nṛṇāḿ śrīr iva bhūr abhūt
haritah -- greenish; haribhih -- which is green; sashpaih -- because of the newly grown grass; indragopaih -- because of the indragopa insects; ca -- and; lohita -- reddish; ucchilindhra -- by the mushrooms; krita -- afforded; chaya -- shelter; nrinam -- of men; srih -- the opulence; iva -- just as; bhuh -- the earth; abhut -- became.
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.
Srila Sridhara Svami comments that the word nrinam 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.
