## The Fifty-First Chapter

A **Dhadhimukha** island, adorned with excellent qualities, lay in the midst of the sky, where the **Sri-Saila** was flying high on its celestial chariot. ||1||

In that **Dhadhimukha** island, there was a city of the same name, adorned with white palaces like curds, and beautiful golden arches. ||2||

Its regions were adorned with gardens, dark like new clouds, radiant with flowers, and resembling the sky with its stars. ||3||

There were ponds, clear as crystal, adorned with steps, and covered with lotuses, lilies, and other flowers, shining here and there. ||4||

In that land, far from the city, there was a terrible forest, filled with tall grasses, creepers, vines, trees, and thorns. ||5||

That forest was surrounded by dry trees, echoing with the roars of ferocious wild animals, terrifying, extremely harsh, agitated by strong winds, filled with fallen trees, generating great fear, containing very salty lakes, and frequented by crows, vultures, and other birds, devoid of human beings. ||6-7||

**Gautama Swami** said, "O King! In that desolate forest, two **Sadhus** (holy men), endowed with **Riddhi** (divine powers), were seated, practicing intense **Yoga** for eight days, with their arms hanging down." ||8||

At a distance of four **Kroshas** (a measure of distance) from those **Sadhus**, there were three beautiful maidens, with captivating eyes, clad in white garments, wearing matted hair, pure of heart, resembling the beauty of the three worlds, and adorned with new ornaments, performing severe austerities according to the rules. ||9-10||

Then, **Hanuman** saw those two **Sadhus** being consumed by a great fire, standing still like a pair of trees. ||11||

Those three maidens, whose vows were not yet completed, and who were full of beauty, were also touched by the rising smoke, as they were leaving. ||12||

Then, those two **Yogis**, united in their **Yoga**, with a longing for **Shiva**, stood firm, abandoning all attachments, and discarding their silken garments and ornaments. ||13||
