। ॥ २८ ॥
In plain words
Set your lotus foot on the jewelled sandal. Walk slowly to the bathing hall, resting your hand in the lotus hands your companions hold out to you. Great Goddess, treasury of compassion — these gods are standing on either side of your path, aching for the corner of your eye to fall on them. Look at them. Just a little.

Place your lotus-foot upon the jewelled sandal; walk slowly to the bathing hall, leaning on the lotus-hands held out by your companions. O Maheśī, O treasury of compassion, look a little upon these deities, standing on both sides, eager for the falling of the corner of your eye.
