Streams containing lotuses with their leaves shrivelled, have their waters stained; and lotuses have their leaves burnt; and fished and (aquatic) birds have grown lean. And flowers both on land and water have been deprived of their freshness and fragrance; and they no longer retain their former condition.
लीनपुष्करपत्राश्च नद्यश्च कलुषोदकाः। संतप्तपद्माः पद्मिन्यो लीनमीनविहंगमाः॥ जलजानि च पुष्पाणि माल्यानि स्थलजानि च। नातिभान्त्यल्पगन्धीनि फलानि च यथापुरम् ॥
