He [Sri Ramakrishna] sang:
Mother, am I Thine eight-months child?
Thy red eyes cannot frighten me!
My riches are Thy Lotus Feet, which Śiva
holds upon His breast;
Yet, when I seek my heritage, I meet with
excuses and delays.
A deed of gift I hold in my heart, attested
by Thy Husband Śiva;
I shall sue Thee, if I must, and with
a single point shall win.
If Thou dost oppose me, Thou wilt learn what
sort of mother's son I am.
This bitterly contested suit between
the Mother and Her son-
What sport it is! says Ramprasad. I shall not
cease tormenting Thee
Till Thou Thyself, shalt yield the fight and
take me in Thine arms at last.
- Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, P 263
(21 July 1883)
