## Chapter 212 of the Padma Purana
**18.** The bliss of the Siddhas is described as being beyond comparison, free from all suffering, and inherent to their nature.
**182.** What is the use of sleep for those who have lost their sleep? What is the use of medicine for the healthy? What is the use of lamps and the sun for the omniscient and those who have achieved their goals?
**183.** What is the use of weapons for those who are fearless and free from enemies? What is the use of striving for those who see everything fulfilled?
**184.** What is the use of food and drink for those who are content with the supreme bliss? Even the Indra, the king of the gods, constantly desires the bliss of the Siddhas.
**185.** Although there is no true comparison for this bliss, I will speak about it to enlighten you about the bliss of the Siddhas.
**186.** The bliss enjoyed by the Chakravartis, the Indras, and all the gods, even for an infinite period, cannot even come close to the bliss of the Siddhas, who are free from karma.
**187.** The bliss of the Siddhas is incomparable, even to the bliss of the inhabitants of the infinite universes.
**188.** Kings are happier than ordinary people, Chakravartis are happier than kings, Vyantara Devas are happier than Chakravartis, Jyotish Devas are happier than Vyantara Devas.
**189.** Bhavanavasi Devas are happier than Jyotish Devas, Kalpavasis are happier than Bhavanavasi Devas, Graiveyakavasis are happier than Kalpavasis, and Anuttaravasis are happier than Graiveyakavasis.
**190.** And the Siddhas, who are infinitely more blissful than the Anuttaravasis, are the most blissful of all. There is no bliss greater than the bliss of the Siddhas.
**160.** Infinite perception, infinite knowledge, infinite power, and infinite bliss - these four are the inherent nature of the soul, and they exist in the Siddhas.
**161.** However, these same qualities in worldly beings are different due to the difference in the cessation of their karma, and they are manifested in various ways due to external objects.
**162.** The happiness derived from the objects of the senses, such as sound, is like a wound filled with thorns, caused by the pain of disease. Therefore, the hope for happiness in the body is a delusion.
**163.** The Siddhas, who are free from coming and going, whose all afflictions are destroyed, and who are the crown of the world, enjoy incomparable bliss.
**180.** The sweetness of honey is like a wound, the bliss of heaven is like sandalwood paste on a burnt wound, and the bliss of a Chakravarti is like food mixed with poison.
**181.** But the bliss of the Siddha Bhagavans is eternal, supreme, free from suffering, incomparable, and born of the nature of the soul.
