LAGHU YOGA VASISTHA
was I5 Ghatikas (I2 o‟ clock) when bustle in all
quarters was hushed up and nature was, as it were,
in a state of Samadhi with utter silence. Not even a
single footstep was heard. The darkness was so
thick as to be cloven by the sword. Mountain caves,
forests, etc., melted into thin void in the sable
gloom. I then returned from Samadhi and let my
mind rove in the heterogeneous objects of the
universe. Then flashed before me in that darkness
an incomparable light which I had never witnessed
before. It was, as if countless moons and pure
white clouds contributed their mite to increase the
dazzling splendour. In the light, I observed
Parameswara and Parvati locked in each other‟s
arms and preceded by Nandikeswara 115. Along
with my disciples, I rose up and went to them with
requisite materials of worship. Standing at a
distance,! eulogised them first; and nearing them, I
worshipped Parameswara with prostrations,
Arghya (oblations of water), sweet and cool
flowers and other objects Him whose mind is ever
cool and who has a merciful eye, free from pains.
115 This term means the lord of Bulls; this Bull stands for Pranava.
