அவர் இடுப்பில் காஞ்சி, கைகளில் வளையல்கள், மார்பில் மாலை, கால்களில் நூபுரங்கள் ஆகியவற்றைக் கண்டார். கழுத்தில் கௌஸ்துப மணியின் ஒளி; வனமாலை அணிந்து, திருமகளைத் தம்முடன் தாங்கியிருந்தார்.

In Canto 8, Chapter 6, Lakṣmī is described as manifesting with radiant beauty and auspicious ornaments, and even the greatest devas like Brahmā and Śiva bow down and glorify the Supreme Person connected with her appearance.
Because they witnessed an extraordinary divine manifestation associated with Śrī (Lakṣmī) and the Supreme Person; recognizing the Lord’s supremacy, they offered praise along with all the demigods in full prostration.
The verse models humility and reverence—spiritual progress is strengthened when one honors the Supreme Lord above all power and beauty, offering sincere praise and surrender rather than pride.
