Pativrata Laksmidevi Pati Gata
pativrata laksmi-devi pati-gata prana
anande sacira seva karaya vidhana
Laksmipriya-devi, who is devoted to her husband, and who has dedicated her life's breath to her husband, happily serves mother Saci.
devatara sajja kare gaha sammarjana
dhupa dipa naibedyadi malya-candana
She dresses and decorates the Deity. She cleans the house. She burns incense, lights lamps, cooks for the Deity, prepares sandal paste and flower garlands, and performs many other like services.
saba samskari deya devatara ghare
bahura silpataya saci apana pasara
Saci artistically decorates the Deity room in many ways. Rapt in this service, she forgets herself.
e- i-rupe ache saci laksmira sahite
daiba niyojita karma na haya khandite
As long as they are rapt in the Deity's service, Saci and Laksmipriya are not broken into pieces by grief.
gauranga-birahe laksmi katara antara
anurage birahe byakula kalebara
Still, in separation from Lord Gauranga, Laksmipriya finds her heart is tormented with grief. In His absence, her love for Him overwhelms her body.
biraha ha- ila murtimanta sarpakara
dekhiya laksmira mane ha- ila camatkara
Her grief in His absence eventually assumed the form of a snake. Seeing that snake, Laksmipriya felt great wonder in her heart.
damsileka se- i sarpa laksmira carane
laksmira swaraga prapti e locana bhane
That snake bit Laksmipriya's foot. Then Laksmipriya returned to the spiritual world. This Locana dasa says.
