Uttar Kaanda
210 - Kakabhusundi narrates the story of his previous lives and tells Garuda the glory of the Kali age
Chaupais
Description
Seeing this childish play and recalling that glory (which I had seen inside the Lord's belly) I lost consciousness of my body, and crying : "Save me, save me, O Protector of the devotees in distress !" dropped to the ground. No other word came to my mouth. When the Lord saw me overpowered with love, He immediately checked the power of His Maya. The Lord, who is so merciful to the afflicted, placed His lotus hand on my head and relieved me of all sorrow. The gracious Sri Rama, the delight of His servants, rid me of my deep-rooted error. As I reflected on His former glory my mind was flooded with joy. Seeing the Lord's loving kindness to His devotees my heart began to throb with profuse love. With eyes full of tears and joined palms and every hair on my body standing erect, I then made supplication to Him in many ways.
