tasthau nidhāya nikaṭe taduraḥ svadhāma % savrīḍahāsavikasannayanena yātā //
23. Having thus well thought over, she chose for her consort Mukunda who was the most worthy by His constant and excellent qualities and also for His desirelessness, who was beyond the qualities of Prakriti, in whom all powers dwelt, who depended upon no other and who was the One desired by her. 24. On His shoulders she placed the charming wreath of fresh lotus-blossoms resonant with the hummings of maddened hosts of honey-gatherers and stood by in His presence, having betaken herself to her own place, His bosom, through her eyes blooming with smiles checked by her bashfulness (eagerly looking at His bosom her own resting place).
8.8.25.p2
tasyāḥ śriyastrijagato janako jananyā $ vakṣo nivāsamakarot paramaṃ vibhūteḥ &
25. The father of the worlds appointed His bosom to be the permanent abode of Sri, mother of the three worlds and the source of all fortune; and from that seat Sri cast her generous and merciful glances upon all her creatures, on all the three worlds with their Rulers and thereby promoted their welfare (filled their heart with joy).
