The Prince, chen, began to amuse himself by discharging a fine stream of water from gold syringes over some of the bold young girls who were sitting on swans with a feeling of pride and slight fear By the rise of the curruut of water like the approach of rains from deuse clouds, all the lotuses in the lake appeared to be be drowned as if conquered by the charm of the beauty of the faces of these young girls. After doing a number of amusing sports in water, the Prince accompanied by young females of his barem, came out of the lake and went into his dwellingpiace there.
With the setting of the crest-jewel of the sky-the Sunlotus-flowers became closed with the wrath of affectionate women, the pairs of Thall Cakravāka birds became separated with the separation of pairs during day-time; owls began to roam about joyfully like unchaste women; birds accomodated themselves in their individual places like ascetics who have taken a vow of silence ); terrible darkness spread like the army of evil spirits, and lamps of evening-time appeared every where like Gods of Love,

He passed many days in amusing himself uninterruptedly in this way, in the pleasure-garden.
