Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
At that time, Bali Mahārāja's wife, Vindhyāvali, who was decorated with a necklace of pearls, brought a golden pot of water for washing the Lord’s feet. Bali’s wife was extremely shy, unexposed even to the sun, but was unable to conceal her agitation because of joy. She shed tears of joy on understanding the firm bhakti of her husband. Thus, ignoring maidservants, she personally came carrying a pot out of the confines of her room. Some say that jālaka means jasmine buds and others say it means tender fruit with flowers. Amara-koṣa says that the neuter word means a net. Śrīdhara Svāmīs says it means a type of pearl necklace. She carried a pot full (bhṛtam) of water for washing his feet.
