te hemavikacā bhūmau yutāḥ parvatadhātubhiḥ | vyarājañ chākhinas tatra sūryāṃśupratirajjitāḥ ||

Translation

Those trees, bearing blossoms of gold, had fallen upon the earth and become mingled with the mountain-minerals (such as red ochre). There, their branches shone brilliantly, as though dyed and illuminated by the sun’s rays—an image of nature’s splendor arising even amid upheaval and descent.
