 “Born in the family descending from Maharaja Ikshvaku, He [Rama] is highly effulgent and possesses the shoulders of a lion. He, along with His brother Lakshmana, will come and take away your life.

 “The soul is atomic in size and can be perceived by perfect intelligence. This atomic soul is floating in the five kinds of air, is situated within the heart, and spreads its influence all over the body of the embodied living entities.
