vitata-bahu-valli-nava-pallava-ghane
vilasa ciram alasa-péna-jaghane
praviça rädhe!...

Translation

“Your movements are slowed down by the heavy burden of your buxom hips. Enter into this secluded pastime-bower, which is densely covered with the new leaves of its flourishing vines. Approach Mädhava and relish pastimes with him.”

Commentary

“Your hips move slowly because they are so broad. And this nikuïja has also expanded into a mass of flourishing vines. Its density has increased with the addition of newly sprouted leaves. Therefore, go inside and revel in pleasure with your most beloved Shri Kṛṣṇa for a long time because no one will be able to see you.”
