English meaning
Seeing Shyāmasundara dressed up as a lady-tattooist, a friend of Rādhā says to Her, “Oh Kishorī Jī! Today, I have seen an extremely lovely lady-tattooist in bower-lanes of Braja. And as soon as I saw Her, I sacrificed myself on Her. Kishorī Jī! I was not the only one to be captivated by Her but every maiden who saw Her lost her heart to Her. The rays of the gems studded in Her ornaments were scintillating so brightly that innumerable moons could be sacrificed on them! She was walking with the gait of an intoxicated she-elephant. The lustre in Her body was sparkling like lightning!” In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, hearing the above-mentioned qualities of the lady-tattooist, Kishorī Jī, proud of Her own virtues, invited the lady-tattooist in Her palace.
