Vainya’s Sacrifice and the Settlement of a Dharmic Dispute
क्षुब्धतोया महावेगा: श्वसमाना इवाशुगा: । सिन्धव: शोभयांचक्रु: काननानि तपात्यये,वर्षा-ऋतुकी नदियाँ बड़े वेगसे छूटनेवाले शीघ्र-गामी बाणोंकी भाँति सनसनाती हुई चलती थीं। उनके जलमें हिलोरें उठती रहती थीं और वे कितने ही काननोंकी शोभा बढ़ाती थीं
kṣubdhatoyā mahāvegāḥ śvasamānā ivāśugāḥ | sindhavaḥ śobhayāṃ cakruḥ kānanāni tapātyaye ||
Disse Vaiśampāyana: Ao fim do calor do verão, os rios—com as águas revoltas e as correntes poderosas—arremeteram com um sibilar como o de flechas velozes, erguendo onda após onda e realçando a beleza de muitos bosques na floresta.

The narrator describes the onset of the rainy season: rivers swell, surge loudly and swiftly, and their lively waters beautify the surrounding woodlands, setting the scene for events in the forest.
