Meditate on the Siddha-the soul which is bereft of the bodies produced by eight kinds of Karma, which is the seer and knower of Loka and Aloka, which has a shape like a human being and which stays at the summit of the universe. COMMENTARY. Really speaking, a siddha is without a body, and hence incapable of being perceived by the senses. But from the ordinary point of view, a Siddha is said to have a shadowy shape, resembling the figure of a human beingt That is to say, the shape of a Siddha resembles a human figure, but is not clearly defined. The body is like the shadow of a human being. A Siddha may attain a higher stage which is the final one. A Siddha's body is therefore a little less than the final body. A Siddha has not therefore a gross body which results from eight kinds of Karmas. He lives at the summit of Lokâ kâća, or the universe in a place called the Siddha-silâ, beyond which Alokâkâsa begins. A Siddha, however, has knowledge of everything in Lokâkása and Alokâ kasa which existed in the past, exists in the present or * Sanskrit rendering: नाष्टकर्मदेहः लोकालोकस्य ज्ञायकः द्रष्टा। पुरुषाकारः आत्मा सिद्धः ध्यायेत लोकशिखरस्थः॥५॥ Naştâştakarmadehah lokalokasya jnayakah drasta, Puruşakaraḥ atmå siddhah dhyâyeta lokasikharasthaḥ-(51). +" निश्चयनयेनातीन्द्रियामूर्तपरमचिदुच्छलननिर्भरशुद्धस्वभावेन निराकारोऽपि व्यवहारेण भूतपूर्वनयेन किञ्चिदूनचरमशरीराकारेण गतसिक्थमूषागर्भाकारवच्छायाप्रतिमावद् वा पुरुषाकारः।" [Brhmadeva's Commentary).
