ì›r∂ Råma (the Lord of the Raghus), my lord, is compassionate to the humble (He
will surely forgive you). Even a tiger (the most ferocious of all beasts) will not devour a
man if he goes submissively before him. You have already accomplished all that you had
to do: you have conquered not only gods and demons but the whole animate and
inanimate creation. Holy men, my lord, have declared this maxim that a monarch should
retire to the forest in the fourth stage of his life. There, my spouse, you should adore Him
who is the creator, preserver and destroyer (of the universe). Renouncing all worldly ties,
my lord, worship the selfsame Hero of Raghuís line, who is fond of the suppliant. The
same Lord of the Raghus, the King of Kosala, whom the greatest of sages strive hard
to realize and for whom monarchs relinquish their throne and shed every attachmentó
it is He who has arrived here to shower His grace on you. If, my beloved, you accept
my advice, your fair and exceedingly holy renown shall spread through all the three
spheres.î (1ó4)

So saying she clasped him by the feet; and with eyes full of tears and trembling
in every limb she added, ìMy lord, worship ›r∂ Råma (the Lord of the Raghus) so that
my union with you may last till eternity.î (7)

Thereupon Råvaƒa lifted Mayaís daughter (Mandodar∂) and the wretch began
to harp on his own glory. ìListen, darling; you are haunted by idle fears. What warrior
