There, the chiefs of devatās, their glances and minds attracted by the playful glances and smiles of beautiful women because of their desire, amuse themselves freely with ingredients supplied by their followers in pastimes such as water sports in clear lakes resounding with the sounds of various groups of bees, swans, water hens, cranes and kāraṇḍavas excited by the fragrance of a variety of blooming lotuses growing in valleys between the mountains, which have hermitages and pleasant gardens splendid with trees and creepers whose branches are bent down by the abundance of fruits and flowers of all seasons.

There the heads of the devatās play freely. The valleys between the mountains have hermitages and pleasant gardens splendid (upaśumbhamāna) with trees and creepers whose branches are bent down (ānamyamāna) by the abundance (śriyā) of fruits and flowers of all seasons. The water resounds with groups of various species (ākṛtibhiḥ) of bees, swans and various other birds. Plural is used for the dvandva compound by the rule adhikaraṇe tāvat tve (Pāṇini 2.4.15). Avoiding the genitive cases is poetic license.

navasv api varṣeṣu bhagavān nārāyaṇo mahā-puruṣaḥ puruṣāṇāṁ tad-anugrahāyātma-tattva-vyūhenātmanādyāpi sannidhīyate.

To show his mercy means to continue showing his mercy. For that purpose he remains present in his various forms (ātma-tattva-vyūhena). It should be understood that these presiding deities of the various varṣas are deity forms of the Lord. This is described in Prāhlada’s prayer in SB 5.18.8.
