Fresh English translation
[76] Gazing upon the maiden's curling pendant earrings, which delight eye and ear, I shall drink in their beauty, become happy in every pore, and be unable to speak. [77] On what auspicious day shall I behold, heart surging, that mass of joy—the pure, fragrant, rasa-filled, curled and dark hair? [78] Hair ornaments grace the lovely parting and the artful coiffure, a treasury of arts; sweetly strung pearl-jewels are the source of the Beloved's love. [79] Seeing the excellent, clear, softly gleaming beauty of Śrī Svāminī's hair, I shall be stolen away into the passion of adornment. [80] O fate, when will my restless heart become specially entangled among those chains of curls and remain trapped there, unblinking and of one taste? [81] When shall I become absorbed while seeing the graceful moonlike glitter of the lovely crown—the relishable head-ornament of the beautiful dark sovereign? [82] Seeing the head covered by the radiant, fragrance-steeped sari, I shall repeatedly offer up the whole company of body, mind, and senses. [83] I shall keep the movement of mind and understanding amid the nectar-soaked flashing of Śrī Pyārī's sari, like a child of affection held close. [84] Is Śrī Sītā Svāminī's wrap perhaps a garden of love, flowering with blossoms, wisdom's fruit, and the rightly gained reward of sight? [85] Seeing the Couple's lovely beauty, I shall offer up every charming comparison: cloud and lightning, campaka sapling and young tamāla tree, and a garland of jewels. [86] Delighted by the clever gait of the Young Couple's feet, which gives the eyes supreme love, I shall laugh at every comparison and my sight will find peace.
