ì They blush to hear themselves praised but feel much delighted to hear othersí
praises. Even-minded and placid, they never abandon the right course. Guileless by
nature and loving, they are given over to prayer, austerity, control of the senses, selfdenial
and religious observances and undertake sacred vows. They are devoted to the
feet of their Guru, Lord Govinda (Viƒu) and the Bråhmaƒas. They are full of piety,
forgiving, friendly to all, compassionate, cheerful under all circumstances and sincerely
devoted to My feet. They are further characterized by dispassion, discretion, modesty,
knowledge of the truth relating to God as well as by a correct knowledge of the Vedas
and Puråƒas. They never take recourse to hypocrisy, pride or arrogance nor set their
foot on the evil path even by mistake. They are ever engaged in singing or hearing My
stories and are intent on doing good to others without any consideration. In short, O good
sage, the qualities of the saints are so numerous that they cannot be exhausted even
by ›åradå ( the goddess of speech) nor by the Vedas.î (1ó4)

ìNeither ›åradå nor ›ea could tell them!î Even as he heard this the sage Nårada
clasped the Lordís lotus feet. In this way the all-merciful Lord, the befriender of the meek,
recounted with His own lips the virtues of His devotees. Nårada bowed his head at the
Lordís feet again and again and left for the abode of Brahmå (the Creator). Blessed are
they, says Tulas∂dåsa, who, giving up all hopes, are steeped in love for ›r∂ Hari.
