They lived on vegetables, fruits and roots and meditated on Brahma (the Absolute),
who is truth, consciousness and bliss combined. Again, they started undergoing
penance for the sake of ›r∂ Hari, giving up roots and fruits for water alone, Their heart
ever clamoured, ìLet us see with our eyes that supreme Lord who is without attributes,
without parts and without beginning or end, who is contemplated upon by the exponents
of the highest reality, whom the Vedas describe in negative terms such as ëNot this, not
thisí, who is bliss itself, unconditioned and without comparison, and from a particle of
whose being emanate a number of ›ambhus, Vira¤cis and Viƒus.î Even such a Lord
is subordinate to the will of His devotees and assumes for their sake a form suitable
for sport. If the above utterance of the Vedas is true, our desire will be surely
accomplished. (1ó4)
