Translation
Though not thirsty, elephants drink this water and make their wives drink this water, which has become yellow and fragrant with the kuṁkuma from the bathing of the women. Elephants, though not thirsty, drink the water of those two rivers, because the waters have become yellow and fragrant from the bathing of the women.
