The wisdom of this work, like unto an instrument of applying ointment, hath opened the eyes of the inquisitive world blinded by the darkness of ignorance. As the sun dispels the darkness, so does the Bharata by its discourses on religion, profit, pleasure and final release, dispel the ignorance of men. As the full-moon by its mild light expands the buds of the water-lily, so this Purana, by exposing the light of the Sruti hath expanded the human intellect. By the lamp of history, which is the destroyer of darkness and ignorance, the whole mansion of nature is properly and completely illuminated.Saturday, April 5, 2008
Maha Bharata
The wisdom of this work, like unto an instrument of applying ointment, hath opened the eyes of the inquisitive world blinded by the darkness of ignorance. As the sun dispels the darkness, so does the Bharata by its discourses on religion, profit, pleasure and final release, dispel the ignorance of men. As the full-moon by its mild light expands the buds of the water-lily, so this Purana, by exposing the light of the Sruti hath expanded the human intellect. By the lamp of history, which is the destroyer of darkness and ignorance, the whole mansion of nature is properly and completely illuminated.
