On the plateau of the Gandhamadana all the trees are furnished with glossy foliage and fruits. Look! how these lotus-lakes decked with full blown lotuses and sweet with the hum of black fees are being agitated by elephants with their mates! look at another lotus lake decked with an array of lotuses and looking like a second Sree in very flesh and blood with a garland encircling her neck. 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!
स्निग्धपत्रफला वृक्षा गन्धमादनसानुषु। भ्रमरारावमधुरा नलिनी: फुल्लपङ्कजाः॥ विलोड्यमानाः पश्येमाः करिभिः सकरेणुभिः। पश्येमां नलिनी चान्यां कमलोत्पलमालिनीम्॥ स्रग्धरां विग्रहवती साक्षाच्छ्रियमिवापराम्। नानाकुसुमगन्धाढ्यास्तस्येमाः काननोत्तमे॥ उपगीयमाना भ्रमरै राजन्ते वनराजयः। पश्य भीम शुभान् देशान् देवाक्रीडान् समन्ततः॥८३।
