Verse 10

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥

In plain words

Though touched with dust, they dwell only in the hearts of those free of passion; though deep red, as if attached, they are the one refuge of the dispassionate; though they always walk slowly, the slow cannot reach them. So Kāmākṣī's feet stir a wave of wonder.

Word for word

In contact with rajas though, abiding of the rajas-less only in the heart; intensely by redness abiding though, the sole refuge of the virakta; unattainable for the slow, bearing though always slowness of gait; produces Kāmākṣī's foot-pair a wave of wonder.
