Ýr¶ RŒma, dear UmŒ, (says BhagavŒn Ýiva) is beyond the three Gu˜as (Sattva, Rajas and Tamas), though the lord of the animate and inanimate creation, and the inner controller of all. (By speaking as above) He demonstrated the miserable plight of earthly lovers and strengthened dispassion in the mind of the wise. Anger, lust, greed, pride and delusion, all these get eliminated through Ýr¶ RŒma’s grace. He who wins the favour of that divine player is never deluded by His jugglery. UmŒ, I tell you my own realization; the only thing real is worship of Ýr¶ RŒma, and the whole world is a dream. The Lord then repaired to the shore of the deep and beautiful lake known by the name of PampŒ. Its water was as limpid as the heart of saints and it had charming flights of steps on all its four sides. Beasts of various kinds drank of its water wherever they listed, as if there was a crowd of beggars ever present at the house of a generous man. (1—4)
