Translation

“O woman with a radiant moon like face, the curving vine of your eyebrow overwhelms the hearts of young men. It resembles a female snake who even defeats the terrible influence of time itself. The intoxicating nectar flowing from your lips is the only siddha-mantra to dispel the fear created by your eyebrow.”
