English translation
“O Kuṭilā (sister of Abhimanyu)! Your breasts a long like beans! Your nostrils are like those of a female frog! Your eyes are like old turtles. Your lips are like coals. Your stomach is like a drum. Who is there in this world that is more beautiful than you? By the strength of your good works, only you, among all the beautiful women of Vraja, have withstood the attraction of the flute.”
