In the Harivamsha Purana, it is said that King Sumukh's bow, which was capable of eliminating the defects of Varna Sankara (caste mixing), surpassed the bow of Indra in its qualities. The bow of Indra was unable to eliminate the defects of Varna Sankara, which are caused by the mixing of different colors (red, yellow, blue, green, etc.). [7]

King Sumukh's body was extremely beautiful due to his youthful radiance and the presence of the goddess of fortune. How could even the god of love, whose form is not visible, be compared to him in beauty? [8]

He was skilled in the interpretation of Dharma Shastra, possessed exceptional skills and qualities, was capable of punishing the wicked and rewarding the virtuous, and was a true protector of his people. [9]

He was like a bee in a lotus garden, the garden being his inner palace, and he honored the seasons as they arrived, without causing any harm to Dharma, Artha, or Kama (righteousness, wealth, and desire). [10]

Then came the spring season, which seemed to be just like King Sumukh. Just as King Sumukh was full of energy and enthusiasm, so too was the spring season, eager to display its splendor. Just as King Sumukh was capable of captivating the heart of a woman named Vanamala with his flowers and leaves, so too was the spring season captivating with its beautiful forests adorned with flowers and leaves. [11]

Mango trees, which captivate the hearts of men, were adorned with new leaves of a reddish hue, as if they were announcing the love of Vanamala (the forest) for King Sumukh. [12]

The flame-colored Palash trees were shining brightly, as if they were the flames of love that had been extinguished by the reunion of lovers after a long separation. [13]

The Ashoka tree, a young man, was adorned with new leaves, as if he had been touched by the soft footsteps of a beautiful woman wearing anklets that made a tinkling sound. [14]

The Bakul tree, whose trunk was full of the nectar of unadulterated wine, filled the hearts of women with its flowers. [15]

The Karavaka, which produced a pleasant sound for happy young women, was also a source of comfort for the sorrowful young men. [16]

Just as the sun is associated with happiness and the best of the sky, so too was the king associated with happiness and prosperity. [6]
