READING THE TENTH.

THE HOLY ONE spoke.

Hear further still, O large-armed one! my all-important works which I will speak to thee, who hast a delight therein (a), from a desire for thy good.

The hosts of Suras1 know not any origin of Me, nor the great Rishis;2 for I am the primal source of all the gods and the great Rishis.

He who knows Me, as unborn and without beginning, the mighty Lord of the world, he of mortals is undeluded, he is freed from all sin.

Mind, knowledge, absence of illusion, patience, truth, self-restraint, tranquillity, pleasure, pain, birth, death, fear, and courage also; 5 Innocence, evenness of mind, contentment, religious austerity, beneficence, glory and shame, these are the qualities of beings severally appointed by Me.

The seven great Rishis, the four ancient (Fathers),3 and the Manus,1 partaking of my nature, were born from my mind: from them the races of mankind have sprung.

He who knows in truth that pre-eminence (b) and mystic power of mine is united (to Me) by unfailing devotion: of that there is no doubt.

I am the source of all things; the whole (universe) proceeds from Me: thinking thus, the wise who share my nature (c) worship Me.

Thinking on Me, having their life absorbed in Me (d), instructing each other and ever glorifying Me, they are contented and happy. 10 To these, constantly devout, who worship with the service of love, I give that mental devotion by which they come to Me.

In them I destroy from compassion, dwelling in their souls (e), the darkness which is born of ignorance, by the bright lamp of knowledge.
