Chapter XII<br />

<strong>The</strong> Head of the Vaisvanara Self<br />

"O son of Upamanyu, whom do you meditate on as the<br />

Self?" "Heaven only, venerable King," he replied. "<strong>The</strong><br />

Self you meditate on," said the king "is the Vaisvanara<br />

Self called the Good Light (Sutejas). <strong>The</strong>refore one sees<br />

in your family the Suta libation as also the Prasuta<br />

libation and the Asuta libation and you eat food and see<br />

what is pleasing. Whoever thus meditates on the<br />

Vaisvanara Self eats food, sees what is pleasing and has<br />

in his family the glory of Brahman. That, however, is<br />

only the head of the Self. Surely your head would have<br />

fallen off if you had not come to me."<br />
