After offering obeisance to Shri Kṛṣṇa in the previous song, Shri Jayadeva has recited the present verse to benedict the audience. Padmä-payodhara-taöé – When Kṛṣṇa embraces his dearest beloved, the vermillion cosmetic (kuìkuma-keçara) that was smeared down to her nipples melts and makes an imprint of her breast upon Bhagavän’s chest. His heart is always coloured by deep attachment (anuräga) to Rädhä and his affection for her is incomparable. The words payodhara-taöé indicate that Rädhä’s full breasts are highly raised and that her nipples resemble the peak of a mountain surrounded by uneven terrain. Parirambha-lagna-käçméra – The print of Rädhä’s breasts on Kṛṣṇa’s chest indicates their immersion in a prolonged embrace. Mudritam uro – The image of Rädhä’s bosom on Kṛṣṇa’s chest has been printed like a seal of approval. The beauty of his chest is enhanced immeasurably by this display of love. Oh, how virtuous is their excessive affection.
