After a long time, which appeared to Mani like a short moment, the celestial roads had cleared; the stars were all gone as if their glow had poured into this stream of beings and things.

When even the last one had received its milk, and all the fulfilled desires swayed in the dance of bliss together, the man looked from his golden rock towards the dancing, shining variety; immediately all the millions and millions of beings and things danced in a splendour, that ever playfully renewed itself, towards the mighty, and myriads over myriads of mouths reached towards him like shining eyes.
