशक्तिरकृत्रिमा ॥ १४ ॥
śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca ,
sā rāma prakṛtiḥ proktā śivecchā pārameśvarī ,
jaganmāyeti vikhyātā spandaśaktirakṛtrimā 14
14. śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca sā rāma prakṛtiḥ proktā śivecchā
pārameśvarī jaganmāyā iti vikhyātā spandaśaktiḥ akṛtrimā
14. śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca rāma,
sā prakṛtiḥ śivecchā pārameśvarī proktā jaganmāyā iti vikhyātā spandaśaktiḥ akṛtrimā
14. Śrī Vasiṣṭha said: "O Rāma, she (Śivā) is declared to be the primordial nature (prakṛti), the supreme will of Shiva (śivecchā), the supreme goddess. She is famously known as the cosmic illusion (jaganmāyā) and the spontaneous power of vibration."
स परः प्रकृतेः प्रोक्तः पुरुषः पवनाकृतिः ।
शिवरूपधरः शान्तः शरदाकाशशान्तिमान् ॥ १५ ॥
sa paraḥ prakṛteḥ proktaḥ puruṣaḥ pavanākṛtiḥ ,
śivarūpadharaḥ śāntaḥ śaradākāśaśāntimān 15
15. saḥ paraḥ prakṛteḥ proktaḥ puruṣaḥ pavana-ākṛtiḥ
śiva-rūpa-dharaḥ śāntaḥ śarad-ākāśa-śāntimān
15. saḥ puruṣaḥ prakṛteḥ paraḥ pavana-ākṛtiḥ
śiva-rūpa-dharaḥ śāntaḥ śarad-ākāśa-śāntimān proktaḥ
15. He is declared to be the supreme cosmic person (puruṣa), beyond nature (prakṛti), and formless like the wind. He embodies the auspicious form, is tranquil, and possesses the serenity of an autumn sky.
भ्रमति प्रकृतिस्तावत्संसारे भ्रमरूपिणी ।
स्पन्दमात्रात्मिका सेच्छा चिच्छक्तिः पारमेश्वरी ॥ १६ ॥
bhramati prakṛtistāvatsaṃsāre bhramarūpiṇī ,
spandamātrātmikā secchā cicchaktiḥ pārameśvarī 16
16. bhramati prakṛtiḥ tāvat saṃsāre bhrama-rūpiṇī
spanda-mātra-ātmikā sā icchā cit-śaktiḥ pārameśvarī
16. bhrama-rūpiṇī spanda-mātra-ātmikā sā icchā
pārameśvarī cit-śaktiḥ prakṛtiḥ tāvat saṃsāre bhramati
16. That very nature (prakṛti), which is inherently delusive and whose essence is mere vibration – that divine will and power of consciousness (cit-śakti) – revolves within the cycle of transmigration (saṃsāra) for so long.
यावन्न पश्यति शिवं नित्यतृप्तमनामयम् ।
अजरं परमाद्यन्तवर्जितं वर्जितद्वयम् ॥ १७ ॥
yāvanna paśyati śivaṃ nityatṛptamanāmayam ,
ajaraṃ paramādyantavarjitaṃ varjitadvayam 17
17. yāvat na paśyati śivam nitya-tṛptam anāmayam
ajaram parama-ādi-anta-varjitam varjita-dvayam
17. yāvat na (prakṛtiḥ) nitya-tṛptam anāmayam ajaram
parama-ādi-anta-varjitam varjita-dvayam śivam paśyati
17. Until that nature (prakṛti) perceives Śiva, who is eternally content, free from all imperfections, ageless, without ultimate beginning or end, and beyond all duality.
संविन्मात्रैकधर्मित्वात्काकतालीययोगतः ।
संविद्देवी शिवं स्पृष्ट्वा तन्मयीव भवत्यलम् ॥ १८ ॥
saṃvinmātraikadharmitvātkākatālīyayogataḥ ,
saṃviddevī śivaṃ spṛṣṭvā tanmayīva bhavatyalam 18
18. saṃvit-mātra-eka-dharmitvāt kāka-tālīya-yogataḥ
saṃvit-devī śivam spṛṣṭvā tan-mayī iva bhavati alam
18. saṃvit-mātra-eka-dharmitvāt kāka-tālīya-yogataḥ
saṃvit-devī śivam spṛṣṭvā tan-mayī iva alam bhavati
18. Due to having consciousness as its sole intrinsic nature (dharma), the goddess of consciousness (saṃvit-devī), by a sheer chance occurrence (kāka-tālīya-yoga), becomes as if completely one with Śiva upon coming into contact with him.
