ìThen expound, my lord, the truth in the realization of which enlightened sages
remain absorbed. And thereafter discuss in detail the conceptions of Devotion, J¤åna or
Knowledge of the formless Absolute, Vij¤åna or the Knowledge of qualified Divinity with
and without form, and Dispassion. Over and above this, O Lord of purest understanding,
reveal to me the many other mysteries connected with Råma. And if there be anything
which I have omitted to ask, do not keep it back, my gracious lord. You are the preceptor
of all the three spheres, so declare the Vedas; what can other poor creatures know?î
›iva was glad at heart to hear these questions of Umå, naturally pleasing and guileless
as they were. All the exploits of Råma flashed on His mind; the hair on His body bristled
with rapture and His eyes filled with tears. The figure of ›r∂ Råma was reflected on the
mirror of His heart. This brought immense joy to ›iva, who is an embodiment of supreme
bliss Himself. (1ó4)

For an hour or so ›iva was lost in the ecstasy of meditation. He then recovered
Himself and thereafter began joyfully to tell the story of Råma. (111)

ìDue to lack of knowledge about ›r∂ Råma even the unreal passes for real, just
as ignorance about a rope leads us to mistake it for a snake. Even so the moment we
know Him the world of matter vanishes, just as the delusion of a dream disappears as
soon as we wake up. Him do I reverence in the form of a Child, the repetition of whose
Name brings all kinds of success within our easy reach. May that Home of bliss and
Bane of woe take compassion on meóHe who sports in the courtyard of king
Da‹aratha.î After thus paying homage to Råma, the Slayer of the demon Tripura joyfully
