Mrutyuh sarva harah cha aham udbhavah cha bhaviswhyatam I
Kirtih shrih vak cha narinam smritih medha dhritih kshama II sloka 34
मृत्युः सर्व हरः च अहम् उद्भवः च भविष्यतां I
कीर्तिः श्रीः वाक् च नारीणां स्मृतिः मेधा धृतिः क्षमा II श्लोक 34
Life and death are the obverse and reverse of existence. To the born, death is certain. The Lord is as much the force of destruction as he is the force of creation.
As the rain bearing clouds are attracted to the verdure of forests, the grace of the Lord in the form of prosperity comes to those who have made themselves worthy of it.
The powers of the Lord (who are goddesses) - Fame (Kirti), Fortune(Shri), Speech (Vak), Memory (Smriti), Intelligence (Medha), Constancy (Dhriti) and Forbearance (Kshama) - wherever these qualities are found in abundance, there the presence of the divine is prominent.
