ADIGI SUKHAMU ” (Madhyamàvati)

Who has enjoyed pleasures by asking you for them, Oh

Primordial Power and Lord of the Universe ? Destroyer of

sins! i

Sità, who was so closely attached to you, had to go to

the forests.

When Sürpanakà expressed her desire to marry you,

you had her nose cut off instantaneously.

When Narada wanted to know the Lord's Maya, he was

himself transformed into a woman:

When Dürvàsa asked for food, he not only lost his

hunger, but became dull with a full stomach, loathing food.

When Dévaki desired to enjoy the plays and pranks

of a son, you let Yasoda have it.

When gópis desired to have you as their Lord, you

made them leave their own husbands. Oh! What a

mystery! Your ways are now clear to me.

You yourself must take compassion on me.
