Translation

The ‘blossoms of flowers’- which bear similarity to the oblation offered to the fire of separation of the women whose husbands are away from home are anxiously seen by the female cuckoo birds in the mango trees now Even so, robbing the enormous wealth of the fragrance of the freshly bloomed red flowers, these winds from the sandal wood forests blow hard and reduce the distress (smoke) hanging there. ॥ 84 ॥
