1. Is it possible to be blessed with a service of rocking the Lord Hari – reclining on the couch of Sesha – the serpent – and to behold Him as the diamond-studded necklaces (on the chest of the Lord) sway (a) as Thumburu - King of celestial musicians, sage Narada and others perform exposition of the songs extolling the virtues of the Lord, (b) as fragrant malli flowers are showered on the Lord while sage AmbareeshSa and other great devotees chant Lord’s names, (c) as the celestial dancers with red bimba fruit like lips - having black braids - dance, (d) as Brahma – abiding in Lotus - and Indra – enemy of demon Paka, standing on both sides of the Lord, extol the list of appellations of the race, and (e) as the celestial damsels fan the Lord to the sweet chime of the bracelets in their hands? 2. Is it possible to be blessed with a service like this to behold the World’s treasure of beauty – (a) as the lustrous golden-hued garments on the emerald like body sparkle, (b) as the glow of rows of nails of the holy feet of the Lord puts to shame moon-lings, (c) as the holy anklet shine, (d) as diamond-studded ornaments shine in His arms, and (1) with pearl necklaces on the broad chest together with most appropriate dolphin shaped ear-rings, (2) with the curls of hair on the smiling face, (3) with the mirror-like cheeks, and (4) the sacred mark shining on the charming holy forehead? 3. Is it possible to be blessed with a service like this to behold in the mind to one’s heart’s content Lord Rama – (a) the upholder of Universe, (b) the terror of the enemies of celestials, (c) One beyond the three qualities, (d) One whose desires are accomplished, (e) who is of the form of the nature of consciousness, and (f) the abode of great virtues – (1) as extolling the Lord being beyond the capacity of even the sages devoid of the quality of inertia, they are stunned, (2) as the Lord is in audience beautifully on the superior golden cradle, (3) as Sita – bestower of fruits of desires of devotees – swells beholding Her consort, and (4) as this Thyagaraja - son of Sri Rama Brahma – rocks the cradle while he is singing?
