Dẫu mỗi hoàng hậu của Chúa có hàng trăm tỳ nữ, họ vẫn tự mình khiêm cung phụng sự Ngài: ra đón, dâng chỗ ngồi, thờ phụng bằng lễ vật thượng hảo, rửa và xoa bóp chân Ngài, dâng trầu (pān), quạt mát, xức đàn hương thơm, trang sức vòng hoa, chải sửa tóc, sắp đặt giường, tắm gội cho Ngài và kính dâng nhiều phẩm vật.
Thus end the purports of the humble servants of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda to the Tenth Canto, Fifty-ninth Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled “The Killing of the Demon Naraka.”
This verse describes intimate, respectful service to Śrī Kṛṣṇa—welcoming Him, offering a seat, washing His feet, fanning Him, adorning Him, and bringing gifts—showing that bhakti is expressed through loving, practical service.
Śukadeva Gosvāmī describes many maidservants (dāsī-śatāḥ) engaged in serving the Supreme Lord, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, through various forms of attentive household and personal service.
Adopt a service attitude in daily devotion—offer time and care in worship, keep sacred spaces clean, assist devotees, and perform your duties as an offering to Kṛṣṇa with attentiveness and humility.
