Hanumån in particular. The Lord of the Raghus then retired to His own palace. In this
way He enacted some new sport everyday. The sage Nårada paid frequent visits and
sang ›r∂ Råmaís holy exploits. After witnessing fresh deeds everyday,the sage returned
to Brahmåís abode and recited the whole story there. Vira¤ci (the Creator) felt overjoyed

brothers extolled Nårada : and, though absorbed in Brahma (the Infinite), the sages forgot
their Samådhi (absorption) on hearing the hymn of praise to the Lord and listened to it
with reverence, supremely qualified as they were. (1ó4)

(abstraction). Truly theirs must be a heart of stone, who take no delight in the stories
of ›r∂ Hari. (42)

One day, invited by the Lord of the Raghus, the preceptor (Vasi¢ha) and other
leading Bråhmaƒas and all the other citizens assembled (in the royal court). When the
preceptor and the other sages and Bråhmaƒas as well as all other gentlemen had taken

them in the following words:ó ìListen to My words, citizens all: I am not going to say
