PARVATHI, assuming the form of a parrot, intending to test the determination
of LAKSHMANA, questions him ; and LAKSHMANA, who was the master of his senses was happy to reply to her queries.
Parvathi:When a women full of fire and a man like a pot of ghee co - exist, whose mind not waver?
Lakshman:The mind of a man born of noble parentage, will forever be steadfast without any wavering.
Parvathi:Flowers, fruits and young women are beautiful. Whose mind not waver on seeing all the three together?
Lakshman:For one who has conquered his senses, and who regards other's wives as his own mother, even though he may be moving everywhere, his mind will not waver.
Parvathi:Whose mind will not waver when he sees the gentle - smiling woman bedecked with all ornaments, whose face resembles the lotus and who radiates the fragrance of a lotus?
Lakshman:One who is happy to serve at the lotus - feet of Mother Goddess and who always controles his mind, his mind will never waver.
Parvathi:Whose mind will not waver on seeing a beautiful lady with a slim waist and one whose husband is away and stays alone in the hermitage.
Lakshman:A pious minded person, who knows his brother's wife, the good natured daughter of King JANAKA as the Consort of Lord VISHNU, his mind will not waver.
Parvathi:KAUSIKA the great sage, who was the very embodiment of penance and determination, yielded on seeing the heavenly MENAKA, giving up his hard -earned penance . How does not your mind waver ?
Lakshman:Leaving my Wife, I have come to the forest with the sole purpose of serving my brother. So my mind does not waver.
Parvathi:How is it that your great mind is so steadfast, when there may be a momentary wavering when one often sees one's sister, mother or daughter alone?
Lakshman:I am seeing only the anklets and not seeing the armlets and other ornaments of SITA and am always meditating on Lord RAMA. Who can perturb my mind?
Lakshman continues:Just as a devotee who worship SIVA along with his Conort GAURI everday, can harbour no evil thoughts, so too, I am steadfast.
Lakshman:(praises RAMA)One who has the mark of the Conch on his left arm and the mark of the Discus on his right arm and one who wears the urdhava pundra marks on his forehead, for him there is no wavering.
Lakshman continues:One who is mind is filled by thoughts of the holy CAUVERY , SETU and GANGES by the good teacing of the acharya -s and whose mind constantly remembers the Lord of SRI, for a such a person there is no wavering.
Lakshman:One whose mind shines with the ASHTAKSHARA and DVAYA MANTRA along with CHARAMA SLOKA, for him there is no wavering.
Parvati Says :
I bow down to you, who have conquered your senses. I wanted to test you,having heard the story about your determination .
