bharee-bharkam shareer vali stree


Explanation:
The same in Hindi (भारी-भरकम शरीर वाली स्त्री). The literal meaning of the "fattened cow" will not give the feel whereas this will draw a picture of a fat woman while reading.

bheemkaay stree


Explanation:
The fattened word is assoicated in India with the Bheema, who was one of the Pandava during Mahabharat Age. Hence "भीमकाय स्त्री (bheemkaay stree)" will give more appropriate meaning in-line with the context.
