sunandana tara mandara giri = causing extreme (tara) rejoicing (sunandana) on the mandAra (mandara) mountain (giri)
sundara (naTavara...) = the handsome (sundara) superlative (vara) dancer naTavara)
su-lalita vapuSa = extremely (vapusha) beautiful (su-lalita)

kalabha sharIrA = body (sharIrA) that is majestic as an elephant (kalabha)
sulabha sama naTana = one who is easily approachable (sulabha sama) when dancing (naTana)
vrajayuvati jana sumana ramita gambhIrA = the one with a profound character (gambhIrA) who kind-heartedly (sumana) roams (ramita) among the young women (yuvati jana) of brindAvan (vraja)

[rshankar]

Thank you, Smt. Savitri!

[dancerstas]

Thank you Rshankar is really very good translation.

[Rajani]

Nice translation, Ravi.

Some minor changes in my opinion:
su-lalita vapuSa = having a beautiful (su-lalita)body(vapusha)

gItAmRta rasikA = one who enjoys sweet nectar-like music
jalada apaghana = One who form(apaghana) resembles a cloud ( the same word is used by Tyagaraja as Indraneela mani-sannibha-apaghana)

calasama kOmala kusuma dala kalabha sharIrA = one whose body is soft(komala) sprout-like (cala-sama) and like the petal of the flower (kususma-dala) called Kalabha (black datura)

[rshankar]
