The water, which is considered acceptable by the fish, is as cool as the work of others. Where (in the lakes) the lotus has adorned itself with its thorns, as if it has donned the covering of an upper garment (dupatta). That (covering) is long, terrifying with yellow, pricking people, hidden in the water, and is as fickle as the wings of falling peacocks, having attained development and coming out of the shell. Where many cattle eat barley, kangu, and mung, then leave the grass behind, tell me who does not cover his faults with virtues. Wherever there are bumblebees, they do not eat Lakshmi there. Where the cowherds drink nectar and sleep on beds of rose flowers. Where it is adorned with the collection of the collyrium of the eyes of anger.
The parrot, who is about to do something, has struck the cluster of mango flowers with its beak. Where the flat highway is flying with leaf-wind, golden, mixed with pollen of flowers, it seems to me, the poet (Pushpadanta), that it is adorned. Dust is spreading on it from the feet of vehicles. Where horses are being driven by grooms, as if the sky-like Lakshmi, wearing a jewel-studded crown, has put on a garment of silk. ||13||
Just as ignorant people are deceived by false doctrines. Elephants are being tamed by mahouts, just as 14
Snakes are being tamed by snake charmers. Elephants and horses are being stopped by riders, just as disciples are stopped by disappointed teachers. Mules are being taught the word of education, as if they are learning to make the unspoken sound of work, which is considered acceptable by the sages, virtues, and education. Where the land is giving such vows from the fields of ripe grain.
