36 In the Mahapurana, the Uttara Purana, the wise one who knows the Self, despises the cycle of birth and death, being detached from the objects of desire, which are the sources of sin and suffering. || 42 || What is unseen, untouched, unsmelled, unheard, and untasted by him, that he will experience as new? || 43 || What has been experienced is experienced again and again by the being, endlessly. What can be said to this being who is caught in the ocean of desire? || 44 || He cannot be satisfied by the senses, which are tainted by falsehood, etc., until the whole world is revealed in the use of his pure knowledge. || 45 || This body is the vomit of disease-like serpents, and this being sees that his loved ones are being destroyed by these disease-like serpents, yet he is still attached to this body. What a wonder! Has any being ever made love with life? || 46-47 || For him who considers violence, etc., as dharma, and the pleasure arising from the senses and objects as happiness, this world is pleasing, for he sees things in a contrary way. || 48 || That which destroys both the defilement of sin and virtue, the wise should always contemplate, practice, and study. || 49 || Thus, the Lord Padma Prabha, who has attained knowledge from the three-fold detachment of the world, the body, and enjoyment, was encouraged by the celestial beings, and the celestial beings of the four quarters performed the ceremony of his initiation and auspiciousness. He mounted a palanquin called Nivritti and went to the forest called Manohara, where he took the vow of the sixth fast, as if he were receiving instruction. || 50-52 || On the thirteenth day of the dark fortnight of Kartik, in the constellation Chitra, he received initiation, as if he were receiving instruction, with the respect of a thousand kings. || 52 || The wise one, Padma Prabha, who has attained the knowledge of the four truths, entered the city of Vardhamana on the next day for the practice. || 53 || King Somadatta, who is the holder of the white radiance, obtained the five wonders by giving him gifts. It is right, for what cannot be achieved by giving to the deserving? || 54 || With auspicious offerings, he collected the merit of the accumulated karma, and he performed the six austerities, including secrecy, etc., and became free from the cycle of birth and death. || 55 ||
