TRANSLATION

Sukadeva Gosvami said: O King Pariksit, because the two sons
of Kuvera had been elevated to the association of Lord Siva, of
which they were very much proud, they were allowed to wander in
a garden attached to Kailasa Hill, on the bank of the Mandakini
River. Taking advantage of this, they used to drink a kind of li-
quor called Varuni. Accompanied by women singing after them,
they would wander in that garden of flowers, their eyes always
rolling in intoxication.
