Translation
Lord Brahmā, who is worshiped by the brāhmaṇas, has very mercifully given you to me, and that is why I have met you. I do not want to give up your company, for my mind and eyes are fixed upon you and cannot be drawn away. O woman with beautiful raised breasts, I am your follower. You may take me wherever you like, and your friends may also follow me.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
I will not leave you since you have been given by Brahmā. My mind and eyes cannot leave you. O woman with beautiful, raised breasts! You should lead me wherever you want. May your favorable friends follow me!
He fears that she will say, “What is the benefit for me in obeying you? I am going now.” He speaks. I will not give you up since you are given by Brahmā. My mind and eyes do not leave you. O person with beautiful horns! Woman with raised breasts! Addressing her in the feminine indicates that that his attempt to conceal his feelings has been destroyed by his lust. You should take me wherever you like. May your favorable (śivāḥ) friends follow me!
Purport
Now Āgnīdhra frankly admits his weakness. He was attracted to Pūrvacitti, and therefore before she could say “But I have no business with you,” he expressed his desire to be united with her. He was so attracted that he was ready to go anywhere, hell or heaven, in her company. When one is absorbed in lust and the influence of sex, one surrenders to the feet of a woman without reservations. Śrīla Madhvācārya remarks in this connection that when one engages in joking and talking like a crazy person, one may say anything and everything, but his words will be meaningless.
