The Vedas are compared to the ocean (of milk); spiritual wisdom plays the role of Mount Mandara; while saints are the gods who churn out nectar in the form of the sacred legends; and Devotion represents its sweetness. Using Dispassion as a shield 1086 * ÝR” RMACARITAMNASA* (for self-defence) and slaying with the sword of wisdom enemies in the form of vanity, greed and infatuation, it is Devotion to Ýr¶ Hari that triumphs; ponder and realize this, O king of the birds. (120 A-B)
