Paragraph 39

In plain words

The Kali temple has become an abode of joy. Daily worship of Radhakanta, Bhavatarini and Mahadeva, food offerings, and the service of guests. On one side, the holy sight of the Bhagirathi stretching far away. On the other, a lovely flower garden, heavy with fragrance and bright with blossoms of every colour. And in it, a living man who is drunk with the love of God by day and by night. The Blissful Mother's festival never ends. From the nahabat the ragas sound all day long: once at dawn, at the time of the morning worship; then at nine, when the worship begins; then at midday, when after the food offering and arati the deities go to rest; then again at four, when the nahabat plays while they rise from their rest and wash their faces; then at the evening arati; and last, at nine at night, when after the light night offering the deities are laid to sleep, the nahabat plays once more.
