A hundred-fold the bliss of Indra is the unit of joy of Brhaspati (the adviser and Guru of the Gods) and it is also the measure of the bliss of the Srotriya who has transcended all his desires. A hundred-fold the bliss of Brhaspati is the unit of joy of Prajapati (the father of creatures of the universe) and it is also the measure of the bliss of the Srotriya who has transcended all his desires. A hundred-fold the bliss of Prajapati is the unit of joy of Brahman which is in no way greater than the bliss of the Srotriya (one who is well versed in the Vedas) and who in his experience of the Reality is devoid of all desires.
