“In the palace of the god Indra is a net, which is hung by some marvelous artisan in such a way that it extends infinitely in all directions. Each jewel in this net is clear and bright, and in each jewel are reflected all the other jewels in the net, infinite in number. In each of the reflected jewels are seen again all the others, and this goes on infinitely.”
