In this excellent forest, there are ranges of woods rich with the fragrance of various flowers and ringing with the hum of the black fees. O Bhima, behold on all sides the auspicious sporting grounds of the gods! |

M. N. Dutt: O Vrikodara, by our arrival here we have attained to a state transcending the human and our desire has been fulfilled. O Partha, on these plateaus of the Gandhamadana, you excellent blossoming trees, embraced by flower creepers, look supremely handsome. O Bhima, listen to the warbles of the peacocks wandering with their sweet-hearts on the slopes of the mountain, of the Chataka, Satapatra and maddened Kokila and Sarikas. Birds alighting these great blossoming trees. O Partha, seated on the boughs these myriad of Yivajevaka birds of scarlet, yellow and red colour are looking at one another. And near the green and red grass plots, And also near the mountain spring. The cranes are seen and the Bhringaraja, Chakoas and herons are sending forth melodious notes causing delight to all creatures. Elephants, furnished with four tusks and of the colour of lotuses, accompanied by their mates, Are agitating that great lake of the colour of lapses. And torrents gushing down from the summits of the mountains are spouting forth as high as several palm trees from the springs. And many silvery minerals of sun-like splendour and looking like a dense mass of autumnal clouds are beautifying this mighty mountain. In some places minerals of the hue of the collyrium, in some of golden hue and in some yellow orpiment, in some vermilion and in some caves of red arsenic resembling the evening clouds, in some red chalk of the hue of the rabbit and in some minerals resembling white and sable clouds and of the rays of the rising sun-these and many other minerals of mighty splendour, are adding largely to the beauty of the mountain. As was told by Vrishparvana, Gandharvas with their sweethearts, And accompanied by the Kimpurushas, O Partha, are seen on the summits of the mountain. Songs exactly keeping time and also the chanting of the Samaveda, Delightful to all creatures are being repeatedly heard. Behold the auspicious and sacred celestials river Mahaganga Adorned with swans and worshipped by the sages and the Kinnaras. O tormentor of foes, O son of Kunti, behold this prince of mountains containing minerals and rivulets, Kinnaras, deer and birds, Gandharvas and Apsaras and pleasant gardens and snakes of many shapes and of hundred heads. |

M. N. Dutt: Vaishampayana said: Those tormentors of foes, those heroes accompanied by Draupadi and the high-souled Brahmanas having attained to an excellent state were highly glad at heart and were not satiated by beholding (over and over again) that prince of mountains. They then viewed the hermitage of the royal sage Arstisena adorned with flowers and trees bearing fruits. And they approached that royal sage of fervid devotion, versed in all religious lores and having muscles bare. |
