ìMy doubts have gone, now that I have heard the whole of ›r∂ Råmaís narrative.
And by your grace, O best of crows, I have developed devotion to ›r∂ Råmaís feet. A
mighty bewilderment possessed me when I saw the Lord bound in battle : ›r∂ Råma is
Knowledge and Bliss personified; how can He be embarrassed?î (68 A-B)

ìAs I found His ways so closely resembling those of a human being, a grievous
doubt arose in my soul. Now I regard that error of mine as a blessing and feel that the
All-merciful bestowed a favour on me (in the form of that error). For he alone who is
terribly oppressed with the heat of the sun can appreciate the blessing of an umbrageous
tree. Had I not thus fallen a prey to gross infatuation, how could it have been possible
for me to meet you, revered sir, and how could I get an opportunity to hear the charming
and most wonderful story of ›r∂ Hari that you have just sung in all its details. The Vedas,
the Tantras and the Puråƒas are at one on this point and so declare the Siddhas and
sages in unequivocal terms that the fellowship of genuine saints is only attained by those
whom ›r∂ Råma regards with favour. By ›r∂ Råmaís grace I have been blessed with your
sight and by your blessing, again, all my doubts have disappeared.î (1ó4)
