Translation

Śukadeva Gosvāmī continued: The demigods, the demons, the Uragas [serpentine demigods], the Siddhas, the Gandharvas, the Vidyādharas and many highly elevated sages constantly offer prayers to the Lord. Because He is intoxicated, the Lord looks bewildered, and His eyes, appearing like flowers in full bloom, move to and fro. He pleases His personal associates, the heads of the demigods, by the sweet vibrations emanating from His mouth. Dressed in bluish garments and wearing a single earring, He holds a plow on His back with His two beautiful and well-constructed hands. Appearing as white as the heavenly King Indra, He wears a golden belt around His waist and a vaijayantī garland of ever-fresh tulasī blossoms around His neck. Bees intoxicated by the honeylike fragrance of the tulasī flowers hum very sweetly around the garland, which thus becomes more and more beautiful. In this way, the Lord enjoys His very magnanimous pastimes.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

The devatās, the demons, the Uragas, the Siddhas, the Gandharvas, the Vidyādharas and sages meditate on this form. His eyes rolling about constantly in exuberant joy, he pleases his associates, the leaders of the devatās, by the sweetness of his graceful words. He has a blue cloth, one earring, a plow on his shoulder, and well-placed arms. He wears a gold strap and a garland made beautiful by the sweet singing of bees intoxicated by the fragrant honey from fresh tulasī with unfading hue. Performing numerous pastimes, he appears like Indra’s white elephant. He pleases the devotees with his charming (sulalita) sweet words. Kakṣām means a strap.
