LAGHU YOGA VASISTHA
they visited the several localities in which the
Brahmin and others incarnated. Being freed from
all stains, they found that the divine Jnana alone
incarnated in so many bodies and as so many
resplendant Rudras. Thus did all these Rudras 124
attain Jnana. Being asked by Rudra, the real one to
go to their respective places, each departed to his
own realm. Jivata, Brahmin and others then lived
in their respective seats along with their consorts,
quitted their bodies at the appointed time and
merged into Siva itself.
At these words of Vasistha‟s, the valorous Rama
remarked upon the wondrous nature of the Muni‟s
words and wishing to know the cause of all these
marvels said thus: „How came the Sankalpa of the
Sannyasi to generate the living forms of Jivata and
others and become an actuality? Are not all forms
created out of Sankalpa unreal? Please enlighten
me about the same.‟
124 The Jivas or egos are called here by the name of Rudras. This
corroborates the statement of H. P. Blavatsky that the Hindu sacred
books term the egos by the different appellations of Rudras, Asuras etc.
