Translation

When all those solid fruits fall from such a height, they break, and the sweet, fragrant juice within them flows out and becomes increasingly more fragrant as it mixes with other scents. That juice cascades from the mountain in waterfalls and becomes a river called Aruṇodā, which flows pleasantly through the eastern side of Ilāvṛta.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

The river names Arunoḍā, filled with reddish liquid, fragrant and very sweet, mixed with other scents, arising from broken, ripe mangoes, falls from the peak of Mandara Mountain and flows into Ilāvṛta on the eastern side. The mangoes have their natural scent, mixed with other fragrances (sugandhi) as well.
