Chapter V<br />

Instruction by the Bull<br />

<strong>The</strong> bull of the herd, addressing him, said: "Satyakama!"<br />

"Revered Sir!" Satyakama replied.<br />

<strong>The</strong> bull said: "Dear friend, we have become a thousand,<br />

take us to teacher‟s house.<br />

"I will declare to you one foot of Brahman."<br />

"Declare it, Revered Sir."<br />

<strong>The</strong> bull said to him: "<strong>The</strong> east is one quarter, the west is<br />

one quarter, the south is one quarter, the north is one<br />

quarter. This, dear friend, is foot of Brahman, consisting<br />

of four quarters and this foot is called Prakasavat<br />

(shining).<br />

"He who knows this and meditates on the foot of<br />

Brahman consisting four quarters as shining, becomes<br />

shining on this earth. He conquers shining worlds-he<br />

who knows this and meditates on the foot of Brahman<br />

consisting of four quarters as shining."<br />
