PURPORT
The key passage of this ślokam is: “kṛtinaḥ tava viṣṇoḥ ca prītyai vaidikaṃ dharma setuṃ prītimantaḥ bhajante” (The puṇyaśālīs protect the dam of vaidika dharmam with joy for pleasing You and Your Lord).
Meaning according to Villivalam Śrī Nārāyaṇācār Swāmy : Oh Mother of the Universe! Those blessed ones, who wish to perform kaimkaryams to You in unison with Your divine consort discard the material wealth of this world and engage in practise of vaidika karmas for pleasing You both. They perform these kaimkaryams with the resolution that they should not swerve away from these ancient commands of Your Lord ordained in His Bhāgavata Śāstrams.
Additional Observations on this ślokam : For those virtuous ones, who have performed śaraṇāgati to both of You, desire arises in them to serve You both together. Propelled by that desire (kaimkarya ruci), they consider all the perishable wealth of this world as worthless. The phalan sought by their selfless kaimkaryams is the realization of Your pleasure over their kaimkarya prāpti. Such niṣkāma kaimkaryams (with sāttvika tyāgams) observed as vaidika dharmams stand like a strong dam to hold the boundaries of Bhāgavata Śāstrams.
