Strangely
enough, to heighten the importance of a particular form of the
deity, 'one is adoring, odd and interesting stories are invented,
episodes woven, anecdotes conceived and tense situations,
fabricated. Their chief concern is to impress the devotee with the
truth, that true bhakti would inevitably bear fruit and the adorer
be emancipated. It is only through comparison, and more so with
contrast - the principal forms of rhetorics, any point can be driven
home easily and successfully by the writers. So the 'scriptural
literature left no means untapped through its genres to make man
realise the Omnipotency of God, and with His mercy alone man will be
lifted.
