yayos tat-snāna-vibhraṣṭa-
nava-kuṅkuma-piñjaram
vitṛṣo 'pi pibanty ambhaḥ
pāyayanto gajā gajīḥ


SYNONYMS

yayoḥ—in both of which rivers; tat-snāna—by the bathing of them (the damsels of the heavenly planets); vibhraṣṭa—fallen off; nava—fresh; kuṅkuma—with kuṅkuma powder; piñjaram—yellow; vitṛṣaḥ—not being thirsty; api—even; pibanti—drink; ambhaḥ—the water; pāyayantaḥ—causing to drink; gajāḥ—the elephants; gajīḥ—the female elephants.


TRANSLATION

After the damsels of the heavenly planets bathe in the water, it becomes yellowish and fragrant due to the kuṅkuma from their bodies. Thus the elephants come to bathe there with their wives, the she-elephants, and they also drink the water, although they are not thirsty.
