Published English meaning — Dr. Bageeshwari Devi

<a id="line-10"></a>Shyāmasundara’s eyes gaze unceasingly at the Divine beauty of Kishorī  
<a id="line-11"></a>Jī. The golden crown adorning Her head has a chandrikā in the centre.  
<a id="line-12"></a>A beautiful bandini (string of tiny pearls) delicately adorns Her forehead.  
<a id="line-13"></a>The stunning beauty of the bindī (red round mark) on Her forehead is  
<a id="line-14"></a>indescribable. It appears as if Hersakhis (friends) thinking Her face to  
<a id="line-15"></a>be the moon, have worshipped it with a special red flower. One curly  
<a id="line-16"></a>lock of Her hair hangs above Her eyebrows.This lock of hair appears to  
<a id="line-17"></a>be like a hook to entice and catch the fish in the form ofShyāmasundara’s  
<a id="line-18"></a>heart. Her large bright captivating eyes always charm and bewitch  
<a id="line-19"></a>Shyāmasundara. The saint poet Kṛipālu comments that Her beautiful  
<a id="line-20"></a>large eyes appear to be saying something into Her ears.
