“Though as a woman I am not qualified to hear it, I am Your servant in thought, word and deed. Saints do not withhold even an esoteric truth wherever they find a man smitten with agony, and therefore qualified to receive it. I ask You with a heart sore distressed; be gracious enough to narrate the story of the Lord of Raghus. First tell me after a mature thought what makes the unqualified Brahma assume a qualified form. Then, my lord, relate the story of Ýr¶ RŒma’s descent, and tell me next the charming exploits of His childhood. Then let me know how He wedded Janaka’s daughter, S¶tŒ, and the fault for which He had to renounce His father’s kingdom later on. Then describe the innumerable deeds performed by Him while He lived in the forest; and further tell me, my lord, how He killed RŒva˜a. Then relate, O blissful Ýa˘kara, all the numerous sports that were enacted by Him after his coronation. (1—4)
