Verse 6

¹The cowherds told the women what those two had done, that astonishing thing, and how they had got free of the forest fire, and about the killing of Pralamba. ²The old cowherd men and the cowherd women heard it and were amazed, and thought that Krsna and Rama, come to Vraja, must be the best of the gods. ³Then the rains began, out of which every living thing comes, with lightning flashing all round the horizon and the floor of the sky breaking into thunder. ⁴The sky, hidden by thick dark clouds with lightning and thunder in them, its light no longer clear, looked like Brahman joined to the strands. ⁵The wealth of water he had drunk from the earth for eight months, Parjanya began to let go with his own rays, now that the time had come.

⁶The great clouds with lightning in them, shaken by the hard wind, let fall the water that gladdens this world and keeps it alive, as people give who feel pity.
