Brahma, have often approached me when they themselves could not find an answer to
confounding issues faced by them.
Therefore, it is incongruous for you to doubt my wisdom when I declare my faith,
devotion and allegiance to Lord Ram.(^2) Refer: Ram Charit Manas, Baal Kand, Chuapai line nos. 1-5 that precede Doha
no. 48 herein above.]

#He (Lord Ram) who is meditated upon with a pure and holy Mana (mind and heart)
by wise and learned sages, seers, ascetics, hermits, mystics and saints [1]---
---He whose endless, immeasurable and eternal glories are being sung and
lauded continuously by the Vedas and Purans, but still the scriptures fail to understand
and difine him in entirety, thereby declaring that he is “Neti-Neti”^1 (not this; not
this—or that ‘whatever has been said of the Lord is not a sufficient description of his
true glory nor of his true identity, for it evades description and understanding’) [2]---
---It is the same Lord Ram who is Brahm (the Supreme Being)^2 , the all-
pervading and immanent lord of the whole universe, the Lord of Maya (i.e. the
delusory powers of creation), in a personified form [3]---
---Who has manifested himself, out of his own free will, in a divine form as
the gem-of-a-prince in the family of king Raghu (“Raghu-kul-mani”) for the welfare
and good of his devotees^3 [4]. (Chanda line nos. 1-4)

Sati had raised two questions—one was that Lord Ram was not Brahm, and the
second was that Brahm does not incarnate as a human being: refer—from Chaupai
line no. 7 that precedes Doha no. 50—to Chaupai line no. 2 that follows this Doha.
Lord Shiva has addressed her doubts in the above verses, saying that “Lord Ram is
indeed Brahm”, and then giving the reason “why Brahm became a human being”.]
