श्रीदेव्युवाच
मातरं मामनादृत्य क्लिश्यमानां क्षुधा त्विह |
देवपूजां करोषि त्वं दृढभक्त्या ममार्भक ||
वैष्ण्नवेन त्वया दत्तमहामिच्छामि बालक |
पत्रं पुष्पं फलं तोयं यत्किञ्चिद्विष्णवेsर्पितम् ||
वामाचारयुतानां तु क्रूररूपा भवाम्यहम् |
सदाचारयुतानां तु सौम्यरूपा भवामि च ||
उपेक्षां मा कुरु तामसीदेवतेति माम् |
कृष्णदास्यमवापुस्ता मत्प्रसादेन गोपिकाः ||
सर्वलोकेक्ष्वरं कृष्णं साक्षात्कर्तुं यदीच्छसि |
मातृभावेन मां नित्यमाराधय महामते ||
Shri Devi said
My child! You are performing deva Pooja paying no attention to Me, your mother, who is afflicted by hunger. My child! I would like to have anything like leaves, flowers, fruits or water, that which is the prasada of Lord Vishnu and that is offered by you, a devoted vaishnava. I express Myself in the dreadful form to those who adopt vamachara, and in the lovable form to those who adopt sadachara (holy path). Do not ignore me as the Goddess of cruelty. The Gopis could gain the joy of service to Lord Krishna only due to My blessings. Oh! Wise man! If you want to behold the sacred form of Lord Shri Krishna, the Lord of all worlds, worship Me as the holy mother.
