41. By Samyama on the relationship between akasa and the power of hearing,

divine sense of hearing is gained.

 

42. By practising Samyama on the relationship between the body and akasa and by

concentrating on the lightness of cotton wool, passage through the sky can be

secured.

 

43. When the unimagined conception can be held outside, i.e. unconnected with

the body, it is called Mahavideha or the great discarnate. By Samyama on that,

the veil over illumination (of Buddhisattva) is removed.

 

44. By Samyama on the grossness, the essential character, the subtlety, the

inherence and the objectiveness, which are the five forms of. the Bhotas or

elements, mastery over Bhutas is obtained.

 

45. Thence develop the power of minification and other bodily acquisitions.

There is also no resistance by its characteristics.

 

46. Perfection of body consists in beauty, grace, strength and adamantine

hardness.

 

47. By Samyama on the receptivity, essential character, I-sense, inherent

quality and objectiveness of the five organs, mastery over them can be acquired.

 

48. Thence come powers of rapid movement as of the mind, action of organs

independent of the body and mastery over Pradhana, the primordial cause.

 

49. To one established in the discernment between Buddhi and Purusha come

supremacy over all beings and omniscience.

 

50. By renunciation of that (Visoka attainment) even, comes liberation on

account of the destruction of the seeds of evil.

 

51. When invited by the celestial beings, that invitation should not be accepted

nor should it cause vanity because it involves possibility of undesirable

consequences.

 

52. Differentiating knowledge of the self and the non-self comes from practising

Samyama on moment and its sequence.

 

53. When species, temporal character and position of two different things being

indiscernible they look alike, they can be differentiated thereby (by this

knowledge).

 

54. Knowledge of discernment is Taraka or intuitional, is comprehensive of all

things and of all times, and has no sequence.

 

55. (Whether secondary discriminative discernment is acquired or not) When

equality is established between Buddhisattva and Purusha in their purity,

liberation takes place.
