TRANSLATION
The goddesses of fortune worship the Lord in their own gardens by offering  tulasī  leaves on the coral-paved banks of transcendental reservoirs of water. While offering worship to the Lord they can see on the water the reflection of their beautiful faces with raised noses, and it appears that they have become more beautiful because of the Lord's kissing their faces.
PURPORT
Generally, when a woman is kissed by her husband, her face becomes more beautiful. In  Vaikuṇṭha  also, although the goddess of fortune is naturally as beautiful as can be imagined, she nevertheless awaits the kissing of the Lord to make her face more beautiful. The beautiful face of the goddess of fortune appeared in ponds of transcendental crystal water when she worshiped the Lord with  tulasī  leaves in her garden.
