श्रीसद्गुरुरुवाच
अथाचिरात् क्षीरनिधौ यथा पुरा ।
विदेहराजस्य च यज्ञभूमौ
तथा स्वयं श्रीफलवृक्षमूला- ।
दाविर्बभूवामृत रूपिणी श्रीः ॥
The Sadguru said:
Then, before long, just as She had once emerged from the Ocean of Milk, and later from the sacrificial ground of King Videha, so did the nectar-formed Śrī Herself appear from the base of a Bilva tree.

then · before long · from the Ocean of Milk · just as · in the past · of the King of Videha · in the sacrificial ground · so · Herself · from the base of the Bilva tree · appeared · nectar-formed · Lakṣmī
This verse establishes the divine lineage of the appearance of Śrī Raṅganāyikā by connecting Her current manifestation to Her previous historical descents from the Ocean of Milk and the sacrificial ground of King Janaka. It emphasizes that Her emergence from the Bilva tree is a continuation of Her eternal, nectar-like nature.
