Translation
Disregarding Brahmā and others who seek Her favor, the Goddess Śrī continuously serves the dust of Bhagavān’s feet, although He is without any want or need for such service. This indication alone is indeed sufficient to suggest the all-exceeding eminence of Bhagavān Hari, who is unequaled and unsurpassed in virtues.
