स्वादून्यमृतकल्पानि पेयानि विविधानि च । पिबमाना मनोज्ञानि रममाणा यथासुखम्,“अमृतके समान स्वादिष्ट और मनोहर भाँति-भाँतिके पेय रसोंका पान करती हुई तुम्हें जैसे सुख मिले, उसी प्रकार रमण करो

Vaiśampāyana nói: “Hãy uống muôn thứ đồ uống—ngọt như cam lộ, tựa amṛta, làm vui lòng tâm trí—và cứ tận hưởng theo cách nào đem lại cho nàng sự an nhàn, thoải mái.”

The narrator Vaiśampāyana describes someone being offered (or partaking of) many sweet, nectar-like drinks and enjoying them freely and comfortably, as part of the scene’s courtly or hospitable atmosphere.
