ìFurther tell me, O merciful lord, wherefrom did the crow get this sacred and
delightful story? And also let me know how could You hear it, O Destroyer of Cupid:
for all this fills me with much inquisitiveness. GaruŒa, again, is highly enlightened and an
embodiment of virtues; moreover, he is a servant of ›r∂ Hari (being His own mount) and
lives very close to Him. Leaving a host of sages, wherefore did he approach a crow and
hear ›r∂ Råmaís story from him? Further let me know how the dialogue proceeded
between the crow and GaruŒa (the devourer of serpents), both of whom are devotees
of ›r∂ Hari.î Lord ›iva rejoiced to hear the artless and welcome speech of His Consort
(Gaur∂) and politely replied, ìYou are blessed indeed, O virtuous lady; your idea is holy,
and you possess not a little love for the feet of ›r∂ Råma (the Lord of the Raghus).
Therefore, listen to a most sacred story, which, when heard, puts an end to the delusion
of the whole universe, engenders faith in ›r∂ Råmaís feet and enables a man to cross
the ocean of worldly existence without any difficulty.î (1ó5)
