Published English meaning — Dr. Bageeshwari Devi

<a id="line-10"></a>Describing the handsome broad chest of Shrī Kṛishṇa the rasika saint  
<a id="line-11"></a>says I adore the special majesty of Nandanandana’s chest. There is soft  
<a id="line-12"></a>moss-like hair on both sides of His chest. The soft hair on the right side  
<a id="line-13"></a>is known to all as the Shrī Vats mark. The left side is the eternal residing  
<a id="line-14"></a>place of His Divine consort Laxmi Devi. Between these two is the  
<a id="line-15"></a>external mark called Bhṛigupada which is the foot imprint of the sage  
<a id="line-16"></a>Bhṛighu. The Divine kāchhanī (silken cloth) tied around His waist in a  
<a id="line-17"></a>special style makes even the sons of Brahmā (Sanaka, Sanandana etc)  
<a id="line-18"></a>forget their trance. The sweet jingling sound of His waist-belt enhances  
<a id="line-19"></a>the beauty of His waist. The lustre of Shrī Kṛishṇa’s form is doubled by  
<a id="line-20"></a>the radiance of the jewels in His Divine ornaments.
