Think not, lord of the immortals, to injure any servant of Raghubar’s, Unless you would suffer the pain of disgrace in this world, sorrow in the next, and a daily increasing burden of regret.
Hearken to my advice, king of the gods: Râma has the greatest love for his servants; he is pleased at any service done to a servant, while enmity to a servant is the height of enmity to himself. Although he is ever the same, without either passion or anger, and contracts neither sin nor merit, virtue nor defect; and though he has made fate the sovereign of the universe, and every one has to taste the fruit of his own actions, still he plays at variations according as hearts are faithful or unfaithful. Though without attributes or form, illimitable and impassible, Râma has yielded to the love of his followers and taken a material form. He has always regarded the wishes of his servants, as the Vedas and Purânas and gods and saints bear witness. Knowing this, refrain from naughtiness and show fitting devotion.
