Seeing the Lord of the Wheel within the Wheel intent on worship, the Supreme goddess, her mind full of humility, asked (him): ‘O god and lord, what is worshipped in the great union that arouses great wonder with (all this) great heap of sacrificial substances and the divine wheels that generate great bliss (mahat-ānandakāraka)? Śrīnātha, if you do (indeed) bestow boons tell (me this) by (your) grace’”.
