Kāraṇānvēṣaṇam: The 32 Marks of Hari, Defects (Doṣas), Death-Omens, and Hari’s Omnipresence in Social & Household Life
एवं ज्ञात्वा सर्वदा लक्ष्मणा तु हरिं सदा प्रीणयामास देवी / सपर्यया वै क्रियमाणया हरिः पतिर्ममस्य दिति चिन्तयाना
evaṃ jñātvā sarvadā lakṣmaṇā tu hariṃ sadā prīṇayāmāsa devī / saparyayā vai kriyamāṇayā hariḥ patirmamasya diti cintayānā
ഇങ്ങനെ അറിഞ്ഞ് ദേവി ലക്ഷ്മണാ എല്ലായ്പ്പോഴും ഹരിയെ സന്തോഷിപ്പിച്ചു. അവൾ നിത്യമായി പൂജയും സേവയും ചെയ്തപ്പോൾ, ഹരി ‘ഇവൾ എന്റെ പത്നി’ എന്നു ചിന്തിച്ച് പ്രസന്നനായി.
