Word breakdown
- सुनासापुटं सुन्दरभ्रूललाटं
- With beautiful nostrils, lovely brows and forehead,
- किरीटोचिताकुञ्चितस्निग्धकेशम्
- with curled, smooth locks befitting the crown,
- स्फुरत्पुण्डरीकाभिरामायताक्षं
- with long eyes charming as blooming lotuses,
- समुत्फुल्लरत्नप्रसूनावतंसम्
- with crest of fully blossomed jeweled flowers.
The beautiful face with lotus eyes and jeweled crest is the form in which the formless Lord becomes visible to devotion. To see beauty in the divine image is to train the mind to recognize the same splendor as one's own inner light.
