तस्यास्तु शक्तिर्वा देवी ब्रह्माणं सा भजिष्यति ॥ अन्या शक्तिः पुनस्तत्र प्रकृतेः संभविष्यति ॥४६॥

Her Śakti, the goddess of speech, shall resort to Brahmā. Another Śakti also will be arising out of the Prakṛti.

समाश्रयिष्यति विष्णुं लक्ष्मीरूपेण सा तदा॥ पुनश्च काली नाम्ना सा मदंशं प्राप्स्यति ध्रुवम् ॥४७॥

That Śakti will resort to Viṣṇu in the form of Lakṣmī. Another Śakti Kālī will surely share my part.

ज्योती रूपेण सा तत्र कार्यार्थे संभविष्यति ॥ एवं देव्यास्तथा प्रोक्ताश्शक्तयः परमाश्शुभाः ॥ ४८ ॥

She will be born in the form of Brilliance for effective work. Thus I have told you of the great auspicious Śaktis of the Goddess.

सृष्टिस्थितिलयानां हि कार्यं तासां क्रमाद्ध्रुवम् ॥ एतस्याः प्रकृत्तेरंशा मत्प्रियायास्सुरौत्तम ॥४९॥

Their activities are respectively creation, maintenance and dissolution. O foremost among Gods, they are the parts of Prakṛti, my beloved.

त्वं च लक्ष्मीमुपाश्रित्य कार्यं कर्तुमिहार्हसि ॥ ब्रह्मंस्त्वं च गिरां देवीं प्रकृत्यंशामवाप्य च ॥ 2-1-9-५० ॥

You should take refuge in Lakshmi, and then you are deserving of performing your task. You are also Brahma, and you have attained the power of the goddess of speech, Saraswati, through your inherent nature.
