Here I do not speak in a partisan spirit, but merely state the view of the Vedas and PurŒ˜as as well as of the saints. A woman is never enamoured of another woman’s beauty : this, O enemy of the serpents, is a strange phenomenon. MŒyŒ and Bhakti (Devotion), mark me, both belong to the feminine group, as everyone knows. Again, Bhakti is beloved of Ýr¶ RŒma (the Hero of Raghu’s line); while poor MŒyŒ is a mere dancing girl. The Lord of the Raghus is well-disposed towards Bhakti; hence MŒyŒ is terribly afraid of her. Nay, MŒyŒ shrinks at the very sight of the man in whose heart ever abides unobstructed the peerless and guileless spirit of Devotion, and cannot wield her authority over him. Knowing this, sages who have realized the Truth solicit Bhakti, which is the fountain of all blessings. (1—4)
