निर्धूतपत्रशिखराः with top branches shorn, शीर्णपुष्पफलाः with flowers and fruits shed, द्रुमाः trees, पराजिताः defeated, निक्षिप्तवस्त्राभरणाः with clothes and ornaments lost in gambling, धूर्ता इव like a gambler.

The tree tops, shorn of their leaves and flowers and fruits fallen, appeared like gamblers who had lost their stakes and had to lay down their clothes and ornaments.
