Priyangulat膩yam膩na is the reading of Bh膩nu. and
It means: the women were appearing like a grove
of priva峁単u creepers, appearing blue with the paintings
drawn with krsn膩guru.
Kane 2 and Kale鲁
read priyangu vanayam膩na rocan膩,
which is not good, though available in many manuscript.
Because rocan膩 is yellow in colour and it is difficult
to explain how the road appeared like priyangu with the
mark of rocan膩. The priyangu creeper is dark so that its
other name is sy膩m膩.
