Then Lalitā and the row of her companions, having likewise paid their service to those elder women, sat down beside her. Thereupon the mother of Śrī Rāma said clearly: "Queen of Vraja, today the star Rohiṇī shines, which brings forth all happiness. So let the order be given: This maiden, whose expertise surpasses all the brides of every quarter because of her pure devotion, has already known the kitchen in pleasing accordance with the beauty of the moon for the excellence of cooking and the like. Along with her, let those other blessed women, headed by Maṅgalā, women of the younger brother of Balarāma who is an orchard of auspiciousness, as well as those women possessing other varied names who are women of Balarāma who is an orchard of prosperity—let these women everywhere follow her alone. As for Lalitā and the rest, they are indeed of the very form of her own body; they need not be appointed by us as assistants."
