Published English meaning — Dr. Bageeshwari Devi

<a id="line-10"></a>The graceful broad shoulders of Shyāmasundara have a special elegance.  
<a id="line-11"></a>They defeat even the pride of a lion’s shoulders in grace. Between His  
<a id="line-12"></a>shoulders is His blue cloud-like beautiful neck. Brilliance itself appears  
<a id="line-13"></a>to be pale in comparison to the radiance of the glittering kaustubhamaṇi  
<a id="line-14"></a>around His neck. There are necklaces of pearls and colourful precious  
<a id="line-15"></a>stones around His neck. Some necklaces adorn His chest and some go  
<a id="line-16"></a>right down to His waist. His banamālā (garland of forest flowers) along  
<a id="line-17"></a>with the various kinds of beautiful necklaces around His neck appear to  
<a id="line-18"></a>have the lustre of a rainbow. The fragrance from the five kinds of flowers  
<a id="line-19"></a>in His banamālā (pārijāta, kunda, mandāra, tulasī, etc) makes even Shiva  
<a id="line-20"></a>lose His trance.
