हृदतीरे च सा भाति ऋजुयष्टिलता यथा॥ त्रैलोक्यसुन्दरी कान्ता सर्वचित्तप्रमाथिनी। लक्ष्मीव पद्मरहिता चन्द्रज्योत्स्नेव निर्मला॥ रूपेणाप्यभवत्सा तु श्रियं देवीमुमा यथा। द्योतयन्ती दिशः सर्वास्तथाभूत्सा वराङ्गना॥ एतस्मिन्नन्तरे देवो निवृत्तः सुरनायकः। पादावुपास्य देवस्य ब्रह्मणस्तेन वै पथा॥ तस्यामेव च वेलायामादित्योऽपि परिभ्रमन्। तस्मिन्नेव पदे सोऽभूास्मिन्सा तनुमध्यमा॥ युगपत्सा तदा दृष्टा देवाभ्यां सुरसुन्दरी। कंदर्पवशगौ तौ तु दृष्ट्वा तां संबभूवतुः॥
