sanskrit

Lakshmi Mata says to Lord Vishnu who (Sage August) in anger made my father Samudra Lakshmi ji (who was born from Samudra) drink and who (Sage Bhrigu) in anger kicked my husband (Lord Vishnu and who is a Brahmin who has always been a child since childhood. My competitors seek the blessings of Saraswati and break my house of lotus flowers every day for the sake of worshiping Parvati's husband (Lord Shiva). O Lord, I never live in the house of those Brahmins.

बन्धनानि खलु सन्ति बहूनि प्रेमरज्जुकृतबन्धनमन्यत । दारुभेदनिपुणोऽपि षडङ्घ्रिर्निष्क्रियो भवति पङ्कजकोशे ॥१७॥

sanskrit

There are many bonds, but the rope of love has a different bond. Bhramar, who is skilled in making holes even in hard wood, becomes incapable of making holes in the lotus flower.

sanskrit

Just as sandalwood does not give up its fragrance even after being cut, Gajapati does not give up its luxury even when an elephant grows old, sugarcane does not give up its sweetness even after being squeezed. Similarly, the noble people do not give up their advanced qualities even when they are poor.

sanskrit

If you spontaneously hold a very small mountain in your hands on earth, you are called Govardhan in both heaven and earth. But I, the Lord of the three worlds, hold You only in the arms of the handful, yet I am not counted anywhere. Hey Keshav! Do you get fame from virtues by saying a lot?
