It abounded with forests of Plantains pleasant to view and most charming. And it was haunted by various ascetics, some living on air, some water, some on fruits, some on leaves, some on raw raise again which they husked with the aid only of stones and some that were called Vaneyas. And it was filled with the chauntings of the Vedas and abounded with diverse kinds of animals.
कदलीवनभूयिष्ठं दृष्टिकान्तं मनोहरम्। वाय्वम्बुफलपर्णादैर्दन्तोलूखलिकैरपि॥ तथाश्मकुट्टैर्वानेयैर्मुनिभिर्बहुभिर्वृतम्। स्वाध्यायघोषसंघुष्टं मृगयूथशताकुलम्॥
