MAHAPRATYĀKHYĀNA PRAKĪRNAKA : 21
58.
As it is difficult to cross the fiery hell, so it is difficult to satisfy this soul with perfumes and flower-garlands.
59.
With the objects of sound, sight, smell, taste and touch this soul neither has been satisfied in the past nor will it ever be satisfied in the future.
60.
In Devakuru and Uttarakuru ! the wish fulfilling Kalpavrksa trees are ever present. This soul has not been satisfied even after taking birth there as well as on taking births as a human-being, as one with supernatural powers (Vidyadhara) and even on taking birth as a heavenly god.
61.
This soul cannot liberate by eating and drinking. It can liberate only if it strongly desires to avoid bad births and acts accordingly.
Infinite number of times I have gained the kingdoms and empires and enjoyed the most enjoyable pleasures of the kings and emperors, but even then I have not been satisfied.
63.
Numerous times I have been born into the milky-water sea, the sea of sugarcane juice and that of the tasteful water of the great ocean, but even then my thirst has not been quenched.
64.
Numerous times this soul has enjoyed the sexual pleasures in three ways - mentally, verbally and physically, but its desire for sensual pleasures has not been satiated.
Devakuru and Uttarakuru are the best lands of enjoyments - Bogabhūmi, where there remains the auspicious time all the time and all the wishes of the inhabitants of these lands are constantly
fulfilled by the wish-fulfilling Kalpavrksas.
