spoke in mellifluous accents as follows: ìYou are indeed blessed and worthy of
applause, O daughter of the mountain-king; there is no such benefactor as you. You
have asked Me to repeat the history of the Lord of Raghus, which is potent enough to
sanctify all the spheres even as the Ga∆gå purifies the whole world. You are full of love
for the feet of the Hero of Raghuís race; You have put questions to Me only with an eye
to the good of the world.î (1ó4)

ìBy the blessing of Råma, O Pårvat∂, not even in dream can grief, infatuation,
doubt or error enter your mind, so far as I can judge.î (112)

ìYet you have expressed the same old doubts again, so that all those who repeat
or hear this account may be benefited thereby. The ears of those who have never heard
the stories of ›r∂ Hari are no better than snake-holes. The eyes of those who have not
blessed them with the sight of saints are as good as the sham eyes in a peacockís tail.
The heads that bow not at the soles of ›r∂ Hari or of oneís preceptor are just like bitter
pumpkins. Those who have cherished not in their heart the spirit of devotion to ›r∂ Hari
are as good as dead, though living. The tongue that does not sing the praises of Råma
is just like the tongue of a frog. The heart which does not rejoice to hear the tales of ›r∂
Hari is hard as adamant and cruel indeed. Hear, O Girijå, the exploits of ›r∂ Råma, which
prove beneficial to the gods and mystify the demons.î (1ó4)
