श्रीराम उवाच ।
आकारजातमुदितं शुद्धं हरिहराद्यपि ।
अविद्यैवेत्यहं श्रुत्वा ब्रह्मन्भ्रममिवागतः ॥ १ ॥

śrīrāma uvāca |
ākārajātamuditaṃ śuddhaṃ hariharādyapi |
avidyaivetyahaṃ śrutvā brahmanbhramamivāgataḥ || 1 ||

Rama said:—You said sir, that all formal bodies are representations of illusion or ignorance (Avidya); but how do you account for the pure bodies of Hari, Hara and other divinities, and god-heads who are of pure essence in their embodied forms, and which cannot be the creation of our error or delusion. Please, sir, explain these clearly to (spun) me and remove my doubts and difficulties on the subject.
