Oh charming peacock-like (beautiful) damsel with the hips resembling the hood of a cobra! May You come (and join our fold).When we–Your kinswomen and friends –have come and entered the open front yard (without roof ) of Your house , and when we are singing (in chorus) the names of the Lord of dark cloud-like hue, what are you fast asleep for ,without even moving or giving any response, Oh rich and young girl ?
