“One yogī, on hearing the sound of the king of conches, Pāñcajanya, suddenly became full of joy. Tears flowed from his eyes, his hairs stood on end, his head began to shake, his cloth fell on the ground, and he could no longer maintain his vows. Seeing the param brahman with dark complexion, in bliss he showed disregard for the impersonal Brahman by his speech.”
