Having offered their praises the gods returned to their several abodes, when the Lord, the abode of the universe and the solace of all creation manifested himself.
The gracious Lord, who is compassionate to the lowly and the benefactor of Kausalya, appeared. The thought of his marvelous form, which stole the hearts of the sages, filled the mother with joy. His body was dark as a cloud, the delight of all eyes; in his four arms he bore His characteristics emblems a conch shell, a discus, a club and a lotus. Adorned with jewels and a garland of sylvan flowers and endowed with large eyes, the slayer of demon Khara was an ocean of beauty. Joining both her pals the mother said," O infinite Lord, how can I praise You. The Vedas as well as the Puranas declare you as transcending Maya, beyond attributes, above knowledge and beyond all measure. He who is sung by the Vedas and holy men as an ocean of mercy and bliss and the repository of all virtues, the same Lord of Lakshmi, the lover of his devotees, has reveled himself for my good. The Vedas proclaim that every pore of Your body contains multitudes of universes brought forth by Maya. That such a Lord stayed in my womb----- this amusing story staggers the mind of even men of wisdom." When the revelation came about the mother the Lord smiled; he would perform many a sportive act. Therefore he exhorted her by telling her the charming account of her previous birth so that she may love Him as her own child. The mothers mind was changed, she spoke again, " Give up this superhuman form and indulge in childish sport, which are so dear to a mother's heart the joy that comes from such sports is unequaled in every way. Hearing these words the all wise Lord of immortals became an infant and began to cry.
Those who sing these top verse says Tulasidas attain to the abode of the Lord.
