सरस्वत्या लक्ष्म्या विधिहरिसपत्नो विहरते रतेः पातिव्रत्यं शिथिलयति रम्येण वपुषा । चिरं जीवन्नेव क्षपितपशुपाशव्यतिकरः परानन्दाभिख्यम् रसयति रसं त्वद्भजनवान् ॥९९॥

Word breakdown
- विधिहरिसपत्नः
- co-husband with Brahma and Vishnu
- रतेः पातिव्रत्यम्
- Rati's chaste devotion
- पशुपाशव्यतिकरः
- the bondage of animal attachments
- परब्रह्माभिख्यम्
- named Supreme Brahman
Your devotee sports as co-husband with Saraswati and Lakshmi alongside Brahma and Vishnu, loosens even Rati's chaste devotion with his beautiful form, and living long with destroyed animal bondages, tastes the supreme bliss called Para-Brahman. This describes the liberated devotee's cosmic status and transcendent enjoyment.
