In the Padma Purana, I, with my heart solely devoted to you, am tormented by the pain of separation from you. How is it that you have not spoken to me, even through another's mouth, O Lord? ||9||
You have abandoned me, my Lord, and in this entire world, there is no other refuge for me, or else death would be my refuge. ||15||
Then, with a constricted face, she said, "Die," and, overcome with grief, she fell to the ground. ||16||
The wind, bearing the highest prosperity, and devoid of compassion, mounted a magnificent elephant and, along with his vassals, set out. ||17||
On the first day, he reached the Manasarovar Lake. Though his vehicles were not weary, he stationed his army on the bank of the lake. ||18||
As his army descended from the sky, it shone brightly, adorned with various vehicles and weapons, like a group of gods. ||19||
The Vidyaadharas, filled with joy, performed all the necessary tasks, such as bathing, eating, etc., for themselves and their vehicles. ||100||
Then, by the power of knowledge, a beautiful palace was quickly constructed, with many sections, and with appropriate length, breadth, and height. On the upper section of the palace, Pavananjay, seated on a magnificent throne, was engaged in conversation with his friend, his joy increasing with tales of war. ||101-102||
Pavananjay, through the windows, was looking at the trees on the bank and the Manasarovar Lake, gently swaying in the soft breeze. ||103||
In the lake, fearsome turtles, fish, crocodiles, proud alligators, and many other aquatic creatures were creating waves. ||104||
The water of the lake, clear like polished crystal, adorned with lotuses and blue lotuses, was further beautified by swans, cranes, herons, and sarasa birds. ||105||
The deep sound of all these birds was captivating both the mind and the ears. And within that sound, the buzzing of bees could be heard. ||106||
Servant people have spoken to you, yet my mind is fixed only on you, and I am constantly pained by your separation. Why have you not spoken to me, even through another's mouth? ||93-94||
O Lord! You have abandoned me, and in this entire world, there is no other refuge for me, or else death would be my refuge. ||25||
Then, Pavananjay, with a constricted face, said, "Die." As soon as he said that, she, overcome with grief, fell to the ground. ||96||
