Note 325 — Chapter XXVI · AN ACCOUNT OF PIRTHU AND THE CHURNING OF THE OCEAN.
Manmatha Nath Dutt translation
The esoteric meaning is:—The mount Mandara means true understanding; Payas means Jnana or knowledge and Oshadhis—bodily attachment. The meaning is that by means of true understanding we will drown bodily attachment in true knowledge.
