Here He instructed the sages in wisdom and there He extolled the virtues of Sri Rama. Though passionless and all-wise, the Lord was smitten with the pangs of separation from His devotee (Sats). In this way a considerable time elapsed. Devotion to the feet of Sri Rama was ever budding in His heart. When Sri Rama saw the selfdiscipline and affection of Sarkara and the indelible stamp of devotion on His heart, the merciful Lord, who fully recognizes services rendered to Him, and is a mine of beauty and amiability and an embodiment of great splendour, appeared before Sarkara and extolled Him in ways more than one. Who else than You can accomplish such a vow? He said, Sri Rama admonished Him in many ways and told Him of the birth of Parvati. The Lord in His infinite compassion narrated at full length the most pious doings of Girij. (1-4)
