ìYou are an omniscient knower of Truth, having reached beyond the darkness (of
ignorance), intelligent, amiable, straight in your dealings and a storehouse of wisdom,
dispassion and Realization. Above all you are a beloved servant of ›r∂ Råma (the Lord
of the Raghus). Yet wherefore did you get this form (of a crow)? Dear Sir, explain all this
to me clearly. Also tell me, my master, where did you get this lovely Lake of
›r∂ Råmaís exploits, O good bird? My lord, I have heard it from ›iva Himself that you
do not perish even during Mahåpralaya (the Great Dissolution when Brahmå himself
retires into the Lordís body after completing the 100 years of his existence). The divine
Lord ›iva would never utter an idle word and therefore my mind is in doubt. My lord, the
whole universe with all its animate and inanimate beings, including the Någas, human
beings and gods, is an intended victim of Death. The Time-Spirit, which destroys
countless universe, is ever mighty and irresistible.î (1ó4)

ìHow is it that the most formidable Time-Spirit has no power over you? Tell me,
my gracious lord, if it is a glory of spiritual insight or a feat of Yoga? O lord, my infatuation
and delusion disappeared the moment I visited your hermitage. Tell me in a loving spirit,
my lord, how did all this happen?î (94 A-B)
