Sajali Syama Vinodini Radhe
AI-drafted translation — pending review
Radha, adorned and playful, dark and lovely -- she joins the waves of delight, colorful with passion, moving to the rhythm that enchants even Madana.
Her charming feet, reddened with lac-dye, shame the khanjana bird; her anklets tinkle; clad in a blue garment, her jeweled little bells ring out; her graceful gait surpasses the elephant's, her waist so slender.
Her golden, cup-like breasts, thief-like firm buds, are strung with brilliant pearl necklaces; her two steady arms are adorned like lightning with jewels; as her bracelets jingle, Kama himself starts in astonishment.
Her charming smile pours forth nectarean sweetness; the radiance of her teeth outshines pearls; jeweled earrings sway on her lovely cheeks; her eyes, like rows of arrows, fill the ten directions.
Her braided hair falls low, curling locks upon her brow, her eyebrows bent like Kama's own bow; Govinda Dasa holds fast in his heart this supreme goddess of beauty and adornment.
