The sages, endowed with deep spiritual vision, beheld the radiant light of the supreme yogi. In the vast expanse of the sky, their gaze fell upon Rudra, the liberator, whose presence shone forth in splendor. He appeared before them with a thousand mighty arms, his matted locks crowned by the crescent moon, manifesting a form both awe-inspiring and divine. In his hands, Rudra held a staff, and his three eyes—embodying the sun, the moon, and fire—gleamed with cosmic power. His visage was fierce, adorned with sharp fangs, and his brilliance rivaled the light of ten million suns. As the universal creator, the god was seen dancing, filling the heavens with his energy. This lord of all creatures, the supreme ruler, stood as the imperishable light among lights, the very embodiment of time and its destroyer, the god of gods, and the great lord. He was the abode of knowledge and renunciation, the eternal yoga of wisdom. Indra and Upendra honored him, and the hosts of great sages revered his presence. He resided within the hearts of yogis, veiled in the mystery of yogic illusion. The knowers of Brahman perceived him united with the supreme Lord, and those wise ones, devoted to the knowledge of Brahman, felt their lives fulfilled. Among them were the illustrious sages Atri, Kapila, and Marīci, who, with hands joined and heads bowed in reverence to their own kin, experienced minds overflowing with bliss. They praised Pracetas, pure and composed of Brahman, the sage supreme among all, transcendent and beyond even the highest realms. The wise declared that he alone is everything, the creator of all things in their proper order. Dwelling within their own hearts, he danced—the self of yoga, the lord of consciousness, performing the divine dance. In this state, he repeatedly experienced the bliss of Brahman, and the radiance that shone forth from him illuminated all. The ascetics who were established in Brahman entered into him, and for them alone was eternal peace—never for others. He was self-luminous, unmoving, eternally liberated. The sages bowed to him, seeking refuge at his feet. He was the supporter, the sun, of many forms, eternal and the supreme person. He was the Lord of all, the Supreme Lord. He encompassed space, Brahman, the void, primordial nature, and that which is beyond all qualities. Whatever appeared between these, that was his true essence. With humble hearts, the sages prayed for his grace, seeking to propitiate the one Lord. They offered salutations to Agni and to Śiva, honoring the divine. When Bhava withdrew his supreme form, he became established in primordial nature. Then, beholding the god Nārāyaṇa, the sages spoke words of astonishment. Having witnessed the supreme form of the Eternal One, their hearts were fulfilled, and unwavering devotion arose within them, directed solely toward him.
