Before worshipping the Lord with tulasī leaves, surrounded by servants, she gazes at her face with beautiful locks and raised nose, reflected in the water of a pond filled with pure, sweet water whose banks are made of coral. She considers that this face has been kissed by the Lord. Having described the bhakti expressed in her service, he now describes her bhakti expressed through arcana, which is similar to that of sādhakas. She takes her morning bath in order to worship Nārāyaṇa, her Lord, with tulasī in a grove situated within Niḥśreyasavana, in a pond filled with water similar to nectar. First, however, in order to wash her face, she sits on the steps on the bank of the pond, gazes at her face with beautiful locks (svalakam) and nose reflected in the water. She thinks that it is the leftovers from being kissed by the Lord. Or, seeing her face reflected in the water mixed with the reflection of the blue lotus, she begins to think that her face is being kissed by the Lord.
