tasmai - unto Him (Lord Vāmanadeva); iti - in this way; upanītāya - who had undergone His sacred thread ceremony; yakṣa-rāṭ - Kuvera, the treasurer of heaven and King of the Yakṣas; pātrikām - a pot for begging alms; adāt - delivered; bhikṣām - alms; bhagavatī - mother Bhavānī, the wife of Lord Śiva; sākṣāt - directly; umā - Umā; adāt - gave; ambikā - the mother of the universe; satī - the chaste.

When Vāmanadeva had thus been given the sacred thread, Kuvera, King of the Yakṣas, gave Him a pot for begging alms, and mother Bhagavatī, the wife of Lord Śiva and most chaste mother of the entire universe, gave Him His first alms.
