Raivataka presents a most delightful appearance like Meru with all his jewels and gems. Men and women excited and filled with delight, O Bharata, sang aloud. The swell of music which thus arose from that foremost of mountains appeared to touch the very heavens. Everywhere were heard spouts and loud whoops of men who were in all forms of excitement.
अतीव प्रेक्षणीयोऽभून्मेरुर्मुनिगणैरिव। मत्तानां हृष्टरूपाणां स्त्रीणां पुंसां च भारत॥ गायतां पर्वतेन्द्रस्य दिवस्पृगिव निःस्वनः। प्रमत्तमत्त सम्मत्तक्ष्वेडितोत्क्रुष्टसंकुलः॥
