he says &quot;On obtaining That&quot;---and there he means

&apos;having gained&apos; and &apos;Prapya&apos; &apos;having attained&apos;. Now
it is &quot;having known.&quot;</p>
<p><bold>Matto Bhavati:</bold> The devotee gets thoroughly in-
toxicated with the divine love. He spends his days
and nights in singing the praises of the Lord and in
hearing His glory. He remains merged in the Lord,
also he is not conscious of the external world.</p>
