(11) jo tiā ahararāo rattim uvvasio piaamena / so ccia disai gose savattinaanesu samkamto // (11-6) The red colour she had put to her lovely lips Was wiped off the previous night by her spouse; But the next morn she, the buoyant, did find it In the co-wives' eyes as fully reflected!
(12) kamalāarā na maliā hamsa uddaviā na a piuccha / kena vi gāmatadāc abbham uttāniam chūdham // (11-10) Of the lutus-beds none is crushed not faded: Amongst the numerous swans not one is fled; In our village lake, O my paternal aunt, The sky is thrown supine by some gallant!
(13) ajja vi valo Damoaro iti ia jampie Jasoae / Kanhamuhapesiaccham nihuam hasiam vaavahūhim // (11-12) Fonding her son warmly mother Yasodā said: “My Damodara is a child even to this day.” The gopis hidden aside cast mutual looks And wondering smiles as they looked askance!
(14) naccanasalāhananihena pāsaparisamthiä nivunagovi / sarigoviāņa cumvai kavolapadimāgaam Kanham // (II- 14) Feigning to appreciate the dancing gopis, there Gently advances another gopi artful and clever, And while whispering praises, she also kisses Krsna's image mirrored on their glossy chceks!
