He walks without feet, hears without ears, and performs his many actions even without hands; he enjoys all tastes without a mouth (palate) and is a most clever speaker even though devoid of speech.


He touches without a body, sees without eyes, and catches all odours even without a nose. So marevellous in all ways are his actions that one finds his greatness utterly beyond description.


He who is thus sung by the Vedas and the wise and whom the sages contemplate is no other than that son of Dasharath who loves his votaries, the king of Ayodhya, the Blessed Lord.


When I see any creature dying at Kashi, it is by the night of his (Rama’s) ame that I rid it of all sorrow (liberate it). He is my lord Raghubara, the master of all creation, animate as well as inanimate, who reads all hearts.


If men even involuntarily repeat his name, the sins committed by them in many previous existences are burnt away, and those who devoutly meditate upon him are able to cross the ocean of mundane existence as if it were a puddle (a mere hollow made by the hoof of a cow).


‘Rama is no other than that Supreme Spirit, Bhavani, and your assertion that he is subject to delusion is most improper. The moment a man entertains such a doubt in his mind, his knowledge, detachment and all other virtues are lost.’


When Parvati heard Shiva’s enlightening words, the whole structure of her sophistry fell to pieces. Attachment and devotion to Raghupati’s feet sprang in her heart and her shocking incredulity passed away.
