nay, everyone acknowledged the services and benefits received from others and there
was no guileful prudence. (1ó4)

Listen, O king of the birds, (continues Kåkabhu‹uƒŒi,) during ›r∂ Råmaís reign
there was not a creature in this world, animate or inanimate, that was liable to any of the
sufferings attributable to time, past conduct, personal temperament and character. (21)

›r∂ Råma (the Lord of the Raghus), who reigned in Ayodhyå, was the undisputed
sovereign of the entire globe girdled by the seven oceans. This lordship (of the entire
globe) was nothing great for Him every hair-hole in whose (Cosmic) body contains
myriads of universes. To him who has realized such infinite greatness of the Lord,
even this description (viz., to speak of Him as the sovereign of the entire globe) will
sound highly disparaging. But even those, O king of the birds, (continues Kåkabhu‹uƒŒi)
who have realized the greatness of the Lord (as indicated above) have turned round
and conceived a fondness for this story of the Lord. For the immediate perception of
such exploits of the Lord is the reward of knowing His infinite greatness; so declare
the greatest of sages that have subdued their senses. The happiness and prosperity
of ›r∂ Råmaís reign were more than even ›ea (the serpent-god) and ›åradå (the
goddess of learning) could describe. All were generous and all beneficent; men and
women alike were devoted to the feet of the Bråhmaƒas. Every husband was pledged
to a vow of monogamy and the wives too were devoted to their husband in thought,
word and deed. (1ó4)
