because you are a Bråhmaƒa, who is that gallant warrior in this world to whom I would
bow my head out of fear?î (283)

ìA god, a demon, a king or a body of warriors, whether My equal in strength or
more powerful than myselfóshould any of these challenge me to combat, I would
gladly fight with him, no matter if it is Death himself. For he who is born as a Katriya,
and is yet afraid of fighting, is a veritable wretch and has brought a slur on his lineage.
I tell you in my natural way and not by way of a tribute to my race: Raghuís
descendants do not tremble to meet in fight even Death. Such is the glory of the
Bråhmaƒa race that he who is afraid of you (Bråhmaƒas) is rid of all fear.î When he
heard these soft yet profound words of ›r∂ Råma, Para‹uråmaís mind was disillusioned.
ìO Råma, take this bow of Ramåís lord and draw it, so that my doubts may be cleared.î*
As Para‹uråma offered his bow it passed into Råmaís hands of its own accord, and
Para‹uråma felt amazed at this. (1ó4)

He then recognized ›r∂ Råmaís might and his whole frame was thrilled with joy and
his hair stood on end. Joining his palms together he addressed the following words to
›r∂ Råma, his heart bursting with emotion:ó (284)

* Para‹uråma had got this bow from God Viƒu Himself, who had told that when the Lord descended
on the earth in the form of ›r∂ Råma, his own lifeís work would have ended and the bow would pass into the
hands of ›r∂ Råma.
