There are many waterfalls, and in the mountains there are many beautiful caves in which the very beautiful wives of the mystics are found.

Gauḍīya
Translation
It is filled with many pure waterfalls and various caves and plateaus. It is enjoyed by the wives of the perfected beings who sport there with their husbands.
Ramaṇaiḥ means “with their lovers.” Kailāsa gives pleasure (ramaṇam) to the wives of the perfected beings, who play there with their husbands.
Personal Guidance
Waterfalls and caves — sound and silence side by side — host the practice of mystics and their consorts. A real spiritual environment makes room both for vibrant flow and for hidden depth.
Reflection Questions
- Which do I need more of right now: outward flow or interior cave?
- Where in my week is there a literal cave — a private place for unobserved practice?
