The forest-land was variegated and beautified by cuckoos, the ornaments of mango trees, black-bees and various birds of various colours, Among the trees beautifying the forest some were gold-hued, some were radiant as the flame of fire and some were like red collyrium. There were various flowers, spreading fragrance and making garlands. And there were various ponds filled with pure water.
कोकिलै ङ्गराजैश्च नानावणैश्च पक्षिभिः। शोभितां शतशश्चित्रां चूतवृक्षावतंसकैः॥ शातकुम्भनिभाः केचित्केचिदग्निशिखोपमाः। नीलाञ्जननिभाश्चान्ये भान्ति तत्र स्म पादपाः॥ सुरभीणि च पुष्पाणि माल्यानि विविधानि च। दीर्घिका विविधाकाराः पूर्णाः परमवारिणा॥
