Description
Thus Sri Hari's births and exploits are many; they are all charming, delightful and marvellous. In every cycle of creation the Lord manifests Himself and enacts lovely sports of various kinds; and the great sages have on each such occasion sung His story in most sacred strains, relating wonderful anecdotes of diverse kinds, hearing which the wise marvel not. Infinite is Sri Hari and infinite are His stories; each saint sings and hears them in divergent ways. The lovely sports of Ramacandra cannot be sung even in crores of Kalpas.This episode, O Bhavani, has been narrated by me in order to show that even enlightened sages are deluded by Sri Hari's Maya. The Lord is sportive and a friend of the suppliant; He is easy to serve and rids one of all sorrows.
