In the Padma Purana,
There, in the Nandana forest, where Rama, the righteous, abides,
The wind, laden with the pollen of many flowers, blows pleasantly.
The sound of birds, a delightful cacophony, fills the air.
The strong, restless swarm of bees buzzes around the fragrant Bakula trees.
The melodious cuckoos sing their sweet songs,
While the parrots, perched on the Palasha trees, play with their clear voices.
The mango blossoms, adorned with bees, resemble the sharp arrows of Kamadeva.
The forest, painted yellow by the Karnika flowers, seems ready for a game of play with yellow powder.
The Bakula tree, ignoring the intoxicating nectar of its flowers, showers its fragrance like a raincloud in the monsoon.
Then, the divine, self-effulgent, Kamadeva, assuming the form of Janaki,
Approaches Rama with a slow, languid gait.
That forest, a delight to the mind, is secluded, filled with diverse trees and flowers of all seasons.
Then, the great goddess Sita, wandering happily through the forest,
Suddenly appeared before the sage.
She said, "O Rama, I have seen you, wandering through the world, by the grace of great merit, however difficult it may be."
"O Lord, I, Suvadana, have fallen into the current of the river of love, filled with waves of separation. Please save me from drowning."
With her various gestures and sweet words, she understood the sage's unwavering mind.
She, whose heart was filled with the sin of delusion, who stood before the sage and moved from side to side,
She, consumed by the fever of love, whose body trembled, and whose red, full lips quivered,
The enchanting Sita spoke to him, "O God, I, who was once a devotee of the gods,
Now, having renounced my own dharma, I wander as an ascetic."
The other thoughts, the other considerations, Sita's life, self-effulgent god, came down from the Arunachala kalpa to the Sudharma kalpa with the other gods.
Then, moving from the Sudharma kalpa, he descended into that vast forest of the earth, which seemed like the Nandana forest, where the great sage Ramachandra was meditating.
In that forest, a pleasant wind, carrying the pollen of many flowers, was blowing, and the delightful sound of birds was heard everywhere.
On the Bakula tree, a strong group of bees was buzzing restlessly, and the group of cuckoos was making loud, sweet sounds.
The mynas, skilled in producing various beautiful sounds, were making melodious sounds, and the parrots, sitting on the Palasha trees, were playing, uttering clear words.
The mango blossoms, adorned with bees, seemed like the new, sharp arrows of Kamadeva.
The forest, appearing yellow due to the Karnika flowers, seemed as if it were ready to play with yellow powder.
The Bakula tree, ignoring the intoxicating nectar of its flowers, was showering its fragrance like a group of rainclouds in the monsoon.
Then, that self-effulgent, divine, Kamadeva, who could change his form at will, assuming the form of Janaki,
Approached Rama with a slow, languid gait, intending to go near him.
That forest, a delight to the mind, was secluded, filled with diverse trees and flowers of all seasons.
Then, the great goddess Sita, wandering happily through the forest,
Suddenly appeared before the sage.
She said, "O Rama, I have seen you, wandering through the world, by the grace of great merit, however difficult it may be."
"O Lord, I, Suvadana, have fallen into the current of the river of love, filled with waves of separation. Please save me from drowning."
When she understood the sage's unwavering mind with her various gestures and sweet words, she, whose heart was filled with the sin of delusion, who stood before the sage and moved from side to side,
She, consumed by the fever of love, whose body trembled, and whose red, full lips quivered,
The enchanting Sita spoke to him, "O God, I, who was once a devotee of the gods,
Now, having renounced my own dharma, I wander as an ascetic."
