तजहु तात यह रूपा |

कीजय सिसुलीला अति प्रियसीला यह सुख परम अनूपा ||

tajahu tāta yaha rupā

Kijai sisulilā ati priyasilā yaha sukha parama anupā ||

(Rāmcharitmānas)

"Please give up this form, O Lord, and begin your childish sport, which is so dear to a mother's heart. The joy such pastimes bring to me is solely unparalleled."

भवेऽस्मिन्क्लिश्यमानानामविद्याकामकर्मभिः

श्रवणस्मरणार्हाणि करिष्यन्निति केचन

ṣravaṇasmaraṇāhāṇi kariṣyanniti kechana (Bhagavatam - 1.8.35)

"You descend for the welfare of the suffering souls, giving them a chance to relish the sweetness of devotion by hearing, remembering, and worshiping you."

Out of His causeless mercy and benevolence, He descends in His loving form to nurture love in our hearts. He makes one soul his father, another mother, another brother, and another friend, yet another servant or beloved. Hiding His almightiness and bound by the love of these blessed souls, He displays amazing leelas, which become a basis for our bhakti (devotion.) Hence, Saint Tulsidas, states:

राम एक तापस तिय तारी, कोटि खल कुमति सुदारी

rām eka tāpasa tiya tārī, nāma koṭi khala kumati sudhārī

"In his descension period, Lord Ram helped only one Ahalya. However, since then, by chanting the divine name 'Ram,' billion fallen souls have elevated themselves."
