*jaganmātarmātastava caraṇasevā na racitā*
*na vā dattaṁ devi draviṇamapi bhūyastava mayā* ।
*tathāpi tvaṁ snehaṁ mayi nirupamaṁ yatprakuruṣe*
*kuputro jāyeta kvcidapi kumātā na bhavati* ॥
“Mother of the universe, I have not served thy feet,
Nor have I offered thee rich wealth;
Notwithstanding this, that thou showeth
Affection, that is incomparable, towards me:
A bad son is many a time born,
But a bad mother, there is none and never.”
