TRANSLATION

"'Her eyes are enchanted by the beauty of Lord Kṛṣṇa, the enemy of Kaḿsa. Her body thrills in pleasure at His touch. Her ears are always attracted to His sweet voice, Her nostrils are enchanted by His fragrance, and Her tongue hankers for the nectar of His soft lips. She hangs down her lotuslike face, exercising self-control only by pretense, but She cannot help showing the external signs of Her spontaneous love for Lord Kṛṣṇa.'

PURPORT

Thus Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī describes the countenance of Rādhārāṇī.
