Published English meaning — Dr. Bageeshwari Devi

<a id="line-9"></a>A rasika saint beholding the love-intoxicated beautiful eyes of  
<a id="line-10"></a>Shrī Kṛishṇa surrenders his whole being and says. ‘Only  
<a id="line-11"></a>Shrī Vṛishabhānunandinī Rādhā experiences the special love-nectar of  
<a id="line-12"></a>these eyes. Shyāmasundara’s eyes have three different colours. The  
<a id="line-13"></a>centre is all white, the corners of His eyes are red and His pupils are  
<a id="line-14"></a>black. The eyelids on top obstruct the rasika saints from totally drowning  
<a id="line-15"></a>in the fathomless nectar-filled ocean of Divine Love. These eyelids rise  
<a id="line-16"></a>and fall repeatedly sometimes allowing the eyes to be seen and sometimes  
<a id="line-17"></a>concealing the love-nectar of these eyes from the gaze of the viewer.  
<a id="line-18"></a>The eyebrows on top appear to be the shape of the bow of Kāmadeva  
<a id="line-19"></a>(Cupid). Shyāmasundara mounts the arrow of His side-long loving glance  
<a id="line-20"></a>on His bow-like eyebrows and aims it at the desired goal. Even Lord  
<a id="line-21"></a>Shiva, wounded by this piercing loving glance helplessly transforms  
<a id="line-22"></a>himself to a female form (Shivānī) and falls unconscious in ecstasy  
<a id="line-23"></a>longing and sighing for Shyāmasundara.’
