Lji - here's the gist. Krishna will be able to do a padArtha if you need it.
Oh mother, in the residence of the son of nand, the clouds roar...they roar as loudly as the flashes of lighting shine.
And the clouds gather forcefully from all four directions, while the wind blows in an easterly direction. And the frogs, peacocks and the brain-fever birds all clamor, while the cuckoo gets us to listen to its melody. And mIrA brings her mind/ heart to the feet of her Lord, the wonderful giridhar.
