And filled with delight, her hymned the mighty saints with the Srī Sukta; and the Gandharvas, headed by Viçwāvasu, began to chant before her. And, O Brāhmana, bevies of Apsarās—Ghritāchi and others—began to dance, and the rivers—Gangā and the rest—came with water, for bathing her. And an elephant of one of the cardinal points, taking water out of the golden vessels, bathed that goddess—the mighty Mistress of all the worlds.

In plain words: The great sages joyfully sang the Sri Sukta hymn to Lakshmi, and heavenly musicians sang before her. Heavenly dancers danced, the sacred rivers like the Ganga brought water to bathe her, and a great elephant poured water over her from golden pots.
