English Translation

नीलाञ्जनचयप्रख्यम् like a black mountain of collyrium, उरसि on the chest, राजता by the illumining, हारेण with a pearl necklace, पूर्णचन्द्राभवक्त्रेण with a face like the fullmoon, बलाकम् with cranes around, अम्बुदमिव like a cloud.

English Commentary

He was like a black mountain of collyrium, and with a face like the fullmoon. With a pearl necklace illumining his chest he appeared like a cloud lit up by the fullmoon with white cranes flying across. (The white pearlnecklace moving on his chest appeared like a row of cranes flying through the black cloud.)
