Chapter-10
The Divine Manifestation
18. Tell me again in detail, your creative power (Yoga) and your manifestations, O oppressor of foes. For while hearing your ambrocial words, I feel no satiety. O Lord of all beings, tell me about your manifestations, about which I have asked. If you say why you should tell the same things over and over again (186-190), please do not entertain this doubt even for a moment, O oppressor of foes. For even an ordinary person is not satiated by the drink of nectar which is offered to him every now and then. This nectar is, however, the brother of poison, and even though the gods drank it out of fear of death, fourteen Indras rise and fall during the span of Brahma’s Day. This nectar, which was recovered from the churning of the Milky Sea, has received without any apparent reason the name of ‘giver of immortality’. But no one is sated with this sweet drink and cries ‘enough of it’. If such a trivial drink is held in high regard, then your talk is truly an ambrosial drink of wisdom. It has not been obtained by churning the Sea of Milk by using the Mandara Mountain as the churning rod, it is naturally without beginning and self-existent (191-195).