प्रकृतिः पुरुषं स्पृष्ट्वा प्रकृतित्वं समुज्झति ।
तदन्तरेकतां गत्वा नदीरूपमिवार्णवे ॥ १९ ॥
prakṛtiḥ puruṣaṃ spṛṣṭvā prakṛtitvaṃ samujjhati ,
tadantarekatāṃ gatvā nadīrūpamivārṇave 19
19. prakṛtiḥ puruṣam spṛṣṭvā prakṛtitvam samujjhati
tat antarekatām gatvā nadīrūpam iva arṇave
19. prakṛtiḥ puruṣam spṛṣṭvā prakṛtitvam samujjhati
tat antarekatām gatvā arṇave nadīrūpam iva
19. Nature (prakṛti), having come into contact with the cosmic person (puruṣa), completely abandons its own distinct nature. It is as if a river, having attained oneness within the ocean, gives up its individual river form.
आपगा हि पयोमात्रं सङ्गे अर्णव एव सा ।
यदा तदा तमेवाशु प्राप्य तत्रैव लीयते ॥ २० ॥
āpagā hi payomātraṃ saṅge arṇava eva sā ,
yadā tadā tamevāśu prāpya tatraiva līyate 20
20. āpagā hi payomātram saṅge arṇavaḥ eva sā yadā
tadā tam eva āśu prāpya tatra eva līyate
20. āpagā hi saṅge payomātram arṇavaḥ eva sā yadā
tadā tam eva āśu prāpya tatra eva līyate
20. Indeed, when a river (āpagā) merges (saṅge) with the ocean, it is merely water; it becomes the ocean itself. When that happens, having swiftly reached it (the ocean), it dissolves right there.
चितिः शिवेच्छा सा देवं तमेवासाद्य शाम्यति ।
जन्मस्थानशिलां प्राप्य तीक्ष्णधारा यथायसी ॥ २१ ॥
citiḥ śivecchā sā devaṃ tamevāsādya śāmyati ,
janmasthānaśilāṃ prāpya tīkṣṇadhārā yathāyasī 21
21. citiḥ śivecchā sā devam tam eva āsādya śāmyati
janmasthānaśilām prāpya tīkṣṇadhārā yathā ayasī
21. citiḥ śivecchā sā devam tam eva āsādya śāmyati; yathā
ayasī tīkṣṇadhārā janmasthānaśilām prāpya (śāmyati)
21. Consciousness (citiḥ), which is the will of Śiva (śivecchā), having reached that very deity, becomes tranquil, just as a sharp iron blade, having reached the grindstone of its origin, becomes calm.
पुंसश्छायां निजच्छाया प्रविष्टस्य शरीरकम् ।
यथाशु प्रविशत्येव प्रकृतिः पुरुषं तथा ॥ २२ ॥
puṃsaśchāyāṃ nijacchāyā praviṣṭasya śarīrakam ,
yathāśu praviśatyeva prakṛtiḥ puruṣaṃ tathā 22
22. puṃsaḥ chāyām nijacchāyā praviṣṭasya śarīrakam
yathā āśu praviśati eva prakṛtiḥ puruṣam tathā
22. yathā āśu nijacchāyā praviṣṭasya puṃsaḥ chāyām śarīrakam eva praviśati,
tathā prakṛtiḥ puruṣam
22. Just as a person's own shadow (nijacchāyā) quickly enters the body (śarīrakam) of one who has entered a shadow, so too does nature (prakṛti) enter the cosmic person (puruṣa).
चेतित्वा चिन्निजं भावं पुरुषाख्यं सनातनम् ।
भूयो भ्रमति संसारे नेह तत्तां प्रयाति हि ॥ २३ ॥
cetitvā cinnijaṃ bhāvaṃ puruṣākhyaṃ sanātanam ,
bhūyo bhramati saṃsāre neha tattāṃ prayāti hi 23
23. cetitvā cit nijam bhāvam puruṣākhyam sanātanam
bhūyaḥ bhramati saṃsāre na iha tattām prayāti hi
23. cit nijam sanātanam puruṣākhyam bhāvam cetitvā,
bhūyaḥ saṃsāre bhramati,
hi iha tattām na prayāti.
23. If consciousness (cit), even after realizing its own intrinsic, eternal nature, which is called the cosmic person (puruṣa), still wanders repeatedly in the cycle of transmigration (saṃsāra), then it certainly does not attain identity with that [supreme state] in this [embodied] life.
साधुर्वसति चोरौघे तावद्यावदसौ नतम् ।
परिजानाति विज्ञाय न तत्र रमते पुनः ॥ २४ ॥
sādhurvasati coraughe tāvadyāvadasau natam ,
parijānāti vijñāya na tatra ramate punaḥ 24
24. sādhuḥ vasati coraughe tāvat yāvat asau natam
parijānāti vijñāya na tatra ramate punaḥ
24. sādhuḥ coraughe vasati.
yāvat asau natam vijñāya parijānāti,
tāvat punaḥ tatra na ramate.
