Translation

“The beauty of her moonlike face must be enhanced by her curling locks of hair and her eyes must be blissfully closed out of an all-consuming greed to drink the nectar of Kṛṣṇa’s lips.”

Commentary

“That charming lover’s moonlike face must look even more beautiful with her locks of hair moving to and fro. She must be drinking the nectar of Kṛṣṇa’s lips as they make love. Completely immersed in the joy of union, she keeps her eyes closed and plays kapaöa-nidrä, acting as if in slumber.”
