There stood Phoebus who speaketh from the tripod. He had bound up behind his loosely flowing hair. In the bronze he was naked, because Apollo knoweth how to make naked to them who enquire of him the true decrees of Fate, or because he appeareth to all alike, for King Phoebus is the Sun and his pure brilliancy is seen from afar.

"When one is completely cleansed of the impurities of lust and greed produced from the false identification of the body as 'I' and bodily possessions as 'mine,' one’s mind becomes purified. In that pure state he transcends the stage of so-called material happiness and distress." (Srimad Bhagavatam, 3.25.16)
