Translation
When the followers of the demigods gazed upon the fascinating mystic beauty of the women created by Nara-Nārāyaṇa Ṛṣi and smelled the fragrance of their bodies, the minds of these followers became bewildered. Indeed, upon seeing the beauty and magnificence of such women, the representatives of the demigods were completely diminished in their own opulence.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
When the followers of the devatās gazed upon the beauty of the women they became bewildered by their fragrance. The wealth of their splendid beauty was defeated.
