English Scholarly Translation
He who meditates on, The luster of your beautiful body, Which is blessed by the rising sun, And which dissolves the sky and the world, In light purple hue, Makes celestial damsels like Uravasi and others, Who have eyes like the wild startled deer, Follow him like slaves. 18
