English Translation
प्रकृत्या by nature, हिमकोशाढ्यः with snow settled heavily, साम्प्रतम् presently दूरसूर्यश्च distant Sun, हिमवान् Himalaya, गिरिः mountain, हिमवान् snowy mountain, सुव्यक्तम् clearly, यथार्थनामा has a befitting name.
English Commentary
Presently with the Sun far away, the Himalayas abounding in snow has naturally justified its name.
