On hearing the sage’s words, imbued as they were with love, Ýr¶ RŒma felt abashed and smiled within Himself. VŒlm¶ki too smiled and spoke to Him again in words as sweet as though they were steeped in nectar: “Listen, RŒma: I tell You now the places where You should abide with S¶tŒ and Lakƒma˜a. The heart of those whose ears are, like the ocean, constantly replenished with a number of lovely streams in the shape of Your stories but know no surfeit, shall be Your charming abode. Again, the heart of those whose eyes long to see You even as the CŒtaka bird longs to see the rain-cloud and, disdaining like the same bird rivers, oceans and big lakes, derive satisfaction from a drop of Your rain-like beauty—it is their heart alone which shall serve as Your delightful home, where You and Your younger brother (Lakƒma˜a) and S¶tŒ may take up Your abode.” (1—4)
