Meghadoodham Part 6

If, through the blowing of the wind, the conflagration of its forests, produced by the friction of the pine trunks, and spread by the tails of the y&ks, should afflict him, you must cause it to be allayed by a thousand hard rain-showers; for to allay the pain of the afflicted is the fruit of those endowed by fortune.

The Sarabhas, not enduring thee when thundering, from excessive pride will try to leap over thee who art not to be surmounted, (merely) to break their own bodies. Confound them with the laughter of a loud clatter of hail and rain. For who, attempting a fruit¬less commencement, will not become an object of contempt ?

Being filled with wind the reed sounds sweetly. The victory over Tripara will be sung by inspired Kinnaris. If now thy rolling thunder like a drum sounds in the caverns, certainly the concert of Pasupati will be in a state of completeness.

To the Snowy Hills (Himalyas) skirt, progressing; go to that celebrated spot the Krauncha pass, the gate of the. Hansas, the fame path of Bhrigupati. Thence go to the northern region, in oblique direction, shining like the dark blue foot of Yishnu prepared for the humiliation of Bali.

Having soared upwards, be the guest of Mount Kailasa (whose high table-land joints were untied (were broken) by the arm of the ten-faced one), the look¬ing-glass of the goddesses, whose horn-elevation, like a water-lily, stands expanding into the heavens, like an accumulated burst of laughter of the three-eyed one, (reaching) to every region.

I anticipate that the mountain, white like a slice cut from a two-tusked elephant, (you, glittering like glossy powdered antimony, having ascended its sides,) will gain a lustre fit to be contemplated with a steady eye, like as if Halabrita has cast his dark blue garment on his shoulders.

If Gauri, after Sambha, having taken off her snake bracelet, and handed her (i.e., supported her), were to take a strolling walk on this pleasure mountain, making thy body into a structure of divisions (i.e., a ladder), compress its showers inside, and make thyself a staircase road, agreeable to .the touch of the feet in ascending.

As then, undoubtedly by the friction of the bracelets, as by thunderbolts, thy rain will be ejected, and the young goddesses will use thee as a shower-bath; if, 0 friend, seized by heat, thou art not able to escape from them, cause them when they are eager to frolick, to be frightened by thy grating thunder.

Imbibe the water of the golden lotus-giving (i.e., pro¬ducing) Manasa, and willingly for a moment give the head of Airavata the pleasure of a veil, shaking the leaves of the kalpa trees with a rain-dropping wind. Enjoy this, chief of mountains, whose crystal white¬ness is broken by thy beauty (i.e., surpassed).

On his lap, like on that of a loved one, you will cer¬tainly recognise Alaka with her Ganges dukula fallen down, having seen her, O thou who marchest at will. When thy time is arrived (i.e., the rains), her lofty palaces sustain a heap of water-vomiting clouds, like a loving woman with her curls arranged with a row of pearls.
