Translation

“This passionate young woman, who is expert in tasting the flavours of sensual love, must look even more attractive when she is covered in droplets of perspiration from the exertion of her love-sports. She knows how to hold her patience during intercourse. How beautiful she must be when, thoroughly exhausted from the hard labour of making love, she finally collapses upon Kṛṣṇa’s chest.”

Commentary

“She must have become completely exhausted from her absorption in the energy of the god of lust. How her lotus face must be glistening with drops of perspiration from the hard exertion of making love. She is most skilful in sexual warfare. How astonishingly beautiful she must look now that she has fallen upon Kṛṣṇa’s chest.”
