Chapter-16
The Divine and Demoniacal Natures
15. “I am rich and of noble birth; who else is there equal to me? I shall perform sacrifices, give alms and rejoice” so they think, deluded by ignorance.“Kubera is no doubt rich, but he too is not my peer in riches, and even the Lord of goddess of wealth, does not possess riches equal to mine. Even god Brahma would look deficient compared to the greatness of my family and the assemblage of my kith and kin. So no one who boasts of being God can equal me. I shall now revive the black magic that has become extinct and perform sacrifices in order to cause pain to other beings (356-360). I shall shower gifts on those who will sing my praise and entertain myself with dancing and melodramatic shows. I shall appropriate all happiness in this world, partaking of intoxicating dishes and drinks, and enjoying the embraces of women.” In short, in this way these crazy persons of demoniacal temperament, long with great hope, to smell the flower of the sky. |
