ताम्: she, जीवन्तीम्: is living यत्: that, शृणोमि: I hearing, सोदकस्य: with water, केदारस्य: like a paddy field, उपस्नेहेन: getting wet, निरूदकः without water, केदारःइवजीवामि: am living like crop with water
English Commentary
I am living only because of hearing about her survival, just as a paddy field without water gets wet by the proximity of a neighboring paddy field with water.
