Thus, gradually beholding on the plateau of the Gandhamadana, many lakes as transparent as crystal, full of swans of white plumage, ringing with the cries of Sarasas, decked with lotuses and lilies and containing water of pleasurable feel and also beholding fragrant flowers and luscious fruits, beautiful lakes and highly beautiful trees, the heroic Parthas with eyes expanded with wonder penetrated into the forest (of Gandhamadana).
विमलस्फाटिकाभानि पाण्डुरच्छदनैर्द्विजैः। कलहंसैरुपेतानि सारसाभिरुतानि च॥ सरांसि बहुशः पार्थाः पश्यन्तः शैलासनुषु। पद्मोत्पलविमिश्राणि सुखशीतजलानि च।॥ एवं क्रमेण ते वीरा वीक्षमाणाः समन्ततः। गन्धवन्त्यथ माल्यानि रसवन्ति फलानि च॥ सरांसि च मनोज्ञानि वृक्षांश्चातिमनोरमान्। विविशुः पाण्डवाः सर्वे विस्मयोत्फुल्ललोचनाः॥
