You, who, to fulfill the desire of the group of gods highly perturbed by the
un diminished arrogance of the demons, who (the demons) remained arrogant
even after the strain of churning the sea of milk, took the female form having
a face covered by lovely curls and radiating with very pleasant brightness
which would even win over the rays of the pleasant moon,

With perfectly fitting very fine clothes, breasts and the tempting side glance shook
the determination of Asuras (to get nectar for themselves), incapacitated their mind
and snatched the nectar, (you the) other form of Sri Hari, protect our eyes (our
sensory organs and thereby us) from being attracted towards evil.
