Word breakdown
- शरच्चंद्रबिंबाननं चारुहासं लसत्कुण्डलाक्रांतगण्डस्थलांतम् ।
- Face like the autumn-moon disc, charming smile, swinging earrings reaching to the cheeks.
- जपारागबिंबाधरं कञ्जनेत्रं परब्रह्मलिङ्गं भजे पाण्डुरङ्गम् ॥५॥
- Lips red as the hibiscus globe, lotus eyes: I worship Panduranga, the emblem of supreme Brahman.
The moon-like face and lotus eyes are meditations that steady the mind on beauty without grasping. Every lovely feature praised here turns attention from fleeting appearance toward the changeless bliss that shines through it.
