Do.: råmakathå suradhenu sama sevata saba sukha dåni,
satasamåja suraloka saba ko na sunai asa jåni.113.
ìLike the cow of plenty, the story of Råma bestows all blessings on those who
devote themselves to it; and the assemblages of saints are the various abodes of gods.
Knowing this, who would not listen to it?î (113)

ìThe story of Råma is the lovely clap of hand-palms which scares away the
birds of doubt. Even so the story of Råma is an axe to the tree of Kaliyuga (the
impurities of the Kali age); listen to it with reverence, O daughter of the mountain-king.
The charming names of ›r∂ Råma, as well as His virtues, stories, births and deeds
have all been declared by the Vedas to be beyond number. As there is no end to the
divine Råma, even so His stories, glory and virtues are also endless. Yet, seeing your
great love, I will tell them even as I have heard of them to the best of my intellectual
capacity. Umå, your inquiries are naturally winning and delightful and such as are
approved of by the saints; as for myself I am particularly pleased to hear them. But
there was one thing, Bhavån∂, which I did not like, although you uttered it under a spell
of delusion: you suggested that the Råma whom the Vedas extol and on whom the
sages contemplate is someone else!î (1ó4)

ìSuch words are spoken and heard by those vile men alone who are possessed
by the devil of infatuation, are impious and averse to the feet of ›r∂ Hari and know no
difference between truth and falsehood.î (114)
