pillar in Nirvikalpa Samadhi. Then, in order to
acquaint him with his arrival, she made a leonine
roar, which even did not wake him up from his
trance. Though she tossed him up and down, no
impression was made on him in the least, in spite
of his body falling down. Then she thought thus It
is certain the supreme King of the form of Kumbha
has merged into the Seat of Brahman. Oh this is
really wondrous. If, after concentrating my mind
on his (subtle) body, I should find any residue of
Satva typifying the seed of intelligence in his heart,
I shall join my husband and live with him happily.
Otherwise, I shall have to renounce my present
female form, (and myself also) attain the Supreme
Seat of Brahman, so that I may not render myself
again liable tore-births. Having come to this sure
determination, she concentrated her mind and
cognized through her (spiritual) touch and eyes a
residue of unsoiled Satva in the King s heart,
denoting the intelligence yet animating that body.
