King Janaka (who was listening to the Sage's words) said:- In the same way that when analyzed cloth is found to be just thread, so when all this analyzed it is found to be no other than oneself.
- Just as the sugar produced from the juice of the sugarcane is permeated with the same taste, so all this, produced out of me, is completely permeated with myself.
- From ignorance of oneself, the world appears, and by knowledge of oneself it appears no longer. From ignorance of the rope a snake appears, and by knowledge of it it appears no longer.
- Shining is my essential nature, and I am nothing over and beyond that. When the world shines forth, it is simply me that is shining forth.
- All this appears in me imagined due to ignorance, just as a snake appears in the rope, the mirage of water in the sunlight, and silver in mother of pearl.
