English meaning
(Kishorī Jī has disguised Herself as a cowherd boy in order to deceive Ṭhākura Jī.) Today, Kishorī Jī is going to deceive Nandalāla. Therefore, She has put on a peacock-feathered crown and has applied saffron tilaka on Her forehead. She is clad in yellow, and is carrying a stick in Her hand. Guñjamālā and vanamālā are embracing Her neck. She has let Her hair loose, has worn big dangling earrings, and is playing melodiously on a flute. A beautiful kāchhanī is adorning Her waist and She is even walking in the playful style of Nandalāla. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “Thus disguised and calling Herself a cowherd boy of Barasānā, Kishorī Jī set out to deceive Nandalāla.”
