Translation
The Apsarā Puñjikasthalī made a show of playing with a number of toy balls. Her waist seemed weighed down by her heavy breasts, and the wreath of flowers in her hair became disheveled. As she ran about after the balls, glancing here and there, the belt of her thin garment loosened, and suddenly the wind blew her clothes away.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
While Puñjikasthalī, with waist bent over by the weight of her breasts, garlands falling from her hair, was playing with some balls, glancing here and there, and was chasing a ball, the wind blew her fine dress with its loose belt.
