In that Kaliyuga I was born in the city of AyodhyŒ and got the body of a ݵudra (a member of the labouring and artisan classes). A devotee of Lord Ýiva in thought, word and deed, I was a reviler of other gods and conceited too. Intoxicated with the pride of pelf, I was most loquacious and savage of purpose and carried an enormous load of hypocrisy in my heart. Even though I dwelt in the capital of Ýr¶ RŒma (the lord of the Raghus), I failed to know even an iota of its glory then. Now I have come to know the greatness of AyodhyŒ. Thus has it been sung by the Vedas, Tantras and PurŒ˜as that whoever has resided in AyodhyŒ in any birth whatsoever surely becomes a votary of Ýr¶ RŒma. A man comes to know the glory of AyodhyŒ only when Ýr¶ RŒma, bow in hand, takes up His abode in his heart. That particular age of Kali was terrible indeed, O enemy of serpents; every man and woman was given over to sin. (1—4)
