> 4&5. Ritviks said:— Mayest thou be pleased, O most worshipful one, to accept the worship which we, thy attendants can afford! we are but taught only this \*Namo Namah\*, (bow to thee, bow to thee); which mortal man, whose mind is occupied by the world of Prakriti and gunas and who is incapable, could hope to fully explain the nature of the Supreme Ruler of Prakriti and Purusha by means of name, colour or form belonging to the later and grosser creations; except talking about a few of His innumerable excellent attributes, which remove all the sin of all people?
