Sanatkumāra said:
To him speaking thus, the virtuous Śrī said to the very powerful one:
“For what reason, O mighty-armed one, do you not welcome me who am difficult to attain?” / 26
Rāma said:
“You are fickle, intoxicating, and impermanent, O fair one.
Therefore, I do not welcome you; stay far away from me! / 27
