Translation

Verse 1

Lakṣmīpriyā-devī, who is devoted to her husband, and who has dedicated her life's breath to her husband, happily serves mother Śacī.

Verse 2

She dresses and decorates the Deity. She cleans the house. She burns incense, lights lamps, cooks for the Diety, prepares sandal paste and flower garlands, and perfoems many other like services.

Verse 3

Śacī artistically decorates the Deity room in many ways. Rapt in this service, she forgets herself.

Verse 4

As long as they are rapt in the Deity's service, Śacī and Lakṣmīpriyā are are not broken into pieces by grief.

Verse 5

Still, in separation from Lord Gaurāṅga, Lakṣmīpriyā finds her heart is tormented with grief. In His absence, her love for Him overwhelms her body.

Verse 6

Her grief in His absence eventually assumed the form of a snake. Seeing that snake, Lakṣmīpriyā felt great wonder in her heart.

Verse 7

That snake bit Lakṣmīpriyā's foot. Then Lakṣmīpriyā returned to the spiritual world. This Locana dāsa says.
