English	16.5, 21: Persons bewildered by false ego, their own apparent strength, pride, lust, and anger. Māyādevī, goddess of illusion, stands at the bottom of the stairs enticing people toward her. Others move upward toward the light of pure spiritual consciousness and devotional service to Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa.
