Mani looked at the eighth princess. Her head was as if surrounded by playful, golden shimmering sparks.
These sparks carried Mani on their radiant backs into the realm of cheerfulness.

Innumerable little channels of blessing truth poured down from her singing happiness of life into the calmer valleys of her mind and filled her with flows of love.

As Mani approached the great golden streams with all her attention, her own glistening cognitive joy came jubilantly floating towards her.

From two sides her sun and her moon looked at this magic world.
Spring, summer, autumn and winter resided here in perfect harmony.
All the wealth of the innumerable abilities that her mothers and fathers had given to her in their love, shone forth like purest gold.

Mani discovered a magic world of unbounded happiness of life. And suddenly she understood a meaning of this happiness, that is underlying all that is created; she even felt herself to be the creator of all things.
Overwhelmed with joy she ruled over this miraculous fullness of golden bliss.

At times she even did not know whether she was actually looking within herself, or outside into her surroundings.
All the diversity of the world blossomed within herself and spread into all spaces and times.

Endless waves of perfect truth surged against her faculties like against bright rocks of diamonds, and these billowing waves stimulated within her all the life of the world.
But at the same time again, she seemed to see everything at a great distance.

Dancing within and without, these sparks of pure creative power brought Mani's entire world of experience in a state of suspension.
Her feeling and understanding fell into a rapture.

Soon she saw her faculties dancing around in her forces of conscience like in a glittering splendour of stars. Like wheels of rays her feeling and understanding went around in her mind, striking sparks and milling her happiness.

With her feeling Mani lifted the golden sphere of bliss of her sun-nature onto its radiant orbit, and with her understanding she guided the course of the silvery crescent of her consciousness to the full moon.

A glistening shower of happiness of pure life poured from this mill of the sun and moon into all her organs of cognition and awakened in her the supernormal powers.
This wonder-working nectar grants immortality.

Finally the whole world of her inner, human forces expanded incessantly into infinity, like a huge brilliant cave of precious stones.
Mani was able to hear, feel, see, taste and smell into all spaces - she was even able to enliven and enlighten all her qualities and faculties as if they were living beings in their own right.

When Mani woke up from this blissful experience and saw the mermaids and the richly laid table, she did not know whether it was herself who had brought it all about, or if it all had come about by itself.
She even wondered if she was indeed everything herself - so inebriated she was from dancing on the famous sun-moon-mill deep in the light-flooded fields of her intellect.
