“From Brahma Puran
ब्राह्मीं च वैष्णवीं भद्रां, षड्-भुजां च चतुर्मुखीम्।
त्रि-नेत्रां खड्ग-त्रिशूल-पद्म-चक्र-गदा-धराम्॥
पीताम्बर-धरां देवीं, नानाऽलंकार-भूषिताम्।
तेजः-पुञ्ज-धरीं श्रेष्ठां, ध्यायेद् बाल-कुमारिकाम्॥
Meditate on youthful Brahmi* and Vaishnavi* surely,
With six hands, four faces, three eyes gives safety,
With sword, trident, lotus, wheel, globe, mace be,
Greatest – yellow dressed, well decorated elegantly.”

“Don't think about what you've left behind" The alchemist said to the boy as they began to ride across the sands of the desert. "If what one finds is made of pure matter, it will never spoil. And one can always come back. If what you had found was only a moment of light, like the explosion of a star, you would find nothing on your return.”
