Relevant reference may be made to the saying of the saint, “Like the waters in the mid sea on the full-moon day filling the core of mind to over-flowing and beggaring all description He ordained Ambrosia to collect in each hair-root of my body!" (3:168-170). There seems to be neither continuity of thought nor is there any reference to death in this decad(24). This decad is one of personal devotion and complete surrender seeking refuge in Him. The content of the sub-title--Assessing ripeness or Maturity--may be seen perhaps in the ripe devotees gaining eternal Bliss at His Feet and in the gushing of grace-filled Ambrosia in the body of the saint(10).
