The vulture now recovered himself and spoke as follows: “Listen, RŒma, the allayer of the fear of transmigration: it was the ten-headed RŒva˜a, my lord, who reduced me to this plight; it was the same wretch who carried off Janaka’s daughter. He tree in heaven, (15) a goad, (16) a flag, (17) a crown, (18) the discus ( SudarÜana), (19) a throne, (20) the staff of Yama (the god of death), (21) a chowrie, (22) an umbrella, (23) a human figure and (24) a wreath of victory (placed by a bride round the neck of the suitor of her choice); while those borne on the right sole are: (1) the river Sarayµu, (2) a cow’s hoof, (3) the earth, (4) a pitcher, (5) a small flag, (6) a Jambu fruit (the black plum), (7) the crescent, (8) a conchshell, (9) a ¤a¢ko˜a ( a figure consisting of a pair of triangles intersecting each other), (10) a triangle, (11) a mace, (12) a J¶va or the individual soul (represented by a point illustrating its atomic size), (13) Vindu ( a point) and (14) Ýakti ( represented by a semi-circle and forming the base of the Vindu), (15) a reservoir of nectar, (16) three horizontal lines like the folds of the belly, (17) a fish, (18) the full-moon, (19) a lute, (20) a flute, (21) a bow, (22) a quiver, (23) a swan and (24) an ornament for the head of a lady. It should be remembered here that Ýr¶ S¶tŒ also bears the same marks in Her soles, with this difference that the marks on Ýr¶ RŒma’s right sole are borne by S¶tŒ on Her left and vice-versa. took Her away, holy sir, to the south while she kept screaming loudly as an osprey. I have survived, my lord, only to behold You, my life now is about to depart, O fountain of mercy.” Said Ýr¶ RŒma, “Live yet more, father.” He, however, replied with a smile on his countenance, “He whose very name, so declare the Vedas, redeems the most depraved soul even if it appears on his lips at the moment of his death, is present before me in a visible form ! What more is wanting now, for which I should retain my body any longer?” With His eyes full of tears the Lord of Raghus replied, “Dear father, you have attained to an enviable state by virtue of your own noble deeds. Nothing is difficult of attainment in this world to those who have others’ interests at heart. Casting off your body, dear father, proceed now to My divine abode. What shall I give you, when you have all your desires already accomplished ? (1—5)
