गणाङ्गनानामनिशं मत्तानां चरणैर्हताः ।
अशोका इव राजन्ते यत्राशोका विलासिनः ॥ ६ ॥

gaṇāṅganānāmaniśaṃ mattānāṃ caraṇairhatāḥ |
aśokā iva rājante yatrāśokā vilāsinaḥ || 6 ||

The playful Pramathas, and other classes of demigods (ganadevatas) frolicked here as gaily as blossoms of Asoka plants, when tossed about by the feet of their wanton damsels. (It is said that the Asoka jonesia flowers blossom, better, when they are kicked by and trodden under the feet of females). See Sir W. Jones' Indian plants.
