Though all know the Lordís greatness as such, yet none has refrained from
describing it. The Vedas have justified it thus; they have variously sung the glory of
remembering the Lord, God, who is one, desireless, formless, nameless and unborn,
who is Truth, Consciousness and Bliss, who is supreme effulgence, all-pervading and
all-formedóit is He who has performed many deeds assuming a suitable form. That He
has done only for the good of His devotees; for He is supremely gracious and loving to
the suppliant. He is excessively fond of His devotees and treats them as His own; He
has never frowned at him to whom He has once shown His favour. The restorer of what
has been lost, the befriender of the poor, the Lord of Raghus is a straightforward and
powerful master. Knowing thus, the wise sing the glory of ›r∂ Hari and thereby hallow and
bring supreme reward to their speech. It is on this strength (the supreme efficacy of
remembering the Lord and the potency of His grace) that I shall sing the virtues of the
Lord of Raghus, bowing my head to the feet of ›r∂ Råma. Sages have sung the glory
of ›r∂ Hari in the past; it will be easy for me to follow that very path. (1ó5)

If kings get bridges constructed over big rivers, which are too broad, even the
tiniest ants cross them without exertion. (13)
