[19] And there, to prepare the principal rite, having adorned the circle of peaks of Śrī Govardhana, the enhancer of all happiness, with diverse colourful canopies, banners, and the like, and having worshipped him according to rule with choice ingredients such as water for washing feet that was charming with excellent scents procured with great effort, they brought near and offered from close by abundant heaps of food: having torrents of streams of clarified butter like extensive foot-hills, displaying the coloration of mineral pigments indicated by condiments of various colours, bordered by rivers of milk, and joined by ponds of yogurt. Because of their former presence, the very places have also long been known by names of heaps of abundant sweetmeats, such as Āpūpika and Śāṣkulika.
Rich with various musical instruments and the clamour of the people, / that sacrificial festival thoroughly reached heaven; / because of which the two Aśvins, physicians to the king of the gods, / diagnosed the cause of the earache. ||1.18.28
