The two goddesses adorned themselves with blue lotus-like earrings, as if they wanted to measure the excessive length of their eye-shaped lotuses against each other. ||8|| They were adorned with strands of hair that hung down from their foreheads, resembling sapphires set on the edge of a golden band. ||89|| People compared their loose garlands, hanging down, to a black snake swallowing a white snake and then spitting it out again. ||10|| Thus, with their naturally sweet and beautiful forms, adorned with ornaments, they shone like radiant Kalpa creepers. ||11|| Seeing their beautiful form, people thought that they had truly conquered the celestial nymphs who considered themselves women. ||12|| The best of husbands, Vrishabhadeva, was adorned by them, as if by fame and fortune, and they met him like great rivers meeting the ocean. ||13|| They were beautiful, radiant, and lovely, like the banner of Kamadeva, who desired to conquer the entire world, and thus they stole the heart of Vrishabhadeva. ||14|| Just as a radiant ruby set in the middle makes the middle part of the garland red, so too did Vrishabhadeva, with his excellent radiance and desire, delight the minds of those goddesses. ||15|| Although Kamadeva had been humiliated many times in front of Vrishabhadeva, he continued to move secretly. Scholars should consider the reason for this. ||16|| It seems that Kamadeva was unable to openly obstruct the Lord, so he took on a formless state. This is appropriate, because those who desire victory are full of many strategies. ||17||
