-With the smell of rice at end of autumn,
+With prewinter's scent of paddy rice,
-I remember the harvest festival day.
+The [[:wikipedia:Nabanna|harvest fest]]{{#tag:ref|In Bengal, the harvest festival (Nabanna) takes place on the first day of [[:wikipedia:Ogrohayon|Agraháyań]], the second of the two months that are India's prewinter season.|group="nb"}} comes to mind.
-The crop was offered with devotion,
+The crop is offered with devotion,
-In supplication of You.
+In Your supplication.
-The sky is filled with stars;
+Filled with many stars are the heavens;
-The breeze is mild and sweet.
+Sweet and gentle are the mild winds.
-The river is flooded, a deluge
+The river's full and in spate,
-Streaming in a hundred directions.
+Streaming out a hundred ways.
-In the sky, in the water, and on land,
+In the sky, in water, and on land,
-Everything today is sparkling.
+Everything today is scintillant.
-On every visage, a sweet smile
+On everybody's face is a sweet smile;
-And a crown of joy is worn.
+Worn is the crown of delight.
