The king then said to Buḍila Āśvatarāśvi - ‘O Vaiyāghrapadya, whom do you worship as the Self?’ Buḍila replied - ‘I worship water, revered king.’ The king said - ‘That which you worship as the Vaiśvānara Ātman is named Rayi (wealth). This is why you are rich and healthy’.
‘You enjoy eating food and you see your dear ones and everything pleasant. He who worships the Vaiśvānara Self thus enjoys eating food and is able to see his dear ones. He also has children in his family who shine with the radiance of Brahman (i.e., they become well known for their good conduct and scholarship). But water is like the bladder of the Self.’ Then the king said - ‘If you had not come to me your bladder would have burst’.
