In plain words
Then he comes over to the bride's people. 'What is all this, sirs! You are not showing us the proper courtesies. You are not giving us proper food,' and he browbeats them. In this way he began browbeating that side and this side. And what are these two sides thinking? These think, 'He must be one of the … party.' Those think, 'He must be one of the bride's party.' With them thinking this way, his bullying grew all the more. When his high-handedness grew too much …, both sides … to find out, 'Who is he, sir? Who is he, sir?' When they tried to make an enquiry, he quietly slipped away. What it means is this: Prakṛti and Paramātma, the marriage of the two, the union of the two. On the side of this Prakṛti all the people ….

When we are hungry we need food; but if … God, will hunger be satisfied? Prakṛti alone takes away all my sorrows. 'Prakṛti alone is what matters to me': at one moment this mind stamps it in firmly. If I trust in God, will I not get food? He alone is the one who gives food to all. He alone is the very form of Annapūrṇā. He alone is the protector of all.
