Baal Kaanda
16 - Sati's bewilderment, Sri Rama's divine glory and Sati's remorse
Chaupais
Description
On that very occasion Sambhu saw Sri Rama and excessive joy of an extraordinary type welled up in His heart. He feasted His eyes on that Ocean of Beauty; but He did not disclose His identity as He knew it was no appropriate occasion for the same. The Destroyer of Cupid, Siva, passed on exclaiming Glory to the Redeemer of the universe, who is all Truth, Consciousness and Bliss! As Siva went on His way with Sats, the all-merciful Lord was repeatedly thrilled with joy. When Sats beheld Sambhu in this state, a grave doubt arose in Her mind: Sarkara is a Lord of the universe Himself, and deserves universal adoration; gods, men and sages all bow their head to Him. Yet He made obeisance to this prince, referring to him as the Supreme Being who is all Truth, Consciousness and Bliss. He was enraptured to behold his beauty and felt an upsurge of emotion in His heart, which He is unable to control even to this moment! (1-4)
