evamastu muni sana kaheu kæpåsi≈dhu raghunåtha,
taba nårada mana haraa ati prabhu pada nåyau måtha.42(B).
ì May the name RÅMA shine as the moon and the other names as so many stars
in the cloudless sky of Your devoteeís heart during the full-moon night of devotion to
You.î ìThe all-merciful Lord of Raghus replied to the sage, ìSo be it î Thereupon Nårada
felt much delighted at heart and bowed at the Lordís feet. (42 A-B)

Seeing the Lord of Raghus so highly pleased, Nårada spoke again in gentle tonesó
î Listen, O Råma: when You impelled Your Måyå (deluding potency) and infatuated me,
O Lord of Raghus, I wanted to marry. Why, then, did You not let me accomplish my
desire ?î ì Listen, O sage: I tell you with all the emphasis at My command that I always
take care of those who worship Me with undivided faith, even as a mother tends her child.
If an infant child runs to catch hold of fire or a snake, the mother rescues it by drawing it
aside. When, however, her son has grown up she loves him no doubt, but not as before.
The wise are like My grown up sons, while humble devotees are like My infant children.
A devotee depends on Me, while the former ( a wise man) depends on his own strength;
and both have to face enemies like lust and anger. Pondering thus the prudent adore Me
and never take leave of devotion even after attaining wisdom. (1ó5)
