“With the beauty of the smile of the moon-face
Of the Moon of Vraja,
With the drops of the nectar of his speech,
With the fresh air from the palm-leaf fans
Spreading incense combined with his [bodily] fragrance,
And with food sprinkled with the sweetness of the nectar
Of beautifully eating together with him,
They [i.e., Nanda Mahārāja along with his brothers and all of their family members] deeply felt the most elevated delight,
Produced by the satisfaction of the five senses,
During the convivial evening meal.”
