Godā Stuti, 17

viśvāyamāna-rajasā kamalena nābhau
vakṣaḥ-sthale ca kamalā-stana-candanena |
āmodito ’pi nigamair vibhur aṅghri-yugme
dhatte natena śirasā tava mauḷi-mālām || 17 ||

The Supreme Lord,

        although delighted

                by the lotus—
                        whose pollen becomes the very cosmos—
                in His navel,

                by the sandalwood of Kamalā's [Lakṣmī's] bosom
                on His chest,

                by the Vedas
                in His divine feet,

wears
        with bowed head
your crown-garland!
