Notes according to the Budha Dal Steek on Sarbloh Granth:
Bhavani (the fericous form of Parbati, Shivji's consort, also known as Durga, Bhagauti) here is noted as "Paida karan vali shakti", meaning, that She is the Creative (that which gives birth) Energy of the Universe.

Maya Laxmi (Vishnu's consort) is noted as "Paalnaa karan vali Shakti", meaning She is the Nourishing/protecting Energy of the Universe.

The Steek talks about how these Devi's represent Guna's (qualities) of Vahiguru.
If there is any fault in the translation please post a comment so changes can be made.

The first page of Sri Sarbloh Granth - (the proper name is Sri Manglacharan Ji)

Note: Some words differ in spelling from this old photograph and what I have written above. I am following the Budha Dal Steek as that Tikadhar (writer of the steek) has looked at many old saroops and has put the most consistent spelling in there.
