caïcala-kuëòala-lalita-kapolä mukharita-rasana-jaghana-gati-lolä käpi madhuripuëä Translation “Her cheeks must be even lovelier when her earrings are swing ing. The tiny bells on the jewelled sash elegantly adorning her waist must be tinkling so sweetly as they shake about on her hips.” Commentary “It is only natural for her earrings to sway when she is competing in the game of love. Therefore the captivating countenance of her cheeks must have increased. The bells attached to the sash on her waist will be ringing continuously. They must seem to be very restless because her thighs are constantly in motion.”
