na tathā me priya-tama
ātma-yonir na śaṅkaraḥ
na ca saṅkarṣaṇo na śrīr
naivātmā ca yathā bhavān
na tathā — not so much; me — My; priya-tamaḥ — dearmost; ātma-yoniḥ — Lord Brahmā; na śaṅkaraḥ — nor Śaṅkara (Lord Śiva); na ca — nor; saṅkarṣaṇaḥ — Lord Saṅkarṣaṇa; na — nor; śrīḥ — the goddess of fortune; na — nor; eva — certainly; ātmā — My self; ca — and; yathā — as; bhavān — you.
“O Uddhava! Neither Brahmā, nor Śaṅkara, nor Saṅkarṣaṇa, nor Lakṣmī, nor even My own self is as dear to Me as you.”
