If one were to speak of the globular concourses of this section of the universe with their immeasurable nature and abundant phenomena and the way that they excel each other in beauty, they sprawl a hundred crores and more, making thcm look like the crowded atomic particles in a ray of sun-light that enters into a thatched house the Great One is God. (1-6): If one were to know Him the hordes of Vedhian (Brahma) and the multitudes of Maal (Vishnu), source, existence and the very great cataclysm associated with the end of all things, redemption therefrom and re-establishment- all thise microcosms and macro-cosms like cddics of wind within the blast of a devastating tornado. He the beauteous one Who spins and makes them swirl about (7 12): He is the Ancient One Who creates the creators of the cintire universe; He is the God Who preserves the Preserver. He is the God Who withdraws into Himself those that have becn preserved. He is the Mindful One Who is unmindsul of those whom He has withdrawn (13-16). 131
