Beneath Rasātala is another planetary system, known as Pātāla or Nāgaloka, where there are many demoniac serpents, the masters of Nāgaloka, such as Śaṅkha, Kulika, Mahāśaṅkha, Śveta, Dhanañjaya, Dhṛtarāṣṭra, Śaṅkhacūḍa, Kambala, Aśvatara and Devadatta. The chief among them is Vāsuki. They are all extremely angry, and they have many, many hoods — some snakes five hoods, some seven, some ten, others a hundred and others a thousand. These hoods are bedecked with valuable gems, and the light emanating from the gems illuminates the entire planetary system of bila-svarga. — Srimad-Bhagavatam 5.24.30

P.1 (overleaf) The earliest nature print, on a leaf inserted into a manuscript of Dioscorides copied in Anatolia or northern Syria by Bihnam the Christian, in AD 1228. Whether this leaf is contemporary or was inserted later is still debated by specialists, and no other examples of nature printing from the Islamic world have yet come to light.

Thank you. But look at my tumblr, don’t look at me

Thank you. I don’t have make up tips really. Most of the time I have that winged eyeliner and red lipstick. Whenever I decide to put eyeshadow, I love Arabic inspired make up. But why do you talk to me anonymously?

I have heard that before but.. I am always in mood to have an intelligent conversation. Even if it is about make up, it can be fun. I just hate stupidity, that’s all.

I have one photo of me here and + the avatar (if that counts). That’s all. I don’t upload personal photos here to hear people admiring and boosting my ego. And thank you.
