1. המלווים אמרו: ראה כיצד האגם משקף את עצמו כמו על פסגת הר! הנה מה שצועד לפני מָאָרַה (אל האהבה), מוקף בעופות מרהיבים המשמיעים צלילים מתוקים בין גבעולי הלוטוס הלבן, הלוטוס האדום והלוטוס הכחול.

Its appearance is further enhanced by the glimmers of dust-like particles (pollen or mist) that have arisen from water-born elements and are stirred by clouds.

21. Since even Lakshmi (lakṣmī), who resides on Viṣṇu's (Hari) chest, holds a lotus (kamala) in her hand purely for aesthetic appeal, what other greater aspiration could possibly exist?

45. Like the moon in the sky, from the swan gracefully gliding for a long time in calm water, by its unwavering pecks that grasp lotus stalks without disturbing them, here, water drops fall from a lotus petal. These drops, pure like the waters of the Ganges and originating from above Brahma's abode, are quickly and joyfully drunk by the aquatic creatures.
45. כפי שהירח נע בשמיים, כך פוסע האווז הַמְסָה בשקט במימים הנעימים; מחיכוך כתפיו בגבעולי הלוטוס ניתזות טיפות מים מעלי הלוטוס כמו מי גַנְגָה, ויצורי המים שותים אותן בשמחה ובמהירות.
