सा भक्तिर्द्विविधा देवि सगुणा निर्गुणा मता ।। वैधी स्वाभाविकी या या वरा सा त्ववरा स्मृता ।। १८ ।।

sanskrit

O Goddess, devotion is considered to be of two types: one is with qualities (Saguna) and the other without qualities (Nirguna). The devotion that is prescribed (Vaidhi) and the natural (Swabhaviki) devotion are both remembered, but your devotion is regarded as superior.
