कल्पवृक्षप्रतिमः resembling the wishyielding tree in heaven, सः he, मूर्तिमान् a personification, वसन्तः इव like the spring season, श्मशानचैत्यप्रतिमः resembled a memorial structure built on the cremation ground, भूषितोऽपि though adorned with jewels, भयङ्करः fierceful appearance.
English Commentary
He was comparable to the wishfulfilling tree grown in heaven, a personified spring season and a memorial structure raised on the cremation ground. He looked frightening even though welladorned.
