In plain words

The definitive conclusion is that these attributes are superimposed upon what is ultimately non-existent. Salutation to her who embodies supreme fulfillment. She is known as one who has attained divine play—not through any external motive, but purely out of her own inherent joy, expressed through the graceful moods of aesthetic sentiment appropriate to each occasion. Salutation to her who revels in divine sport. She is radiant with eternal youth, having transcended the mortal states of childhood, aging, and decay; as the scripture declares Brahman to be ageless, immortal, and fearless, she remains ever of one unchanging nature. Salutation to her who shines with perpetual youth. She is adorned with peerless beauty in every limb, possesses enchanting grace, overflows with divine love, is united eternally with her lord, and serves as the foundation for all sacred scriptures.

Close to the Sanskrit

That she is superimposed upon that which does not exist is the conclusion. Om, salutation to the one who has attained fullness. One who has obtained play: play is activity without another purpose or caused purely by one's own joy, or particular graceful postures at the time of accepting the nine sentiments like shringara appropriate to that time, is obtained by whom, she is thus. Om, salutation to the one who has obtained play. One radiant with attained youth: childhood is the state of modification involving existence, birth, growth; maturation is decline, destruction, and the subsequent state is old age; upon the negation of both those by the absence thereof, by implication youth is that which joins and goes, a youth is one of firm strength and valor, the state of that is youth, by the absence of both age conditions the state of single identity, that attained youth is obtained by whom, she is thus. By the Vedic text 'Ageless, immortal, fearless is Brahman', the intent is that she is always of one uniform nature. Om, salutation to the one radiant with attained youth. One who has attained supreme beauty in all limbs, one who has attained charming grace, one who has attained affection, one who has attained the lord, one who has attained the footing of various scriptures. One who has attained supreme beauty in all limbs: handsome and pleasing, the state of that is beauty, the beauty of all limbs is surpassing, attained in all limbs and all parts by whom, she is thus, as stated in the scriptures.
