[641*2
641*2) The swarm of bees having pursued the path of the parrot whose body is sprinkled with the stream of mango-blossom juice trickling from the tip of its beak, (now) roams about rich in fragrance.
641*3) Surely the Palāśa tree (as it were) devours in the spring season the flesh of lovers in separation from one another, and not being satisfied with that it burns their whole bodies with baked lime-powder (as it were).
641*4) These Sobhāñjanas which produce happiness for those who are already happy and which produce sorrow for those who are already plunged in sorrow, contribute to the beauty of the spring season.
68. The Section on the Rainy Season 652*1) The sky which is accompanied by snake-like lightning flashes, which is beautified by the skull-white female cranes briskly moving about, and which gives rise to the thunder of clouds comparable to the loud peals of laughter, has assumed a frightful appearance. [Also, the sky has become god Siva himself, who is accompanied by lightning-like flashing snakes (coiled round his body),who is beautified with a garland of dangling skulls comparable in their whiteness to female cranes and who indulges in dloud peals of laughter comparable to the thunder of clouds.)
