At that moment, the Lord, with lotus navel, who appears within the hearts of the deserving, understanding that his servants had offended the Kumāras, came to the seventh gate with Lakṣmī, moving his feet which should be sought by the great renounced sages. The Lord, lover of brāhmaṇas and affectionate to his devotees, then appeared there to prove that bhakti attracts the Lord, that bhakti shines and makes others shine, by making the Kumāras and the doorkeepers bathe themselves in water drops from an ocean of inner humility arising from committing offense to each other; by purifying them of their faults, and making them realize the meaning of devotee and brāhmaṇa. Understanding that his devotees (svānām) had offended the Kumāras (sad-atikramam), the Lord who appears in the hearts of the worthy (ārya-hrḍyaḥ), but who now would appear before their eyes, went to the seventh door (tasmin), moving his feet which should be sought ultimately by the great sages. After nirvikalpa-jñāna, one should progress to savikalpa-jñāna, and then, after realizing Brahman, one should attain realization of the form of the Lord, in the form of his feet. I will inundate those jñānīs in an astonishing ocean of great bliss, giving them an experience of my sweet feet which they have not experienced before. They know that I possess the external energy, but they do not know my energy arising from my svarūpa, Lakṣmī. I will make them experience my bliss śakti. Thus he appeared with Lakṣmī.
