This slender-waisted girl, fully surrendered, with qualities and conduct similar to yours, should be the wife of all of you, since your conduct and qualities are of one nature.
“How can all of us marry one girl?” Your qualities and conduct are one, though you are many. This is my blessing (bhūyāt), and thus all faults visible and invisible are mitigated.

With power undiminished for three thousand devatā years, you will enjoy a thousand earthly and heavenly pleasures by my mercy.

atha mayy anapāyinyā

upayāsyatha mad-dhāma

Of men, whose hearts have all guṇas burned up by undiminished bhakti! After earthly enjoyment, disgusted with all material places which are equivalent to hell, you will attain my abode.
O men in whose hearts the material guṇas have been burned up by bhakti! After enjoying on earth (ataḥ), you will come to my abode. Since they could not see the Lord if they still had material guṇas present in them, the sentence does not mean “after have burned up the material guṇas in your hearts by bhakti, you will come to me.” It is said:
hantāsmin janmani bhavān mā māṁ draṣṭum ihārhati |
avipakva-kaṣāyāṇāṁ durdarśo’haṁ kuyoginām ||
Oh! In this body you will not be able to see me again. But lax practitioners with contamination remaining cannot see me at all. SB 1.6.22
Becoming disgusted with places having material identity such as Brahmaloka (ataḥ nirayāt nirvidyā), which are equivalent to hell, you will attain my abode.
