“Hark, O GirijŒ: the Vedas and the Tantras have sung numerous charming and sinless exploits of Ýr¶ Hari. The cause of Ýr¶ Hari’s descent cannot be precisely stated. Listen, O sensible lady: Ýr¶ RŒma is beyond the grasp of intellect, mind or speech: such is my conviction. Yet, O charming lady, I tell you the reason as I understand it and even as the saints and sages, the Vedas and the PurŒ˜as have stated according to their intellectual level. Whenever virtue declines and vile and haughty demons multiply and work uniquity that cannot be told, and whenever BrŒhma˜as, cows, gods and earth itself are in trouble, the gracious Lord assumes various (transcendent) forms and relieves the distress of the virtuous.” (1—4)
