dharu mana manamohana dhyāna re

English meaning

Oh mind! Meditate on Manamohana on whose head is beautified a yellow-coloured turban placed in a slanting fashion. Even the flutter of His pītāmbara is askew. The side-long glance of His eyes which gives joy to rasikas is also crooked and so are His arched eyebrows. His slanting beautiful neck, like that of a pigeon, is also bent on one side. His sweet smile is also askew. His besara too is skew and the pearl-necklace adorned on His chest is also circuitous. The kiṅkiṇī around His waist and the anklets embellished on His feet are also aslant. Even His flute is slanting. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “Up to what extent can I expound, Shyāmasundara’s gait, intellect, love - everything is oblique.”
