The king then called Vasiƒ¢ha and sent him to Ýr¶ RŒma’s apartments for tendering opportune advice. The moment the Lord of Raghus, Ýr¶ RŒma, heard of the Guru’s arrival, He repaired to the door and, bowed His head at his feet. Reverently offering him water to wash his hands with He ushered the sage and paid him honour by worshipping him in the sixteen prescribed modes.* Then clasping his feet with S¶tŒ, Ýr¶ RŒma spoke with His lotus palms joined in prayer, “A master’s visit to his servant’s house is the root of all blessings and a panacea for all evils; yet it would have been more fitting, my lord, for the master to have lovingly sent for the servant and charged him with a duty; for such is the right course. Since, however, my lord has laid aside his authority and showed his affection to me (by calling on me) my house has been hallowed today. I am ready to do what I am bid, holy sir; for a servant is benefited only by serving his master.” (1—4)
