The word Isa is very suggestive. Can absolute
deliverence be the reward of a momentary feeling of
self-surrender? Who can question the pleasure of

not give the best and if he does not give it quickest,
i.e., for the first asking.
Sloka 56: This sloka is grand and sweet. What
in the world will compare with the lovely thighs of
the Lord? The right thigh may compare with the
left and the left with the right. Urvasi, the best of
the celestial nymphs, is a creation of theirs. How
can Rambhas (plantain-stems) compare with them?
Sloka 63: The Lord's bosom is compared to

out from his most holy lips in his last moments
