Revered by every perfect saint,
Rose to her feet by Ráma’s side
And thus in gentle tones replied:
“My penance meed this day I see
Complete, my lord, in meeting thee.
In plain words: Shabari, pure and honored by all the sages, stands beside Rama and gently answers. She says that meeting him today is the full reward of all her years of spiritual effort.
