Translation

“His forehead bears a captivating tilaka. Its indescribable lustre defeats the immense beauty of a restless moon amidst a multitude of fresh rainclouds. I simply go on remembering how cruel-hearted Kṛṣṇa is always fond of inflicting pain upon the invaluably precious nipples of the most qualified young ladies’ large breasts with his own chest, which is as broad and solid as a door.”

Commentary

“The beauty of the restless moon amidst fresh rainclouds is a spectacle to behold. The dark screen of Kṛṣṇa’s broad forehead is like a fresh raincloud and thereupon his white sandalwood paste tilaka rebukes the pleasing effect of the moon’s brilliant rays. I vividly remember how Kṛṣṇa mercilessly grinds his broad chest against the tender breasts of young ladies without respite at the time of their amorous union.”
