The sage saw the entire universe: the sky, heavens and earth, the stars, mountains, oceans, great islands, continents, the directions, the saintly and demoniac living beings, the forests, countries, rivers, cities, mines, the agricultural villages, cow pastures, and the occupational and spiritual activities of the various social divisions. He also saw the basic elements of creation along with all their by-products, as well as time itself, which regulates the progression of countless ages within the days of Brahmā. In addition, he saw everything else created for use in material life. He saw a bright world in daylight. He (saḥ) saw a bright world (avabhāsitam) in daylight (divā for divasaḥ).
