Rolling their eyes that look like arrows soaked in evil poison, they smear a paste of several herbs with turmeric on their face. The swinging studs move back and forth on their ears close to the hair while the other ornaments sway on the top. The breasts of these whores have the lustre of marble and look like pots filled with nectar.

They are capable of flirting with charming lisps. They move about hither and thither on the streets like cuckoos, deliberately dropping their upper garment, with their waist caving in and moving their feet in rhythm as though they are dancing dolls. With intense liaison with these whores,

The celestials in submission to you sing Your glory hailing You as the Lord who mounts with Your feet the horse-like vehicle, namely the peacock with plumes, and as the Great master with a fund of knowledge.

She not only obtained bliss by winning Your reddish lotus-like hand but She also stole Your heart; She is VaLLi, the beautiful damsel of the KuRavAs; along with her, You also revel in the company of the wonderful celestial maid, DEvayAnai,
