Translation

“I am helplessly remembering Shri Kṛṣṇa, whose entire body thrills with horripilation when he deeply embraces thousands upon thousands of youthful gopés with his arms as tender as flower petals. He illuminates all directions with sparkling beams emanating from the jewelled ornaments on his hands, feet and chest.”

Commentary

“Now I am remembering those arms of Çyämasundara, as soft as newly sprouted leaves. They are covered with severe horripilation as they encircle thousands of gopés and tightly embrace them. All darkness is dispelled by the rays of beauty emanating from the ornaments on his hands, feet and chest.”
