meaning for a sentence in the song "Srungara Lahari"

Post by laya2 »

Hi,

For this song "Srungara Lahari" , for the line "vadana shashi kaLankita mrgamada tilakE" this is the translation "She whose face is like the moon with its stain ,
One who wears Thilaka of Musk"

This song describes the beauty of Parvathy. What does it mean by whose face is like the moon with its stain. What does stain mean here. Can somebody explain.

This composer of this song is "Lingaraj Urs"

Thank you.

Thank you Mr. Lakshman.

But what does it literally mean "One with a kasturi-tilaka that is like the blemish on the moon-like face"

Can somebody be more specific on this line please.

thank you.
