ìHear, O lord of the feathered kingdom, of the greatness of ›r∂ Råma (the Lord of
the Raghus). I recite to you according to the best of my lights a delightful story in this
connection. I shall also narrate to you the whole story as to how I fell a prey to delusion,
my lord. You, dear GaruŒa, are a favourite of ›r∂ Råma and fond of hearing ›r∂ Hariís
praises and a source of delight to me. I am, therefore, concealing nothing from you and
tell you a profound and charming secret. Hear of ›r∂ Råmaís innate disposition: He never
tolerates pride in His people. For pride is the root of metempsychosis and the cause of
all kinds of pain and every form of grief. Hence the All-merciful gets rid of it in His
extreme fondness for His servants, even as when a boil appears on the body of a child,
my lord, the mother gets it opened like one having a stony heart.î (1ó4)

Do.: jadapi prathama dukha påvai rovai båla adh∂ra,
byådhi nåsa hita janan∂ ganati na so sisu p∂ra.74(A).
timi raghupati nija dåsa kara harahiÚ måna hita lågi,
tulasidåsa aise prabhuhi kasa na bhajahu bhrama tyågi.74(B).
Although at first (while the boil is being cut open) the child experiences pain
and cries helplessly the mother minds not the childís agony, in her anxiety to see
the child cured. Even so, in the interest of the devotee himself, the Lord of the Raghus
takes away his pride. Forswearing all error, Tulas∂dåsa, why should you not adore
such a lord as this? (74 A-B)
