धर्मः कचित्तन्त्र न भूतसौहृदं
त्याग: कचित्तत्र न मुक्तिकारणम् ।
क्वचिच्चिरायुर्न हि शीलमङ्गलम्
सुमङ्गलः कश्च न काङ्क्षते हि माम् ॥'
 
SL
 
"There is Dharma in a place, but no
friendliness to beings; sacrifice there is
in some one, but not as means for self-
deliverance. Somewhere, there is long
life, but the auspiciousness of character
is absent. (Alas !) that some one who is
perfectly auspicious does not desire me."
 
एवं विमृश्याव्यभिचारिस गणैः
वञे मुकुन्दं निरपेक्षमीप्सितम् ॥
 
Thus discriminating, Lakshmi chose
Hari as Her desired Lord, because of his
excellences being invariably existent,
though He Himself was indifferent.

तस्थौ निधाय निकटे जनको जनन्या
वक्षो निवासमकरोत्परमं विभूतेः ॥ ॐ
