TRANSLATION

O beautiful woman, when you strike the bouncing ball against the
ground with your hand again and again, your lotus feet do not stay in one
place. Oppressed by the weight of your full-grown breasts, your waist
becomes fatigued, and your clear vision grows dull, as it were. Pray braid
your comely hair.

PURPORT

The demons observed beautiful gestures in the woman’s every step. Here
they praise her full-grown breasts, her scattered hair and her movements in
stepping forward and backward while playing with the ball. In every step
they enjoy her womanly beauty, and while they enjoy her beauty their
minds become agitated by sex desire. As moths at night surround a fire and
are killed,so the demons become victims of the movements of the ball-like
breasts of a beautiful woman. The scattered hair of a beautiful woman also
afflicts the heart of a lusty demon.
