34. Sometimes the demons have despoiled, some parts of the heavenly abodes of gods; and sometimes the paradise of Eden (udyána), resounded with the songs of Gandharvas and Kinnaras. (Hence some part of the Himálayas, is said to have been the site of the garden of paradise).
35. Sometimes an amity was formed between the gods and giants, and I saw in this manner, the past, present, and future commotions of the world.
36. I then beheld in the person of the great soul of worlds, (i.e. in the face of nature which is the body of God); the meeting of the Pushkara and Avarta clouds together.
37. There was an assemblage of all created things, in peaceful union with one another in one place; and there was a joint concussion, of the gods, and demigods and sovereigns of men, in the one and same person.
38. There was the union of the sunlight and deep darkness in the same place, without their destroying one another; and there were the dark clouds, and their flashing lightnings also in the very place.

41. There was then but one vast void, wherein all things remained unknown and undefined, as if they lay buried and asleep, in the unconscious womb of a stony grave.
42. Nothing could be known or inferred of anything in existence, but everything seemed to be submerged in deep sleep every where; and the sky was filled by darkness, resembling the wingless crows and unwinged mountains of old.
