Published English meaning — Dr. Bageeshwari Devi

<a id="line-8"></a>The rasika saints draw our attention to the beautiful blue arms of  
<a id="line-9"></a>Nīlamaṇi. These arms have been smeared with sandal paste. The gold  
<a id="line-10"></a>bracelets studded with precious stones around His wrist have a special  
<a id="line-11"></a>radiance that almost appears to be like lightening. The yellow colour  
<a id="line-12"></a>from His gold armlets attains a unique lustre mingling with the blue  
<a id="line-13"></a>colour of His arms. His soft palms are extremely red like the colour of a  
<a id="line-14"></a>red lotus. Nandalāla is holding the entrancing flute in His soft hands.  
<a id="line-15"></a>The rasika saints worship only this two-armed Shyāmasundara.
