Hear, O daughter of the mountain-king, another reason why the unbegotten,
unqualified and formless Brahma became king of Ayodhyå. I shall relate at length the
marvellous story connected with it. The Lord whom you saw roaming in the forest with
His brother (Lakmaƒa) in the garb of hermits, and whose doings drove you mad in the
form of Sat∂ to such an extent that the shadow of that madness haunts you even to this
dayóhear His exploits, which serve as a cure for the disease of delusion. The sportive
deeds that were performed by the Lord in that birth, I shall relate them all to the best of
My talents. Hearing ›a∆karaís words, O Bharadvåja, Umå blushed and smiled with love.
›iva (who has a bull emblazoned on His standard) then began to relate the cause of the
Lordís descent on that particular occasion. (1ó4)

I proceed to tell you all about it, O Bharadvåja; listen attentively. The story of ›r∂
Råma wipes out all the impurities of the Kali age, brings forth all blessings and is most
charming. (141)

Swåyambhuva* Manu had ›atarµupå as wife; of them was born this human race,
peerless in Godís creation. The piety and conduct of the pair were excellent; the
standard of morality set up by them is sung by the Vedas even to this day. Their son
* So-called because he was born of Swayambhµu (the self-born Brahmå). It is stated in the Puråƒas
that the Creator divided himself into two halves, one of which was a male and the other a female. The former
was known by the name of Swåyambhuva and the other as ›atarµupå. He was the first of the fourteen Manus
who rule over Godís creation in succession, each holding office for 71.1/2 Caturyugas or repetitions of the four
Yugas.
