Shloka 7
सम्प्रेषितायामथ चैव दास्या- मुत्थाय सर्व स्वयमेव कार्यम् । जानातु कृष्णस्तव भावमेतं सर्वात्मना मां भजतीति सत्ये,सत्ये! यदि श्यामसुन्दर किसी कार्यके लिये दासीको भेजते हों तो तुम्हें स्वयं उठकर वह सब काम कर लेना चाहिये; जिससे श्रीकृष्णको तुम्हारे इस सेवा-भावका अनुभव हो जाय कि सत्यभामा सम्पूर्ण हृदयसे मेरी सेवा करती है
sampreṣitāyām atha caiva dāsyām utthāya sarvaṃ svayam eva kāryam | jānātu kṛṣṇas tava bhāvam etaṃ sarvātmanā māṃ bhajatīti satye satye |
Vaiśampāyana said: “And when the maidservant has been sent on an errand, you should rise yourself and do all the needed work on your own. Let Kṛṣṇa come to know this disposition of yours—that Satyabhāmā serves me with her whole heart, truly, truly.”

The verse emphasizes that genuine devotion is shown through personal, wholehearted service and initiative—doing necessary duties oneself rather than delegating—so that one’s inner attitude (bhāva) becomes evident.
Vaiśampāyana narrates advice directed to Satyabhāmā: when a maid is sent away, she should herself rise and complete the household tasks, so that Kṛṣṇa recognizes her sincere, wholehearted spirit of service.
