नैतावता मम वायोश्च नित्यं दुः खातनं नैव संचितनीयम् । एतादृशोहं स्तवनेनु कास्ति शक्तिर्गुणानां मधुसूदन प्रभो । वायोः सकाशाच्च गुणेन हीना संसाररूपे मुक्तरूपे च देव
naitāvatā mama vāyośca nityaṃ duḥ khātanaṃ naiva saṃcitanīyam / etādṛśohaṃ stavanenu kāsti śaktirguṇānāṃ madhusūdana prabho / vāyoḥ sakāśācca guṇena hīnā saṃsārarūpe muktarūpe ca deva
On that account no perpetual undergoing of suffering by me or by Vāyu is at all to be imagined. Being such as I am, what power have I in praise of (your) qualities, O Madhusūdana, O Lord? — I who am inferior in quality to Vāyu, both in the state of transmigration and in the state of liberation, O God.

Śeṣa said: I do not know the soles of your feet; Rudra does not know them, Garuḍa does not know them. I am less than Vāṇī by a hundredfold portion of qualities; giving (me) a dwelling place, protect me, O Vāsudeva.

Garuḍa said: What praise of your two feet can I make? My mind is fixed on your lotus-feet. How can I, born of a bird's womb, (utter it) with my mouth — how am I able to nest such qualities (in speech)?

रुद्र उवाच । या वै तवेश भगवन्न विदाम भूमन् भक्तिर्ममास्तु शिवपादसरोजमूले । छन्नापि सा ननु सदा न ममास्ति देव तेनाद्रुहं तव विरुद्धमतः करोमि

Rudra said: That (greatness) of yours, O Lord, O Blessed One, O all-pervading one, we do not know. May my devotion abide at the root of the lotus-feet of Śiva. Yet even hidden, that (devotion) is surely not always mine, O God; therefore I, without malice, act contrary to you.

O Hari, O Murāri, of you who possess all-encompassing intelligence — what power is there in the speech of me, of dull understanding? Protect me, O Lord, me who am always a hundred times inferior to Vāṇī (Speech/Sarasvatī), and grant me an abode as well.

Vāruṇī said: O husband of Lakṣmī, lord of Brahmā, lord of Manu, lord of Speech, lord of Rudra, lord of men — I am not able to praise your qualities, nor is Pārvatī, nor Garuḍa's wife. (51) I am ten times inferior to Śeṣa; protect me always, O sovereign of the worlds. (52) Having praised (him) thus, Vāruṇī fell silent, O lord of birds; then Sauparṇī, born next after her, began (to speak), (though she was) of Brahmā's line.

Sauparṇī said: O Hari, lord of the world, (I have) no power of speech to praise your qualities, nor power in my ears to hear your story, O Hari.

(55) Having praised (him) thus, Sauparṇī fell silent, O lord of birds; then Girijā, born next after Rudra, began to praise (him).
