English translation
Disturbance arising from enemies, from Lalita-mādhava:
“Here is the lowest demon Śaṅkhacūḍa, sturdy in body, with arms as long as tāla trees and chest as broad as a mountain plateau. What a match for the beautiful child resembling Cupid, soft as the bud of a new tamāla tree! Is
there no skillful person here to help us? O queen of Vraja, I cannot understand where all the results of your austerities have gone today.”
