ìThe fourfold rewards of life (viz., religious merit, worldly riches, sensuous enjoyment
and Liberation) are easily attainable through Your service, O bestower of boons, beloved
of ›iva (the Slayer of Tripura)! All who adore Your lotus feet, O Shining One, attain
happiness, be they gods, men or sages. You know well my heartís longing since You
ever dwell in the town of every heart. That is why I have refrained from openly declaring
it.î With these words Videhaís Daughter clasped the feet of the image. Bhavån∂ was
overcome by Her meekness and devotion; the wreath on the image dropped and the idol
smiled. S∂tå reverently placed the divine gift on Her head. Gaur∂ís heart was filled with
delight while She spoke, ìHear, S∂tå, my infallible blessing: Your heartís desire shall be
accomplished. Nåradaís words are ever faultless and true; the suitor on whom Your
heart is set shall, indeed, be Yours. (1ó4)
