TRANSLATION

As the queens squirted water from syringes at their brothers-in-law and other male companions, their own garments became drenched, revealing their arms, breasts, thighs and waists. In their excitement, the flowers fell from their loosened braids. By these charming pastimes they agitated those with contaminated consciousness.


PURPORT

Śrīla Prabhupāda writes, "Such behavior between pure males and females is enjoyable, but persons who are materially contaminated become lustful."
