Greed is generated from His lower lip, affection from His upper lip, bodily luster from His nose, animalistic lusty desires from His sense of touch, Yamarāja from His eyebrows, and eternal time from His eyelashes. May that Supreme Lord be pleased with us.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

May the Lord, who possesses great vibhūtis, from whose lower lip arose greed, from whose upper life arose affection, from whose nose arose beauty, from whose touch arose desire for benefiting animals, from his brows arose Yama and from whose eye lids arose time, be pleased with us! Upari means the upper lip. From the Lord’s nose arose beauty. From the Lord’s touch arose desire for benefiting animals (paśavyaḥ kāmaḥ).
