Do.: muni jehi dhyåna na påvahiÚ neti neti kaha beda,
kæpåsi≈dhu soi kapinha sana karata aneka binoda.117(A).
umå joga japa dåna tapa nånå makha brata nema,
råma kæpå nahiÚ karahiÚ tasi jasi nikevala prema.117(B).
That Ocean of compassion, whom sages are unable to catch even in meditation
and whom the Vedas describe only in negative terms such as ìNot that, not that,î
amused himself with the monkeys in diverse ways. Umå, (continues Lord ›iva,) practice
of Yoga (concentration of mind), Japa (muttering of prayers), charity and penance,
performance of sacrifices, fasting and other religious observances fail to evoke ›r∂
Råmaís compassion to the same degree as unalloyed devotion does. (117 A-B)

Having thus secured raiment and jewels, the bears and monkeys adorned their
person with the same and appeared before the Lord of the Raghus. The Lord of Kosala
laughed again and again to see all the monkeys, a motley host indeed. The Lord of the
Raghus showered His grace on all by casting a look at them, and spoke to them in
endearing terms: ìIt was through your might that I succeeded first in killing Råvaƒa and
then in crowning Vibh∂aƒa. Now return all of you to your several homes; keep your
thought fixed on Me and fear none.î The monkeys were all overcome with affection to
hear these words and reverently replied with joined palms: O Lord, whatever You say
well becomes of You. But we get mystified on hearing Your words. You are the
Sovereign of all the three spheres, O Lord of the Raghus; knowing our humble state You
took us under Your protection. But we are overwhelmed with shame to hear such words
from the lips of our Master (Yourself). Can a swarm of mosquitoes ever help GaruŒa
