The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Viṣṇu, who can counteract any unfavorable situation, then assumed the form of an extremely beautiful woman. This incarnation as a woman, Mohinī-mūrti, was most pleasing to the mind. Her complexion resembled in color a newly grown blackish lotus, and every part of Her body was beautifully situated. Her ears were equally decorated with earrings, Her cheeks were very beautiful, Her nose was raised and Her face full of youthful luster. Her large breasts made Her waist seem very thin. Attracted by the aroma of Her face and body, bumblebees hummed around Her, and thus Her eyes were restless. Her hair, which was extremely beautiful, was garlanded with mallikā flowers. Her attractively constructed neck was decorated with a necklace and other ornaments, Her arms were decorated with bangles, Her body was covered with a clean sari, and Her breasts seemed like islands in an ocean of beauty. Her legs were decorated with ankle bells. Because of the movements of Her eyebrows as She smiled with shyness and glanced over the demons, all the demons were saturated with lusty desires, and every one of them desired to possess Her.

Because of the Supreme Lord’s assuming the form of a beautiful woman to arouse the lusty desires of the demons, a description of Her complete beauty is given here.

Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Eighth Canto, Eighth Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled “The Churning of the Milk Ocean.”

Translation
The Supreme Lord Viṣṇu, the knower of methods, then assumed the form of an extremely beautiful woman impossible to describe. She had a pleasing, dark complexion like a blue lotus and had beautiful limbs. Her ears were equally decorated with earrings, her cheeks were very beautiful, and her nose was raised. Her heavy breasts, perfectly round because of her youth, seemed to weaken her thin waist. Her eyes were agitated by humming bees attracted to the aroma of her face. Bearing a mass beautiful hair, she wore a garland of jasmine flowers. She had ornaments on her neck and bracelets on her arms. She had moving ankle bells enhanced by her splendid belt spread over her island-shaped buttocks covered by spotless cloth. Because of her glances, the movements of her eyebrows, and her shy smile, she aroused lust in the hearts of the leaders of the demons. Her waist seemed weakened by bearing the weight of her breasts, round because of her new youth. She was endowed with a mass of beautiful hair. She had beautiful moving ankle bells enhanced by her belt around her hips resembling islands, covered by pure cloth. She had playful glances with moving eyebrows, along with a shy smile. By that she aroused lust in the hearts of the leaders of the demons. Thus ends the commentary on the Eighth Chapter of the Eighth Canto of the Bhāgavatam for the pleasure of the devotees, in accordance with the previous ācāryas.
