The Thirty-Third Chapter
103
Where flies were buzzing around the blood of deer killed by wolves, and where herds of chital were restless with their tails entangled in thorny bushes. ||27||
Where it was adorned with various arrows left by proud she-hunters, and where many creatures were roaming around, intoxicated by the smell of poisonous flower pollen. ||28||
Where water was dripping from the trunks of trees broken by the impact of rhinoceroses and elephants, and where herds of gavaya had broken the leaves of trees while running around. ||29||
Where the harsh sounds of various flocks of birds were echoing, and where the upper parts of trees were swaying due to the attack of monkey groups. ||30||
Where the earth was eroded by hundreds of fast-flowing mountain streams, and where the rays of the sun were shining brightly on the tops of trees. ||31||
Where it was filled with various flowers and fruits, fragrant with a variety of scents, full of various herbs, and abundant with wild grains. ||32||
Where it was blue in some places, yellow in some places, red in some places, green in some places, and tawny in some places. ||33||
There, in the beautiful waterfalls of Chitrakoot, they played, showed each other beautiful things, ate delicious and delightful fruits, sang sweet songs that shamed the Kinnaris, adorned each other with flowers born of water and land, and smeared their bodies with fragrant liquids from trees, thus wandering as if they had only come out for a stroll in a garden. Their beautiful eyes were blooming, they adorned their bodies as they wished, and they stole the eyes of creatures. ||34-37||
They rested again and again in groves that stole the eyes, they told various stories, and they played various games. ||38||
Moving with great beauty by nature, they wandered through that beautiful forest, just as the gods do in Nandana. ||39||
Thus, in less than five months, they crossed that place and reached the very beautiful Avanti country, filled with people. 1. The harsh sound of various flocks of birds echoed. 2. The earth was eroded.
