Minds of Great Men

(Vasanthi, the deity of DandakAranya forest tells about Rama to AthrEyi, a female ascetic in BhavabhUthI’s play, Uththara RAma charitham): The minds of great men (like RAma) are harder than diamond, yet softer than flowers. Who, indeed, can claim to have understood their thinking?
