A description of the experience
Samavedas – Book 09 Chapter 02, XIII Vena
They gaze on thee with longing in their spirit,
as on a strong winged bird that mounteth skyward;
On thee with wings of gold, Varuna’s envoy
the Bird that hasteneth to the home of Yama.
Erect, to heaven hath the Gandharva mounted,
pointing at us his many coloured weapons;
Clad in sweet raiment beautiful to look on,
for he, as light, produceth forms that please us.
When as a spark he cometh near the ocean,
looking with vulture’s eye as Law commandeth,
His lustre, joying in its own bright splendour,
maketh dear glories in the loftiest regions.
