Śilaka Śālāvatya asked Pravāhaṇa, ‘What is the end of this earth?’ Pravāhaṇa said: ‘Space, for everything that exists arises from space and also goes back into space. Space is superior to everything. Space is the highest goal’.
Earlier, mention was made of the udgītha being the best as also endless. He who is aware of this and worships the udgītha as such keeps attaining higher and higher worlds, and he becomes increasingly a better individual.
(In ancient times there was a sage named Atidhanvā, who was the son of Śunaka and who knew the science of udgītha very well) Once when he was teaching this to his disciple Udaraśāṇḍilya, he declared: ‘So long as you and your family preserve this knowledge, the quality of life in the world of your family will be higher than that of average people’.
As in this world, so also in the other world. He who knows the place of the udgītha and worships it accordingly enjoys the best in life in this world, and he enjoys the best in life in the other world also (after death).
