Translation

Shri Kṛṣṇa is compelled by ecstatic emotions to adopt an angular pose, crooked in three places. His crown and earrings are swaying because of the way he tilts his neck to one side. Being situated in the midst of millions of attractive gopés, he has inspired them to meditate on the most provocative, swoon-inducing note of his flute song, as he stares steadily upon the enchanting and ambrosial lotus face of Shri Rädhä, simply to behold her excessive affection for him. May the countless waves of Shri Kṛṣṇa’s sidelong glance bestow auspiciousness upon all.
