Translation

Rukmiṇī appeared as enchanting as the Lord’s illusory potency, who enchants even the sober and grave. Thus the kings gazed upon her virgin beauty, her shapely waist, and her lovely face adorned with earrings. Her hips were graced with a jewel-studded belt, her breasts were just budding, and her eyes seemed apprehensive of her encroaching locks of hair. She smiled sweetly, her jasmine-bud teeth reflecting the glow of her bimba-red lips. As she walked with the motions of a royal swan, the effulgence of her tinkling ankle bells beautified her feet. Seeing her, the assembled heroes were totally bewildered. Lust tore at their hearts. Indeed, when the kings saw her broad smile and shy glance, they became stupefied, dropped their weapons and fell unconscious to the ground from their elephants, chariots and horses. On the pretext of the procession, Rukmiṇī displayed her beauty for Kṛṣṇa alone. Slowly she advanced the two moving lotus-whorls of her feet, awaiting the arrival of the Supreme Lord. With the fingernails of her left hand she pushed some strands of hair away from her face and shyly looked from the corners of her eyes at the kings standing before her. At that moment she saw Kṛṣṇa. Then, while His enemies looked on, the Lord seized the princess, who was eager to mount His chariot.

हिन्दी टीका-पाठ

परीक्षित्! रुक्मिणीजी भगवान्‌की मायाके समान ही बड़े-बड़े धीर-वीरोंको भी मोहित कर लेनेवाली थीं। उनका कटिभाग बहुत ही सुन्दर और पतला था। मुखमण्डलपर कुण्डलोंकी शोभा जगमगा रही थी। वे किशोर और तरुण-अवस्थाकी सन्धिमें स्थित थीं। नितम्बपर जड़ाऊ करधनी शोभायमान हो रही थी, वक्ष:स्थल कुछ उभरे हुए थे और उनकी दृष्टि लटकती हुई अलकोंके कारण कुछ चंचल हो रही थी॥ ५१॥
