Gazing on ›r∂ Råmaís lotus face the eyes of the great sage reverently drank in
its beauty like bees. Blessed indeed was the birth of ›arabha∆ga! (7)

Said the sage,îListen, gracious Råma (the Hero of Raghuís line), the swan
disporting in the Månasa lake of Lord ›ivaís heart; I was about to leave for Brahmåís
abode when the report reached my ears that ›r∂ Råma (Yourself) was coming to the
forest. I have ever since watched the road day and night. My heart is now soothed at
the sight of my lord. I have accomplished nothing (to deserve Your grace); yet You have
shown Your grace to me knowing me to be Your humble servant. Really speaking,
however, You have done me no favour, my lord; You have only redeemed Your vow, O
Stealer of Your devoteesí hearts! For the sake of this humble servant remain here
(before my eyes) till I have quitted this body and meet You ( in Your own abode).î So
saying the sage offered to the Lord whatever practice of Yoga, sacrifices, Japa
(muttering of prayers), penance and fasting he had done, and received in return the boon
of Devotion. Having thus acquired the rare gift of Devotion the sage ›arabha∆ga
prepared a funeral pile and discarding all attachment from his heart ascended it. (1ó4)

ìConstantly abide in my heart, O Lord, with S∂tå and your younger brother (Lakmaƒa)
in Your qualified and embodied form swarthy as a dark cloud, O graceful Råma!î (8)
