Birds seized from the Asura do not see by heart the wondrous sage; poets discern the inner end of the sea and desire the foot of the mirages like seers.
The wise behold their mind; (seated) in their heart the Sun made manifest by the illusion of the asura;the sages look into the solar orb, the ordainers (of solar worship) desire the region of his rays.
THE sapient with their spirit and their mind behold the Bird adorned with all an Asura's magic might. Sages observe him in the ocean's inmost depth: the wise disposers seek the station of his rays.
