Janakaís Daughter (S∂tå) was overjoyed to hear this discourse and reverently
bowed Her head at the feet of Anasµuyå. The All-merciful then said to the sage, ìWith your
permission I would go to some other forest. Continue to shower your grace on me; and
knowing me to be your servant never cease loving me.î Hearing these words of the Lord,
who was a champion of virtue the enlightened sage lovingly replied, ìYou are the same
Råma ( the supreme Deity), the beloved of the desireless and the friend of the meek,
whose favour is sought by Brahmå (the Unborn), Lord ›iva, the sage Sanaka and all
other preachers (knowers) of the highest Reality; and yet you are addressing such polite
words to me. I now understand the wisdom of ›r∂ (Goddess Lakm∂), who chose You
(as Her Lord) to the exclusion of all other gods. How can He who is unequalled and
unsurpassed by anyone else be less amiable than He is! How can I say,ìYou may go
now, my lord? Tell me, my master, knowing as You do the hearts of all.î Having spoken
thus the sage kept gazing on the Lord, thrilling all over with emotion and his eyes flowing
with tears. (1ó5)

Thrilling all over with excess love, the sage rivetted his eyes on the Lordís lotus
face. He thought to himself,îWhat prayers did I mutter and what austerity did I perform that
I was enabled to behold with my own eyes the Lord who is beyond all knowledge and
transcends the three Guƒas as well as the senses and mind. It is through Japa (muttering
of prayers). Yoga (concentration of mind) and a host of religious observances that man
acquires devotion, which is incomparable ( as a means of God-Realization). So does
Tulas∂dåsa sing the all-holy exploits of ›r∂ Råma (the Hero of Raghuís line) day and night.
