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.
अमानुषगति प्राप्ताः संसिद्धाः स्म वृकोदर। लताभिः पुष्पिताग्राभिः पुष्पिताः पादपोत्तमाः॥ संश्लिष्टाः पार्थ शोभन्ते गन्धमादनसानुषु। शिखण्डिनीभिश्चरतां सहितानां शिखण्डिनाम्॥ नदतां शृणु निर्घोषं भीम पर्वतसानुषु। चकोराः शतपत्राश्च मत्तकोकिलसारिकाः॥
