3Arjuna-the
first of 4Naranarayana duo once met with a devil doubt
With shape hideous and size monstrous it put his reason to rout
He was annoyed at the word gaining currency in the circles eilte
That 5Bhima's bhakti was superior to his and was talked with
delight.
"Bhima is a glutton and the pet of Morpheus, knows nothing except
Overeating and over sleeping, and devotes no time for beauty or deity
Besides united to a demo ness and begetting freaks, knows no concept
How then can he adore Him, nor gets absorbed ever in acts of piety.
Amn't
I chided 'ad infinitum' for over indulgence in prayers to God
Isn't my preoccupation with elaborate rituals like 6Japa and
offerings
Mimicked by many and admired very often, even by the false men of God
How then mine is found inferior to Bhima's, who makes no offerings.
He could not console himself tried however, much, nor knew the truth
Constant thinking woke up the devil jealousy and up rose self degradation
As it went on gnawing at vitals, he was losing faith in the truth
It may land him in atheism, instead of gradual spiritual up gradation.
3. the third Pandava's brothers,
4. Arjuna and krishna, born to supress unrighteousness.
5. the second of the Pandava brothers.
6. chanting.
