Translation: “Maya takes interest in indulging. What use would the purity of the cosmic essence be for us? If the illusion is lifted, would the world be as interesting? Would there by the mesmerizing story of life? This illusion is just a reflection of the cosmic spirit. She is the mother and you are the child. There is no existence without the illusion.” – Mankutimma - See more at: “Kaikeyi ruled the Kosala kingdom the way she wanted, with total independence because she amused the old king Dasharatha.
