Translation
They also saw that the bathing ghāṭas and their staircases were made of vaidūrya-maṇi. The water was full of lotus flowers. Passing by such lakes, the demigods reached a place where there was a great banyan tree.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Seeing that forest used by the Kimpuruṣas and the pools which were decorated with lotus garlands, furnished with steps of cat’s eye jewel, the devatās then saw from far off the banyan tree of Śiva.
Vāpyaḥ means ponds. Prāptā modifies vāpyaḥ. Another version has prāptam, which modifies vanam. From far off (ārāt), they saw the banyan tree.
