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,
नानाप्रस्रवणेभ्यश्च वारिधाराः पतन्ति च। भास्कराभाः प्रभाभिश्च शारदाभ्रधनोपमाः॥ शोभयन्ति महाशैलं नानारजतधातवः। क्वचिदञ्जनवर्णाभाः क्वचित् काञ्चनसंनिभाः॥ धातवो हरितालस्य क्वचिद्धिमुलकस्य च। मनः शिलागुहाश्चैव सन्ध्याभ्रनिकरोपमाः॥ शशलोहितवर्णाभाः क्वचिनैरिकधातवः। सितासिताभ्रप्रतिमा बालसूर्यसमप्रभाः॥ एते बहुविधाः शैलं शोभयन्ति महाप्रभाः। गन्धर्वाः सह कान्ताभिर्यथोक्तं वृषपर्वणा॥
