ఆమె పెదవులు బంధుజీవ పుష్పాల వంటివి; ఆమె ప్రకాశవంతురాలు. ఆమె గోర్లు సిందువార పుష్పంలా అద్భుతమైనవి. ఆమె స్వరం పురుష కోకిల గానంలా దివ్యమైనది; అంకోల పుష్పాల అలంకారంతో శుభంగా ఉంది।

It operates as descriptive support within a māhātmya/narrative layer rather than a core pañcalakṣaṇa category; it is part of the Purāṇic method of teaching through evocative portrayal.
Bandhujīva (red) often signals vitality and auspicious love; cuckoo-song suggests sweetness and seasonal renewal; floral ‘wearing’ indicates the embodiment of śrī (prosperity/auspicious grace) through natural symbols.
