Umå, (continues Lord ›iva,) the crow (Kåkabhu‹uƒŒi) rejoiced to hear GaruŒaís
words and replied with utmost affection : ìBlessed, blessed indeed is your intellect, O
enemy of serpents. Your question is very pleasing to me. On hearing your loving and
agreeable question I have been reminded of many previous births. I shall now narrate the
whole of my story at full length; dear GaruŒa, listen to it attentively with all reverence.
The muttering of prayers, austere penance, performing sacrifices, subjugation of the
mind and the senses, undertaking sacred vows, charity, dispassion, right judgment,
Yoga (union with God) and Realizationóthe fruit of all these is devotion to the feet of ›r∂
Råma (the Lord of the Raghus); without this no one can attain lasting peace. It was in
this body that I was blessed with devotion to ›r∂ Råma; hence it is so very dear to me.
Everyone naturally loves that through which one has attained oneís object. (1ó4)

So.: pannagåri asi n∂ti ‹ruti sa≈mata sajjana kahahiÚ,
ati n∂cahu sana pr∂ti karia jåni nija parama hita.95(A).

It is a sound maxim, O enemy of serpents, approved of by the Vedasóand the
saints too endorse itóthat love should be shown to the meanest creature if we come to
know it to be our greatest friend. Silk, for instance, is the product of a worm and from
it we have beautiful silken textiles. That is why everyone tends the worm like oneís own
life even though it is most impure. (95 A-B)
