English translation
An example:
“In some places, by His clearly visible lac-stained footprints, in other places
by the peacock feathers plundered from His headdress, in other places by beds strewn with discarded belts, by a multitude of disheveled groves and sand glowing with the evident marks of dancing in a circle—Vṛndāvan announces the manifold pastimes of Govinda.”
