ìTell me, my lord: are these two pretty boys the ornament of a sageís family or the
bulwarks of some royal dynasty? Or, is it that Brahma (the Absolute), whom the Vedas
describe in negative terms such as ëNot thatí (Neti), has appeared in a dual form? My
mind, which is dispassion itself in its natural form, is enraptured at their sight even as
the Cakora bird is transported with joy at the sight of the moon. Therefore, Sir, I earnestly
inquire of you: tell me the truth, my Lord; hide nothing from me. Deeply attached to them
at their very sight, my mind has perforce renounced the joy of absorption into Brahma.î
The sage smilingly answered, ìYou have spoken well, O king; your words can never be
untrue. Whatever living beings there are in this world, they all love these boys.î ›r∂ Råma
smiled within Himself on hearing these words. ìThey are the sons of King Da‹aratha, the
jewel of Raghuís race; the king has sent them for my cause. (1ó4)
