The world was seized with terror and a voice was heard in the air extolling the enormous strength of Lakƒma˜a’s arm: “Who can tell, dear child, nay, who even knows your might and glory? But before doing anything one must judge whether it is right or wrong; then everyone would approve of it. They who act impulsively and repent afterwards are anything but wise: so declare the Vedas and the sages.” On hearing this voice from heaven Lakƒma˜a felt abashed; but both Ýr¶ RŒma and S¶tŒ addressed him kindly and politely: “What you have said, dear Lakƒma˜a, is sound wisdom; the intoxication of kingly power is the worst of all. But of those rulers who have tasted it they alone lose their head who have never waited on an assembly of saints. As for Bharata, I tell you, Lakƒma˜a, in the whole of God’s creation I have never seen or heard of anyone so good as he.” (1—4)
