नमे सन्ध्योपातिर्न च विहित कर्म स्वभिरतिः
त्वदीयांधि द्वन्द्वं विधिवदपि नाभ्यर्चित महो !
किमालोक्य व्यर्थे मयि सदयभावासि जननि !
तवैतात्सल्यं वदति भवतीं विश्व जननीम् ॥
– ” शृंगारलहरी”
I do not perform Sandhya-adoration. Nor have I aptitude for the performance of other rituals. I have not worshipped Thy feet too according to the scriptu ral ordinances! What makes you merciful towards me-a useless one- Oh Mother!
This affection of yours bespeaks that Thou art the Mother of the Universe!
