communicate his blessings to the whole cosmos, for hisBeing is, verily, All-Being.We may recall to our memory the famous story of SriKrishna taking a particle of food from the hands ofDraupadi, in the Kamyaka forest, when she called to Himfor help, and with this little grain that he partook of, thewhole universe was filled, and all people were satisfied,because Krishna stood there tuned up with the UniversalVirat. So is also the case with any person who is in aposition to meditate on the Virat, and assume the positionof the Virat. The whole universe shall become friendly withthis Person; all existence shall ask for sustenance andblessing from this Universal Being. This meditator is nomore a human being; he is veritably, God Himself. Themeditator on Vaisvanara is himself Vaisvanara, theSupreme Virat.8
