Translation

‘The sky covered by the clouds; sprouts filling the ground; the garden winds blowing with the fragrance of forest jasmines and Neepa flowers; the interiors of forests filled with the indistinct cries of peacocks pleasing the mind!’ All these invoke passion in a person whether he is happy (in the company of the beloved) or sad (being separated from the beloved)! ॥ 91 ॥
