ICENOPANISAD
preceding object of vision melts away ; the dual per-
ception is suspended for the time, and in its stead appears
Uma Haimavati, the glorious Knowledge,—the grace of the
God of Bhaktas and the Vidyagakti of Atman of the Advai-
tins—and through Her the Jiva realizes the Brahman
within itself as its very essence. It is also interesting to
note in this connection that the appearance of the Brahman
becomes possible only when devas are victorious over the
asuras,
i.e.,
when the animal propensities are completely
subjugated.
Interpreted in this way the story is an allegorical
presentation of the truth related in the first two parts
of the Upanisad.
