Verse 82

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥ ८२ ॥

In plain words

O Lady, your two thighs have already won both contests at once: the trunks of the great tuskers, and the whole grove of golden plantain stalks. And your knees, O daughter of the mountain, O you who know exactly how the rite is to be performed — perfectly round, gone hard from bowing again and again before your husband — your knees are the two temple-globes on the head of the elephant of the gods.

Close to the Sanskrit

Having utterly conquered both — the trunks of lordly elephants and the cluster of golden plantain stalks — with both your two thighs, O Lady; O daughter of the mountain, O knower of the rite, by your two knees, beautifully rounded and made hard by prostrations to your husband, you are the pair of frontal globes of the elephant of the gods.
