## Chapter 88 of the Padma Purana 88 Padma Purana Some of the vassals, overcome by fear, were devoted to devotion. Out of humility, they gave their mental suffering to their feet. ||27|| Then, playfully, Rama and Lakshmana reached the Pariyatra forest, which was filled with the roaring of lions and elephants. ||28|| In that forest, there was a dense darkness like the night of the dark fortnight, caused by large trees. There was a river called Sharvari, on whose banks many Shabaras (Bhil) lived. Rama and Lakshmana reached there. ||29|| Resting on the bank of that river, which was adorned with various sweet fruits, Padma, with his good understanding, turned back many kings. ||30|| But other kings, who had decided to go with Padma, did not return even after great effort. ||31|| Seeing that river, which was beautiful like a large sapphire, whose middle part was filled with a group of very fast waves, which was filled with waves caused by the collision of powerful crocodiles emerging from it, whose soft banks were breaking and falling into it due to the impact of the group of waves, which was making a 'su-su' sound due to colliding with the caves of large mountains, in which the rays of the sun were reflected in the bodies of the fish swimming above, from which the splashes of water were flying far and wide due to the roar of the crocodiles, and from which all the birds were flying away in fear, the bodies of all the vassals began to tremble with fear. They said to Rama, along with Lakshmana, "O Lord! Please take us across the river. O Padma! Be pleased. O Lakshmana! Be pleased with us servants who are full of devotion. O Devi! Lakshmana obeys you, so tell him." ||32-37|| Speaking these and many other words, those humble vassals jumped into that river and started flowing, performing various actions. ||38|| Then, Rama, standing calmly on the bank, said to them, "O good men! Now you return. This forest is very terrible. ||39|| This is the meeting point for you with us. This river has become a barrier for you, so be free from anxiety." ||40|| I These vassals were ashamed and many were suffering in their minds due to fear. They were walking with them humbly. ||27|| Then, Rama and Lakshmana playfully reached the Pariyatra forest, which was filled with the roaring of lions and elephants. ||28|| In that forest, there was a dense darkness like the night of the dark fortnight, caused by large trees. There was a river called Sharvari, on whose banks many Shabaras (Bhil) lived. Rama and Lakshmana reached there. ||29|| Resting on the bank of that river, which was adorned with various sweet fruits, Padma, with his good understanding, turned back many kings. ||30|| But other kings, who had decided to go with Padma, did not return even after great effort. ||31|| Then, seeing that river, which was beautiful like a large sapphire, whose middle part was filled with a group of very fast waves, which was filled with waves caused by the collision of powerful crocodiles emerging from it, whose soft banks were breaking and falling into it due to the impact of the group of waves, which was making a 'su-su' sound due to colliding with the caves of large mountains, in which the rays of the sun were reflected in the bodies of the fish swimming above, from which the splashes of water were flying far and wide due to the roar of the crocodiles, and from which all the birds were flying away in fear, the bodies of all the vassals began to tremble with fear.
