पादाब्जयोस्तव विना वरदास्यमेव
नान्यत्कदापि समये किल देवि याचे ।
सख्याय ते मम नमोऽस्तु नमोऽस्तु नित्यं
दास्याय ते मम रसोऽस्तु रसोऽस्तु सत्यम् ॥
pādābjayos tava vinā vara-dāsyam eva
nānyat kadāpi samaye kila devi yāce |
sakhyāya te mama namo’stu namo’stu nityaṁ
dāsyāya te mama raso’stu raso’stu satyam ||
(Vilāpa-kusumāñjali: 16)
“O Devī! Certainly I never pray at any time for anything other than the finest servitude unto your lotus feet. May my obeisance be offered, may my obeisance be offered forever, unto to friendship with you, and may my loving attachment be, may my loving attachment forever be to servitude unto you. This is my vow.”
