WORD BY WORD



TRANSLATION

Trivakrā prepared herself by bathing, anointing her body, and dressing in fine garments, by putting on jewelry, garlands and perfume, and also by chewing betel nut, drinking fragrant liquor, and so on. She then approached Lord Mādhava with shy, playful smiles and coquettish glances.

PURPORT

It is clear from this verse that the ways a woman prepares for sexual enjoyment have not changed in thousands of years.
