Baal Kaanda
28 - A dialogue between Siva and Parvati
Chaupais
Description
"O blissful Lord, if You are pleased with me and know me to be Your faithful servant, then, my Master, disperse my ignorance by repeating to me the various stories of the Lord of Raghus. Why should he who has his abode beneath a wish-yielding tree undergo the suffering born of want? Bearing this in mind, O Lord with the crescent on the forehead, dispel the great confusion of my mind. O Lord, the sages who discourse on the supreme Reality speak of Rama as the Brahma who has no beginning; Sesa and Sarada, as well as the Vedas and the Puranas, all sing praises of the Lord of Raghus. You too, O Subduer of Love, reverently repeat the word 'Rama' night and day. Is this Rama the same as the son of the King of Ayodhya or some other unborn, unqualified and imperceptible Being?"