24. A wise person (sādhu) may reside among a group of thieves. However, as soon as that person truly comprehends the degraded nature of such company after discerning it, he no longer finds delight there.
द्वैते तावदसद्रूपे रमते भ्रमते चितिः ।
परं पश्यति नो यावत्तं दृष्ट्वा तन्मयी भवेत् ॥ २५ ॥
dvaite tāvadasadrūpe ramate bhramate citiḥ ,
paraṃ paśyati no yāvattaṃ dṛṣṭvā tanmayī bhavet 25
25. dvaite tāvat asadrūpe ramate bhramate citiḥ param
paśyati na u yāvat tam dṛṣṭvā tanmayī bhavet
25. citiḥ yāvat param na u paśyati,
tāvat asadrūpe dvaite ramate bhramate.
tam dṛṣṭvā tanmayī bhavet.
25. Consciousness (citi) continues to delight and wander in duality, which is essentially unreal, as long as it does not perceive the Supreme (param). Once it perceives that [Supreme], it becomes absorbed in and identified with it.
चितिनिर्वाणरूपं यत्प्रकृतिः परमं पदम् ।
प्राप्य तत्तामवाप्नोति सरिदब्धाविवाब्धिताम् ॥ २६ ॥
citinirvāṇarūpaṃ yatprakṛtiḥ paramaṃ padam ,
prāpya tattāmavāpnoti saridabdhāvivābdhitām 26
26. citi nirvāṇarūpam yat prakṛtiḥ paramam padam
prāpya tattām avāpnoti sarit abdhau iva abdhitām
26. prāpya yat citi nirvāṇarūpam prakṛtiḥ paramam padam,
[saḥ] tattām avāpnoti,
sarit abdhau iva abdhitām.
26. Having reached that supreme state (padam) which is consciousness (citi) in the form of liberation (nirvāṇa), and which is also the ultimate intrinsic nature (prakṛti), one attains identity with it, just as a river merging into the ocean attains the state of being the ocean.
तावद्विमोहवशतश्चितिराकुलेषु सर्गेषु संसरति जन्मदशासु तासु ।
यावन्न पश्यति परं तमथाशु दृष्ट्वा तत्रैव मज्जति घनं मधुनीव भृङ्गी ॥ २७ ॥
tāvadvimohavaśataścitirākuleṣu sargeṣu saṃsarati janmadaśāsu tāsu ,
yāvanna paśyati paraṃ tamathāśu dṛṣṭvā tatraiva majjati ghanaṃ madhunīva bhṛṅgī 27
27. tāvat vimohavaśataḥ citiḥ ākuleṣu sargeṣu
saṃsarati janmadaśāsu tāsu yāvat na
paśyati paraṃ tam atha āśu dṛṣṭvā
tatra eva majjati ghanaṃ madhuni iva bhṛṅgī
27. citiḥ tāvat vimohavaśataḥ ākuleṣu tāsu
janmadaśāsu sargeṣu saṃsarati yāvat
paraṃ tam na paśyati atha āśu dṛṣṭvā
tatra eva ghanaṃ majjati madhuni bhṛṅgī iva
27. As long as consciousness (citi), due to the influence of delusion, wanders through these troubled creations and states of birth, it does not perceive that Supreme Reality (brahman). But then, having quickly perceived that Supreme Reality, it merges deeply into it, just as a bee deeply immerses itself in honey.
संप्राप्य कस्त्यजति नाम तदात्मतत्त्वं प्राप्यानुभूय च जहाति रसायनं कः ।
शाम्यन्ति येन सकलानि निरन्तराणि दुःखानि जन्ममृतिमोहमयानि राम ॥ २८ ॥
saṃprāpya kastyajati nāma tadātmatattvaṃ prāpyānubhūya ca jahāti rasāyanaṃ kaḥ ,
śāmyanti yena sakalāni nirantarāṇi duḥkhāni janmamṛtimohamayāni rāma 28
28. samprāpya kaḥ tyajati nāma tat ātmatattvaṃ
prāpya anubhūya ca jahāti rasāyanaṃ
kaḥ śāmyanti yena sakalāni
nirantarāṇi duḥkhāni janmamṛtimohamayāni rāma
28. rāma kaḥ tat ātmatattvaṃ samprāpya nāma
tyajati ca kaḥ rasāyanaṃ prāpya anubhūya
ca jahāti yena sakalāni nirantarāṇi
janmamṛtimohamayāni duḥkhāni śāmyanti
28. O Rama, who would indeed abandon that reality of the Self (ātmatattva) after having truly obtained it? And who, having obtained and experienced a life-restoring elixir, would ever abandon it? For by that (ātmatattva), all incessant sorrows - those born of birth, death, and delusion - are completely pacified.
