At the very touch of His holy feet, which drive away sorrow, emerged AhalyŒ, a true embodiment of austerity. Beholding the Lord of Raghus, the delight of His servants, she stood before Him with joined palms. Her heart being overwhelmed with love, the hair on her body stood on their end and she was unable to utter a word. The most blessed AhalyŒ cleaved to His feet and tears streamed from both her eyes. Recovering herself she recognized the Lord and by the grace of Ýr¶ RŒma attained devotion to His feet. In a guileless speech she began to praise the Lord, “Glory to the Lord of Raghus, who is accessible through spiritual knowledge. I am an impure woman, while the Lord is able to sanctify the whole world and is the delight of His servants. O lotus-eyed enemy of RŒva˜a, You rid Your devotees of the fear of rebirth; therefore, I have taken refuge in You. Pray save me, save me. My consort (Gautama) did well in pronouncing a curse on me, and I have deemed it the greatest favour. I have feasted my eyes on Ýr¶ Hari (Yourself), who liberated from the bondage of worldly existence. Lord Ýa˘kara deems Your sight as the only blessing worth the name. Lord, I am very innocent of heart; I have only one request to make. I seek no other boon from You, my Master; I only crave that my mind may ever continue to enjoy the love of Your feet-dust even as a bee sucks the honey from a lotus. The merciful Lord Ýr¶ Hari placed on my head the same lotus feet from which issued the most holy Ga˘gŒ (the heavenly river)—which is borne by Ýiva on His head—and which are adored by BrahmŒ (the Creator).” Having thus praised Ýr¶ Hari and falling again and again at His feet Gautama’s consort (AhalyŒ) took leave of the Lord; and securing a boon, which she held most dear to her heart, she went to her husband’s abode full of joy.
