"Streams of water" means torrents of water. Among them, the cool one falls into a golden vessel and the warm one into a silver vessel. And this is said to show their drinking water and water for use, unmixed with any impurity on the surface of the earth, and their unique play-water; but there is no measure of the other water brought in golden and silver jars, and of the water in lotus ponds with swans, ducks, and the like.
