pleasing the offended Vaiṣṇava or  brāhmaṇa . This was the course that Durvāsā Muni had to follow, for he surrendered unto Mahārāja Ambarīṣa. A  vaiṣṇava-aparādha  cannot be atoned for by any means other than by begging the pardon of the offended Vaiṣṇava.

TRANSLATION
My dear wife, until this day I have never seen your face without tilaka decorations, nor have I seen you so morose and without luster or affection. Nor have I seen your two nice breasts wet with tears from your eyes. Nor have I ever before seen your lips, which are ordinarily as red as the bimba fruit, without their reddish hue.
PURPORT
Every woman looks very beautiful when decorated with  tilaka  and vermillion. A woman generally becomes very attractive when her lips are colored with reddish saffron or vermillion. But when one's consciousness and intelligence are without any brilliant thoughts about Kṛṣṇa, they become morose and lusterless, so much so that one cannot derive any benefit despite sharp intelligence.
