32. Alas, the wind blows! It is intoxicated by the honey-drinking activity within the lotus pond—a pond where the lotus-cups are adorned with water lilies and stirred by swarms of bees. The qualities of this wind, celebrated in song, are also manifested in the multitude of enchanting sounds it acquires from the dancing young leaves of the trees along the bank.
