________________ CHAPTER II, 5. 235 this hint to you. I am exceedingly pleased, O clever one! with your good conduct. Put (your) questions without uneasiness, I will tell (you) whatever you desire. I highly esteem your intelligence, and greatly respect it, inasmuch as you have made me out'; for, O Kasyapa! you are (a) talented (man). CHAPTER 11. Vasudeva: said: Then grasping his feet, Kasyapa asked questions very difficult to explain, and all of them that (being), the best of the supporters of piety, did explain. Kasyapa said : How does the body perish, and how, too, is it produced ? How does one who moves in this harassing course of worldly life become freed? And (how) does the self, getting rid of nature, abandon the body (produced) from its ? And how, being freed from the body, does he attain to the other? How does this man enjoy the good and evil acts done by himself? And where do the acts of one who is released from the body remain? The Bråhmana said: Thus addressed, O descendant of Vrishni ! that Siddha answered these questions in order. Hear me relate what (he said). · This was difficult, as the Siddha possessed extraordinary powers, such as that of concealed movement, &c. Sic in MSS. . Cf. as to getting rid of nature, Gilå, pp. 75–106. As to the body produced from nature, cf. ibid. p. 112, and pp. 317–318 infra. • I. c. the Brahman, says Nilakantha. Digitized by Google
