3. Utpatti Prakaraṇa¶
उत्पत्तिप्रकरणम्
Origination. Having prepared the seeker, Vasiṣṭha now turns to knowledge itself. This book asks how the world arises — and answers that it arises in consciousness, as a dream arises in the dreamer. Bondage is taking the seen as real; freedom is the end of that. The teaching is carried by some of the text's best-known stories: Līlā, who travels through worlds within worlds; the demoness Karkaṭī; the sons of Indu; Ahalyā; and others.
The sargas of this book are being added in batches.
