Listen, O Sage

 Jai Sri Ram.

Listen, O Sage, I tell you will all emphasis at my command that I take care of those who worship me with undivided faith, even as if a mother tends her child if an infant child runs of fire or snake, the mother rescues it by drawing it aside, 

When, however, her son has grown up she loves him no doubt, but not as before, the wise are like my grown-up sons, while humble devotees are like my infant children, a devotee depends on me, while the former, a wise man, depends on his own strength and both have to face enemies like lust and anger, 

Pondering thus the prudent adore me and never take leave of my devotion even after attaining wisdom, lust greed, anger, and pride, constitute the most powerful army of ignorance but among them all the fiercest and the most troublesome is that incarnation of Maya, called woman, 

The woman is like a verbal season of the forest of ignorance, like the hot season she dries up all the ponds and lakes of Japa, austerity and penance including religious observances, again, lust, anger, pride, and jealousy are so many frogs as it were like the rainy season woman is the only agency that gladdened them all, even so, latent desires of vicious type are like a bed of lotuses, like the middle of winter, a woman who is the source of base sensuous pleasure flourishes when the close of winter in the shape of the woman appears, for owls in the shape of sins woman is a delightful night thich with darkness, even so reason, strength, virtue and truth are so many fishes as it were, and the woman, so declare the wise like a hook to catch him, A young woman is a root of all evils, source of torments and a mine of all woes, therefore, bearing in mind all that, O good sage, i prevented your marriage,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks, please
