12. Dividing his essence, under the form of four Rāmas *viz.* Rāma and his three younger brothers, Viṣṇu had four bodies each endowed with inferior qualities. This king is however unique Viṣṇu with a complete body; he is modest and the foremost of men who are the repositories of qualities.

v1.c9.s64.59

It appears as if the king, who is cleverer than the husband of Śrī, announced himself as the suitor for the hands of Śrī as everybody could infer from the following qualities of the king *viz.* the intelligence of Mahādeva, the creative power of Brahmā, the eloquence of Bṛhaspati, the mercy of Buddha, and the beauty of Cupid, the son of Viṣṇu.¹

v1.c9.s64.60
