4. He then said to Aruna Aupaveshi, “O Gautama, as whom knowest thou Vaishvanara?”—“As Earth only, O king;” he replied.—“Yea,” he said, “that indeed is Vaishvanara, the foundation; and because thou knowest the Vaishvanara Foundation (pratishtha) therefore thou art firmly established (pratishthita) with offspring and cattle; and, verily, he who knows that Vaishvanara Foundation, repels Death and attains all life. But, in truth, these are only the feet of Vaishvanara, and thy feet would have withered away, hadst thou not come hither; or the feet would be unknown to thee, hadst thou not come hither.”
