Translation

Verse 1

Placing Lord Viśvambhara on a throne, His friends dress Him with splendid garments and ornaments. How many blisses fill His friends' hearts?

Verse 2

They anoint His limbs with fragrances and sandal paste. On His graceful forehead they place tilaka. Who amongst them is not overcome?

Verse 3

They tie His graceful curly hair. With joyful hearts they place a sweet jasmine garland upon Him.

Verse 4

On His ears they place earrings, earrings that glisten on cheeks that take away the pride the glistening mirrors feel.

Verse 5

On His neck they place a jewel necklace, a necklace that gracefully swings to and fro on His chest. Who can describe it with metaphors and similes?

Verse 6

On His wrists and arms they place bracelets and armlets. On His fingers someone places rings. They peacefully gaze at his face.

Verse 7

The place a golden-link belt about His slender waist, a waist that defeats even the lion's graceful waist. With unblinking eyes they gaze at Him.

Verse 8

They dress Him in a garment with a red border. The whole world yearns to see Him in His glorious garments and ornaments. Narahari gazes at His graceful glory.
