parents, preceptor and brothers. Pitiable in everyway is he who harms others, cherishes
his own body and is exceedingly heartless. And pitiable in every respect is he who is
not sincerely devoted to ›r∂ Hari. The lord of Kosala is not worth grieving for, his glory

celestials) and the guardians of the quarters, all sing praises of King Da‹aratha. (1ó4)
