In the Padma Purana, King Maya, though filled with joy at the removal of the thorn of worry about his daughter, was also filled with sorrow at her separation. He resided in his own abode. ||42|| Mandodari, with her charming demeanor, gradually became the most prominent among thousands of goddesses, captivating the heart of the king with her virtues. ||43|| Like Indra with his consort Indrani, Dashaanan, accompanied by Mandodari, delighted in his desired places. ||8|| Desiring to know the power of his knowledge, Dashaanan, with his radiant brilliance, engaged in numerous activities. ||85|| He, being one, became many, uniting with all women. He sometimes generated heat like the sun, and sometimes emitted moonlight like the moon. ||86|| He sometimes emitted flames like fire, and sometimes rained like clouds. He sometimes moved mountains like the wind, and sometimes exerted the power of Indra. ||87|| He sometimes became the ocean, sometimes a mountain, sometimes a maddened elephant, and sometimes a swift horse. ||88|| He was near in an instant, far in an instant, visible in an instant, invisible in an instant, great in an instant, subtle in an instant, terrifying in an instant, and not terrifying in an instant. ||89|| Thus, while roaming, he reached a mountain called Meghrav and saw a clear water pond there. ||90|| In that pond, there were lotus flowers, blue lotuses, red lotuses, white lotuses, and other types of lotuses. On its banks, there were cranes, swans, ducks, and herons. ||91|| Its banks were covered with soft green grass, and its steps enhanced its beauty. Its water seemed as if the sky had melted and filled it with the rays of the sun. ||92|| Its banks were filled with tall trees like Arjuna (a type of tree). Whenever groups of fish jumped up in it, water droplets flew up from them. ||93|| With its waves, which were like fleeting moments, it seemed to be making sounds like the chirping of birds, which were pleasing to the ears. ||94||
