Net of Jewels ?

[Guest guest]

A friend asked me to research this -- so I thought I would ask the learned

members of this list:

 

Is there any text that mentions a net of jewels, where each jewel reflects

all the others? I've heard this net as a tool of Indra. The reason for

the net idea is as a scriptural reference for the recent holographic idea

of the universe, where every bit of the holograph reflects and contains all

the others. Any ideas about the text?

I am not sure of this information, but anyway nothing wrong in giving a

try:

 

I remember reading about it in the "vidyAranyeeyaM" books published by

Motilal Banarasidas. These books contain vivid commentary, on the

application part of certain vedic hymns, by Sage Vidyaranya. I think it

was at the context where Sage Lomasa's daughter invokes Lord Indra's

power in oder to get rid of the excessive hair that the got on her body.

 

I may be wrong Please feel free to correct me, as I do not have these

books at hand.

 

Regards, Madhava
