अन्वयः

हिमवांश्चैव even Himalaya , विन्ध्यश्च Vindhya mountain also, सुमहान्नगः towering mountains, मेरुश्च Mount Meru also, भूतले on the surface of the earth, जलाशये in a pond, नागा इव like elephants, सम्प्रकाशन्ते shining.

M N Dutt

Himavān, and Vindhya, and that mighty mountain, Meru, appeared on the earth like elephants in a tank. Then we began to sweat, and to be filled with regret; and fear seized us both. And we became bewildered; and fainted away frightfully.* *Consequent on Jațāyu having dropped down.

Summary

'The mountains of the earth, Himavan and Vindhya and the great Meru looked like huge elephants in a huge pond.
