श्रीदेव्युवाच । येषु तीर्थेषु यन्नाम कीर्तनीयं तव प्रभो । तत्कार्त्स्येन मम ब्रूहि यच्चहं तव वल्लभा
śrīdevyuvāca | yeṣu tīrtheṣu yannāma kīrtanīyaṃ tava prabho | tatkārtsyena mama brūhi yaccahaṃ tava vallabhā
શ્રીદેવી બોલ્યાં—હે પ્રભુ, કયા કયા તીર્થોમાં તમારું કયું નામ કીર્તનીય છે? હું તમારી વલ્લભા છું, તેથી તે સર્વ મને સંપૂર્ણ રીતે કહો।
