Jada
Bharata Instructs King Rahûgana
(10) Smell, form,
touch, taste and hearing [the knowing senses];
evacuation, sexual intercourse, movement, speech and
manual control [the senses of action] with the
eleventh element of accepting the idea of 'mine', thus
gives the 'I' to this body of which some have said that
it is the twelfth element.

The
Conversation Between Mahârâja Rahûgana
and Jada Bharata
(5-6) The brahmin
said: 'This person, one thinks of as moving around on the
earth and who is a transformation of that earth, o
earthly one - for what reason would your Lordship, with
these feet and above them these ankles, calves, knees,
thighs, waist, neck , shoulders and upon those shoulders
the wooden palanquin upon which the one sits who is thus
known as the King of Sauvira, impose this haughty
insistence of 'I, the King of Sindhu' and thus be a
captive of falsehood?

Further
talks Between Mahârâja Rahûgana and
Jada Bharata
(5) By the noises of
invisible crickets disturbed in his ear, by the
vibrations of owls upset in his mind and heart and
suffering from hunger taking shelter of fruitless trees,
he at times runs after the waters of a mirage.
(25) The king of
Sauvira sure of an elevated position, came to a full
understanding of the truth of the oversoul; within
himself he managed to completely give up the conception
of a bodily self that he erroneously in nescience had
attributed to his person and thus, o King, followed he on
the path of disciplic succession to the Lord. '
Chapter

The
Material World as the Great Forest of
Enjoyment
(38) On this path
through the ocean of matter is one plagued by the
miseries of existence, to which the conditioned soul
himself or someone else sometimes thinks to have won and
sometimes thinks to have lost, giving up relatives and
accepting newly born ones. In that is a lot of
lamentation, illusion and fearing found to which one is
crying out loud at times and sometimes is singing in
glee. In bondage being far from the saintly life is even
up to this day found no certainty deriving from those of
whom this world of human self-interest came into being,
the material way to which the defenders of the peace
always point towards the other end.

The
Glories of the Descendants of King Pryavrata
(7) He, truthful in his
duties, protected his subjects maintaining them
[posana]; he made them happy in all respects
[prinana] treating them as his children
[upalalana], sometimes chastising them as a king
[anusasana]. He performed all the prescribed
religious ceremonies for the Supreme Lord, the great
Personality and source of all beings, the Supreme
Brahman, in every respect. Of his surrender, the many of
his spiritual qualities, by his service to the lotusfeet
of the self-realized, did he achieve devotional service
unto the Supreme Lord as he also in the purest
consciousness being continuously saturated within
himself, personally had realized the cessation of all
identification with his material self. Despite of his
awareness of his exalted spiritual position he remained
without any false prestige in ruling this way the whole
world strictly to the vedic principles.'
