Mandakranta (lady slowly approaching) is referred to as a "slow stepper" and is said to employ erotic mysticism. This Sanskrit stanzaic form is often a poem of love, sexual pleasure and spirituality.
‘O God, the lord of this world, the shining one.
I recall with my mind the feet of Ramacandra.
like the crescent of the risen moon.
You (clouds) are filled with water;
they (buildings) have bejeweled floors.
You are at lofty heights; they kiss the skies.
