UmŒ, (continues Lord Ýiva,) the crow (KŒkabhuÜu˜˛i) rejoiced to hear Garu˛a’s words and replied with utmost affection : “Blessed, blessed indeed is your intellect, O enemy of serpents. Your question is very pleasing to me. On hearing your loving and agreeable question I have been reminded of many previous births. I shall now narrate the whole of my story at full length; dear Garu˛a, listen to it attentively with all reverence. The muttering of prayers, austere penance, performing sacrifices, subjugation of the mind and the senses, undertaking sacred vows, charity, dispassion, right judgment, Yoga (union with God) and Realization—the fruit of all these is devotion to the feet of Ýr¶ RŒma (the Lord of the Raghus); without this no one can attain lasting peace. It was in this body that I was blessed with devotion to Ýr¶ RŒma; hence it is so very dear to me. Everyone naturally loves that through which one has attained one’s object. (1—4)
