English Meaning
Here appear beautifully the lake Pampā of transparent water, filled with blue and fragrant lotuses, swans and Kõrandavas and abounding in red lotuses like to the virgin rays of the sun and having their filaments crushed by the bees. And the beautiful woods around the lake have been manifesting their beauty, filled with Cakravākas and the herds of elephants and deer desirous of drinking water.
