head like a crown and a garland of wild flowers hanging upon their breast, the two brothers
looked most charmingóthe one dark of hue and the other fair; ›abar∂ fell prostrate and
embraced their feet. She was so owerwhelmed with love that no words came to her lips.
Again and again she bowed her head at their lotus feet. Presently she look some water
and reverently laved their feet and then conducted them to a seat of honour. (1ó5)

Joining her palms she stood before Him; as she gazed upon the Lord her love
waxed yet more ardent. ìHow can I extol You, lowest in descent and the dullest of wit
as I am ? A woman is the lowest of those who rank as the lowest of the low. Of women
again I am the most dull-headed, O Destroyer of sins.î Answered the Lord of Raghus:
ìListen, O good lady, to My words I recognize no other kinship except that of Devotion.
Despite caste, kinship, lineage, piety, reputation, wealth, physical strength, numerical
strength of his family, accomplishments and ability, a man lacking in Devotion is of no
more worth than a cloud without water. Now I tell you the nine forms of Devotion; please
listen attentively and cherish them in your mind. The first in order is fellowship with the
saints and the second is marked by a fondness for My stories.
