vitrso 'pi pibanty ambhah

payayanto gaja gajih

yayoh-in both of which rivers; tat-snana-by the bathing of them (the damsels of the heavenly planets); vibhrasta-fallen off; nava-fresh; kuṅkuma-with kuṅkuma powder; pinjaram-yellow; vitrsah-not being thirsty; api-even; pibanti-drink; ambhah-the water; payayantah-causing to drink; gajah-the elephants; gajih-the female elephants.

TRANSLATION

After the damsels of the heavenly planets bathe in the water, it becomes yellowish and fragrant due to the kuṅkuma from their bodies. Thus the elephants come to bathe there with their wives, the she-elephants, and they also drink the water, although they are not thirsty.
