O King, as the demigods and demons sat facing east in an arena fully decorated with flower garlands and lamps and fragrant with the smoke of incense, that woman, dressed in a most beautiful sari, Her ankle bells tinkling, entered the arena, walking very slowly because of Her big, low hips. Her eyes were restless due to youthful pride, Her breasts were like water jugs, Her thighs resembled the trunks of elephants, and She carried a waterpot in Her hand.
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
O King! As the devatās and demons sat facing east in an arena fully decorated with flower garlands and lamps, and fragrant with incense, that woman, dressed in a most beautiful sari, her ankle bells tinkling, entered the arena, walking very slowly because of her large hips. Her eyes were restless due to youthful pride, her breasts were like water jugs, and her thighs were slender. She carried the pot in her hand. Instead of uśad another version has lasad. According to Amara-koṣa the word karabha means the length from the wrist to the root of the little finger.
