Đôi má xinh rạng ngời nhờ đôi khuyên tai vàng đung đưa; mũi cân xứng, và gương mặt đẹp được phủ bởi nụ cười kỳ diệu. Trên móng tay cát tường như hoa sen, sợi chỉ vàng nạm châu báu tinh khiết lóe sáng, lại được trang sức quanh bằng vàng.
Sanatkumāra (teaching to Nārada in descriptive narration)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: adbhuta (wonder)
Secondary Rasa: bhakti (devotion)
The verse uses auspicious bodily imagery—gold, jewels, lotus-like features, and a serene smile—to convey śrī (sacred splendor) and purity, supporting contemplative visualization used in dharmic and ritual contexts.
By focusing the mind on an attractive, auspicious, and serene divine-like form, the verse functions as a dhyāna-aṅga (aid to meditation), which stabilizes devotion through remembrance and reverent visualization.
It reflects lakṣaṇa-style description and disciplined imagery used alongside mantra and ritual visualization—supporting accurate recitation and contemplation (closely aligned with śikṣā/phonetics and kalpa/ritual application in practice).
