Then Gargi Vakaknavi asked. `Yagnavalkya,' she said, `everything here is woven, like warp and woof, in water. What then is that in which water is woven, like warp and woof?' `In air, O Gargi,' he replied. `In what then is air woven, like warp and woof?' `In the worlds of the sky, O Gargi,' he replied. `In what then are the worlds of the sky woven, like warp and woof?' `In the worlds of the Gandharvas, O Gargi,' he replied. `In what then are the worlds of the Gandharvas woven, like warp and woof?' `In the worlds of Aditya (sun), O Gargi,' he replied. `In what then are the worlds of Aditya (sun) woven, like warp and woof?' `In the worlds of Kandra (moon), O Gargi,' he replied. `In what then are the worlds of Kandra (moon) woven, like warp and woof?' `In the worlds of the Nakshatras (stars), O Gargi,' he replied. `In what then are the worlds of the Nakshatras (stars) woven, like warp and woof?' `In the worlds of the Devas (gods), O Gargi,' he replied. `In what then are the worlds of the Devas (gods) woven, like warp and woof?' `In the worlds of Indra, O Gargi,' he replied. `In what then are the worlds of Indra woven, like warp and woof?' `In the worlds of Pragapati, O Gargi,' he replied. `In what then are the worlds of Pragapati woven, like warp and woof?' `In the worlds of Brahman, O Gargi,' he replied. `In what then are the worlds of Brahman woven, like warp and woof?' Yagnavalkya said: `O Gargi, Do not ask too much, lest thy head should fall off. Thou askest too much about a deity about which we are not to ask too much. Do not ask too much, O Gargi.' After that Gargi Vakaknavi held her peace.
