483 The magnificence of the ocean of the supreme Brahman filled with the nectar of the realisation of the ātman cannot be adequately expressed in words, nor thought of by the mind. My mind which has attained the state of a block of hailstone, and merged in a minute fraction of that ocean, is now contented by the enjoyment of that bliss. vārşikasilā: hailstone. Vide Amara: "varşopalastu karakah”.
484 Where has this universe gone? By whom has it been taken away? Where has it merged? It was seen by me just now; or, wasn't it? what a wonder!
485 What is to be discarded or what is to be accepted and what is different or what is distinct in the great ocean filled with the nectar of infinite bliss?
486 I do not see anything here; I hear nothing; I do not know anything. I simply abide as distinct in the form of my ātman in continued enjoyment of bliss. vilakṣaṇaḥ: distinct from the five kośas.

The śişya's ajñāna has been burnt away. He has become one of fulfilled purpose. He makes obeisance to his guru. For the precept is: bhāvādvaitam sadā kāryam kriyādvaitam na kutracit
