harita haribhih saspair

ucchilindhra-krta-cchaya
 nrnam srir iva bhur abhut

Translation:
The newly grown grass made the earth emerald green, the indragopa insects added a reddish hue, and white mushrooms added further color and circles of shade. Thus the earth appeared like a person who has suddenly become rich.

Purport:
Srila Sridhara Svami comments that the word nrnam indicates men of the royal order. Thus the colorful display of dark green fields decorated with bright red insects and white mushroom umbrellas can be compared to a royal parade displaying the military strength of a king.
