ìHe who without guile in thought, word and deed does service to the Bråhmaƒas
(the very gods on earth), wins over Brahmå, ›iva, Myself and all other divinities. (33)

ìA Bråhmaƒa, even though he curse you, beat you or speak harsh words to you,
is still worthy of adoration: so declare the saints. A Bråhmaƒa must be respected, though
lacking in amiability and virtue; not so a ›µudra, though possessing a host of virtues and
rich in knowledge.î The Lord instructed Kabandha in His own cult ( the cult of Devotion)
and was delighted at heart to see his devotion to His feet. Having regained his original
form (that of a Gandharva ) he bowed his head to the lotus feet of ›r∂ Råma (the Lord
of Raghus) and ascended to the heaven. Having conferred on him his own (Gandharva)
state the beneficent Råma repaired to the hermitage of ›abar∂*. When ›abar∂ saw that
›r∂ Råma had called at her abode, she recalled the words of the sage (Mata∆ga)† and
was glad of heart. With lotus-like eyes, long arms, a tuft of matted hair adorning their
* ›abar∂ was known by the name of the wild tribe (›abaras) to which she belonged. Though low-born,
she had already acquired some celebrity for her piety and devotion; hence the poet has chosen to call her
abode a hermitage ( a name generally applied to the abode of sages and hermits). This can easily serve as
an illustration of the catholicity of the great Hindu religion, which, though rigid in social matters, does not fail
to give proper recognition to individual merit and virtue. The whole of this episode is a great eye-opener in this
respect.
† From other sources it can be gathered that the sage, who was ›abar∂ís own Guru, had predicted to
her, on the eve of his demise long before, that the Lord would visit her. It is this prediction of the sage that has
been referred to above.
