Ghee-laked, with honeyed banks, with surā-waters—filled with milk, with water, with curds: let all these streams come nigh to thee, swelling with honeyed sweetness in the heavenly world; let lotus-pools stand about thee on every side.
Mit Seen aus Ghee, mit honigsüßen Ufern, mit surā-Wassern; gefüllt mit Milch, mit Wasser, mit Dickmilch (dadhi): Mögen all diese Ströme zu dir herankommen, im Himmelsreich von honigsüßer Fülle anschwellend; mögen die Lotos-Teiche (puṣkariṇī) dich ringsum umstehen.
