His buttocks were like banks because of their width. His hips were wide. Karabha means the outer portion of the hand from the wrist to the little finger. This means his thighs were thick and gradually tapered downwards. Words like anvitam and saṁyutam (endowed with) indicate the great beauty of these limbs. He had tender toes, pink like a lotus petal. The literal express “the petals of his fresh toes” indicates their extreme tenderness. Since the description is not always in order, it is understood that his eyes wandered because he was agitated with greed.

His buttocks were like banks because of their width. His hips were wide. Karabha means the outer portion of the hand from the wrist to the little finger. This means his thighs were thick and gradually tapered downwards. Words like anvitam and saṁyutam (endowed with) indicate the great beauty of these limbs. It was not just some collection or combination of items. O king! Śukadeva expresses joy in describing the lotus feet of the Lord, which give life to the devotees. Or he expresses fixing this description in his mind. The word nava indicates the beauty of his toes or the underside of his toes, pink like a new petal. Or nava modifies dala (fresh petals). The description starts with his face and ends with his feet. Though other limbs are not mentioned, they are understood to be beautiful also. Since his face was beautiful, his forehead and chin were beautiful. Since his smile was beautiful, his teeth were more beautiful than kunda flowers. Since his arms were long and well shaped, his hands were also well shaped. After describing his lips, his arms, his chest and then his neck are described. The order is according to where Akrūra’s glance fell, noting the particular beauty.
