“Yet you have expressed the same old doubts again, so that all those who repeat or hear this account may be benefited thereby. The ears of those who have never heard the stories of Ýr¶ Hari are no better than snake-holes. The eyes of those who have not blessed them with the sight of saints are as good as the sham eyes in a peacock’s tail. The heads that bow not at the soles of Ýr¶ Hari or of one’s preceptor are just like bitter pumpkins. Those who have cherished not in their heart the spirit of devotion to Ýr¶ Hari are as good as dead, though living. The tongue that does not sing the praises of RŒma is just like the tongue of a frog. The heart which does not rejoice to hear the tales of Ýr¶ Hari is hard as adamant and cruel indeed. Hear, O GirijŒ, the exploits of Ýr¶ RŒma, which prove beneficial to the gods and mystify the demons.” (1—4)
