Chapter 1 Text 169

balad aksnor laksmih kavalayati navyam kuvalayam
mukhollasah phullam kamala-vanam ullanghayati ca
dasam kastam astapadam api nayaty angika-rucir
vicitram radhayah kim api kila rupam vilasati

TRANSLATION
“‘The beauty of Srimati Radharani’s eyes forcibly devours the beauty of newly grown blue lotus flowers, and the beauty of Her face surpasses that of an entire forest of fully blossomed lotuses. Her bodily luster seems to place even gold into a painful situation. Thus the wonderful, unprecedented beauty of Srimati Radharani is awakening in Vrndavana.’
