Release
Yawning, sneezing, belching etc. which are minor functions of this wind, are known as naga, kurma, krukar etc. In this way, O great warrior, although the motive power of the wind is the same, it takes different names according to its functions. Know that this power of the wind, which operates in different forms, is the fourth cause of action. Then imagine that we have the best season in autumn, the rising of the moon in the night of the full moon, or an excellent park in the spring, the company of the beloved and all the requisite things of enjoyment (341-345), or that there should be a lotus in full bloom filled with pollens or that there should be poetical power in one’s speech, with artistic charm added to it and that charm should be touched by the highest Truth, so there should be excellence, accompanied with all splendid mental states, the senses should have developed well as a result of that intelligence and the assemblage of deities which gives support to the senses, should be favourable. This assemblage of favourable deities consisting of the sun etc. (346-350), is the fifth cause of the action. The Lord added, “I have thus narrated to you the Five causes of action in such a way that you will be able to grasp them. Now I shall elucidate to you the five reasons (instrumental causes) by which these causes expand and give rise to a chain of actions.”
