A description of the experience
Samavedas – Book 08 Chapter 02, V Vishnu
Through all this world strode Vishnu
thrice his foot he planted,
and the whole
was gathered in his footstep’s dust.
Vishnu, the guardian,
he whom none deceiveth,
made three steps
thenceforth establishing his high decrees
Look ye on Vishnu’s works,
whereby the friend of Indra,
close allied,
Hath let his holy ways be seen
The princess evermore,
behold that loftiest place of Vishnu,
like an eye extended
through the heavens.
This, Vishnu’s station most sublime,
the sages, ever vigilant,
lovers of holy song,
light up
May the gods help and favour us,
out of the place whence Vishnu strode,
Over the back
and ridge of earth
