daughter (Sat∂). During those very days, with a view to relieving the burden of the earth,
›r∂ Hari had descended in the line of king Raghu. Renouncing His right to the Throne at
the word of His father (Da‹aratha), the immortal Lord was wandering in the DaƒŒaka
forest in the garb of an ascetic. (1ó4)
