शिशिरे च सरोजानि विकासं प्रापुरेव हि । ववौ च सुरभिर्वायुर्दाक्षिणात्यः सुकामदः
śiśire ca sarojāni vikāsaṃ prāpureva hi | vavau ca surabhirvāyurdākṣiṇātyaḥ sukāmadaḥ
Même en la saison froide, les lotus s’ouvrirent en pleine floraison; et une brise méridionale, suave et parfumée, charma les sens et éveilla le désir.
Narrator (contextual)
Type: kund
Scene: A winter lakeside where lotus ponds bloom unexpectedly; soft southern breeze ripples the water; pilgrims’ hermitage nearby; atmosphere of fragrant, sensuous auspiciousness.
