इत्युक्ता सा तदा देवी गम्भीरान्तःस्मिता जगौ । दुर्गा भगवती भद्रा ययेदं धार्यते जगत् ॥ ११६ ॥
ityuktā sā tadā devī gambhīrāntaḥsmitā jagau durgā bhagavatī bhadrā yayedaṁ dhāryate jagat
Translation
Addressed thus, the Devi Durga, Bhagavati, the auspicious one by whom this world is upheld, smiled deeply within and spoke.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
इस प्रकार कहे जाने पर जगत को धारण करने वाली कल्याणमयी भगवती दुर्गा मन ही मन गंभीरता से मुस्कराईं और बोलीं।
Commentary
Gambhirantahsmita, "smiling deeply within": the Devi is amused by the offer. Her reply is a masterpiece of irony.
