________________ 34 S. T. Nimkar?..? 340. Then even before the sun has brought on the red hue (or, punningly, passion) to the East (lit. the quarter that is the wife of Indra), let us go, so that all our (desired) pleasure sports will be accomplished". 341. So, along with (our) friends (we) immediately started in speedy Vimānas, with (our) hair wafted by the breezes in the sky. 342. (We) reached Malaya-mountain, which had (as if) blocked the entire southern quarter with its vast expanse and which was surrounded by jewel-offerings (brought by the waves) on the sea-shore; which had the sun shining on its slopes (because it soared high above the sun) and (therefore) which had profuse smoke of darkness heaving on its peaks and which looked like the fire of world destruction remaining contracted in a heap after burning the world, 344. which was as if sprinkling the ocean, burnt within by sub-marine fire, with springs cooled by the contact with Candana, Karpūra and Lavanga trees; 345. (where) the clusters of stars twinkling along its boulders and rocks, appeared like the spray of the streams flowing after dashing down its lofty peaks; 346. where the rays of the sun did not enter, as if shying away from the creeper-bowers full of whispers of divine Siddha couples enjoying themselves inside, 347. (where) the Siddha-couples comforted themselves under the Candana trees which were closed to the sun and which were deserted by the snakes out of fear from the heat (of the sun) shining so near; and moreover348. (where) the slightly blossoming Kalpalatās were bereft of flowers plucked and taken away by divine damsels and the wind blew cool and gentle by the swinging of Candana trees; 349. (where) the tufts of grass growing on emerald cliffs were made conspicuous (only) after being dried up (lit. old); and Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
