Shiva Tells Uma how Kakbhushundi Worships Lord Hari
The same bird (Kakabhusundi) dwells on that same splendid mountain. He is not destroyed even at the end of a kalpa (which measures the duration of the world). The phenomena of good and evil, infatuation, lust and other forms of ignorance created by Maya (the illusory power of the Supreme Spirit) which overcasts the entire universe,can never dare to even venture near that mountain. O Uma! Lovingly listen to the manner in which the crow spends his days, worshipping Lord Hari, as he resides there.
Kakbhusundi Prays to Lord Vishnu Under a Mango Tree
Under the peepul tree he meditates; he performs yagnas (sacrifices) and does japa (incantations) under the plaksha; he prays to the Lord in the mind under shade of the mango tree. He has no other work other than doing bhajan of Lord Hari. Under the banyan tree, he narrates episodes from the tale of Lord Hari. Several birds flock there to hear the story. With loving reverence he sings of the various wonderful exploits of Lord Rama (in the Manasa or holy lake of the acts of Rama). The swans having a pure mind, who forever dwell in that lake, listen to the story. When I arrived there and saw the spectacle, an exceptional joy invaded my heart.

Shiva Assumes the Form of a Swan
Then, acquiring the form of a swan, I dwelt there for some time. And, after reverently listening to the glories of Lord Raghunath, returned to Mount Kailash.

Lord Rama Battling Meghnada
Girija, I have narrated the whole episode of when I visited Kakabhusundi. Now listen to the narration as to why Garuda (the glory of the loka of birds) went to the crow. When the Lord of the Raghus doing the lila or divine play of a battle (with Meghanad, the son of Ravana),whose very thought fills me with shame, allowed Himself to be bound at the hands of Meghanada, sage Nårada sent Garuda.
Garuda Ponders over Lord Rama's Incarnation
When Garuda (the devourer of serpents) cut the bonds and departed, a terrible dejection burdened his soul. Recalling the Lord's bondage, the enemy of the serpents, pondered over the incident in many ways. I have heard that the all-pervasive, Brahma who is the impersonal Ultimate Being, the Lord of speech, who is beyond maya (the illusory world) and moha (delusion as to the suppose reality of the world) has incarnated in this material world. But I saw none of that Incarnation's divine power.

kharba nisåcara bå°dheu någapåsa soi råma ||58||
Garuda Cutting the Nagapasha Binding Rama & Lakshmana
By chanting the Name of Råma, man is freed from the bonds of worldly existence. The very same Rama was tied down by a worthless demon's (Meghanada) nagapasha or serpent arrows.
