37 passagesनवैर्नदीनां कुसुमप्रहासै- र्व्याधूयमानैर्मृदुमारुतेन। धौतामलक्षौमपटप्रकाशैः कूलानि काशैरुपशोभितानि॥ ५१॥
The banks of the rivers are adorned with fresh, flower-like smiles, shaken by the gentle breeze, and with reeds whose brightness resembles a spotless silk cloth washed clean.
वनप्रचण्डा मधुपानशौण्डाः प्रियान्विताः षट्चरणाः प्रहृष्टाः। वनेषु मत्ताः पवनानुयात्रां कुर्वन्ति पद्मासनरेणुगौराः॥ ५२॥
The delighted six-footed bees, fierce in the forest, skilled in drinking honey and accompanied by their beloveds, intoxicated in the woods, follow the wind’s course; they are pale or golden like the pollen of the lotus-seat.
जलं प्रसन्नं कुसुमप्रहासं क्रौञ्चस्वनं शालिवनं विपक्वम्। मृदुश्च वायुर्विमलश्च चन्द्रः शंसन्ति वर्षव्यपनीतकालम्॥ ५३॥
The clear water, the blossoming of flowers, the cry of the cranes, the ripened rice-fields, the gentle wind, and the spotless moon proclaim that the time of the rains has passed.
मीनोपसंदर्शितमेखलानां नदीवधूनां गतयोऽद्य मन्दाः। कान्तोपभुक्तालसगामिनीनां प्रभातकालेष्विव कामिनीनाम्॥ ५४॥
Today the movements of the river-women, whose fish reveal their girdles, are slow, as if they were women moving languidly in the morning after being enjoyed by their beloveds.
सचक्रवाकानि सशैवलानि काशैर्दुकूलैरिव संवृतानि। सपत्ररेखाणि सरोचनानि वधूमुखानीव नदीमुखानि॥ ५५॥
The river mouths, containing chakravaka birds and water moss, are covered as though with silk garments made of reeds; marked with leaf-like lines and saffron, they resemble the faces of brides.
