avidyānāmanta-stimira-mihiradvīpanagarī
jaḍānāṃ chaitanya-stabaka-makaranda-srutijharī ।
daridrāṇāṃ chintāmaṇiguṇanikā janmajaladhau
nimagnānāṃ daṃṣṭrā muraripu-varāhasya bhavati ॥ 3 ॥

Translation: The dust under your feet, oh goddess great, is like the city of the rising sun, that removes all darkness, unfortunate, from the mind of the poor ignorant one, is like the honey that flows, from the flower bunch of vital action, to the slow witted one, is like the heap of wish giving gems, to the poorest of men, and is like the teeth of lord Vishnu in the form of Varaha, who brought to surface, the mother earth, to those drowned in this sea of birth.

Chanting procedure and Nivedyam ( offerings to the Lord) : If one chants this verse 2000 times every day for 45 days, and offers Vada (made out of Urad Dhal ) as prasadam, one is said to attain knowledge and wisdom. 

BENEFICIAL RESULTS: Attainment of versatile knowledge, particularly of Vedas.

Literal Results: This sloka is a remedy for people who are weak in grasping and memory power. Extremely helpful in enhancing performance levels in academics. Atleast a recitation of 11 times a day will bring remarkable changes in a dull student. It is also important to note that the key objects mentioned in all slokas would bear fruit. In this particular sloka, the mention of gems and necklace would yield results as sloka attains power through chanting.This is also a prayer to one of the Dasavatharas of Lord Vishnu,the Varaha Avathaara!
