DEVENDRASTAVA : 87
297.
Out of these two consciousnesses of infinite general perception ¢Kevaladarśana) and infinite specific perception (Kevalajñāna), all omniscients have one at a time and not two of them together.
298.
THE BLISS AND SIMILIES OF THE SIDDHAS Even if all the pleasures of all the heavenly gods be multiplied infinite times and squared again and again infinite times, they together cannot reach (compare with) the infinite bliss of the Siddhas.
299.
The unhindered pleasure that is available to the Siddhas is neither available to the humans nor to any of the gods.
300.
If the infinite bliss of the Siddhas is square-rooted infinite number of times, the quantity (numerical value) that is obtained is unaccomodable in the entire space.
301.
An uncivilised country bumpkin knows but cannot describe many an attributes of the town due to lack of similies (in his language) i.e. due to his lack of ability to put in words what he knows.
302.
Similarly, the infinite bliss of the Siddhas is incomparable and cannot be described. Even then I shall try to describe it with the help of some similies, listen.
303.
Eating and drinking the best foods and drinks satisfy a hungry and thirsty person, as if he has ingested elixir.
304.
Similarly, the Siddhas always remain completely satisfied and contented on acquiring incomparable, eternal and unhindered bliss of liberation.
