Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma’s Forest Games and the Slaying of Pralamba

Devanagari script

सरित्सर:प्रस्रवणोर्मिवायुना कह्लारकुञ्जोत्पलरेणुहारिणा । न विद्यते यत्र वनौकसां दवो निदाघवह्न्यर्कभवोऽतिशाद्वले ॥ ५ ॥

Transliteration

sarit-saraḥ-prasravaṇormi-vāyunā kahlāra-kañjotpala-reṇu-hāriṇā na vidyate yatra vanaukasāṁ davo nidāgha-vahny-arka-bhavo ’ti-śādvale

Translation

湖や川の波の上を渡る風は、蓮や睡蓮などの花粉を運び去って一帯を冷やし、ヴリンダーヴァナ全域を涼やかにした。ゆえに住民は夏の烈日の熱や山火事の灼熱に悩まされず、瑞々しい青草が豊かに茂っていた。
