Thus in this single shloka, the Acharya has brought in
advaitam and dvaitam, philosophy as well as a delightful pun, service to the
Lord as well as the concept of the nAyikA (beloved of the Lord) bhAva -- all
blended together.
To top it all we have one more
thing to enjoy about this shloka. This is in the fourth line. It
talks about the Divinities like Vishnu, BrahmA and Indra falling at the feet of
the Goddess and the divine feet get the nIrAjana (Reverential waving of Lights) from such great Gods. In fact
Soundaryalahari has three such nIrAjanas. One in this shloka, one in shloka
#30 and one in
the very last shloka
(#100).
