Hearing those words, Cupid instantly went to Himâchala in company with His wife Rati and the companion Spring Season Arriving there, He began to think of the means for the accomplishment of His mission He thought to Himself that the minds of the great who are engaged with immoveable determination in doing great works and who are energetic, are hard to be shaken He also thought that it would be better to move His mind first, and thereby victory would be certain, the work of the mission would be achieved by the shaking of his firm resolution Before, many persons accomplished their ends by changing the minds of the opposite party Unless jealousy be aroused, anger does not come in, and without anger, envy, the root of all attachment, does not set in He said to Himself, "How should I direct fickleness, jealousy and anger to disturb His mind? Those, who are enduring and contented, do not know my influence, but a doubtful mind is sure to be changed A doubtful mind is always restless, then the beginnings of success are seen and great obstruction is placed I shall, therefore, interfere with the asceticism of that fixed minded Śiva I shall place tempting things before the Lord'—219 226
