Chapter One Hundred Twenty-Two
407
Then, the daughters of the Sadvidyadharas took me away. There, those learned daughters, giving various examples, said to me, "This renunciation is useless in this state, for this renunciation is truly only suitable for very old women." 43-44
Where is this youthful body, and where is this difficult vow? Can a mountain be pierced by the rays of the moon? 45
We will all go forward with you, and, O Devi, we will take Baldeva as our husband, taking refuge in you. 46
You will be the chief queen among us all. In this way, we will all play happily with Rama in Jambudvipa. 47
Meanwhile, thousands of daughters, adorned with various ornaments and endowed with divine splendor, arrived there. 48
Like the graceful gait of royal swans, they, born of the reaction of Sita and Indra, went near Rama. 49
Some of them were speaking sweetly, even more melodious than the cuckoo. Other daughters shone, as if Lakshmi herself were standing there. 50
They were manifesting divine music, a nectar for the ears, delightful to the mind, and accompanied by the sounds of flutes and veenas. 51
They had hair as black as bees, their radiance like lightning, they were very delicate and slender-waisted, they had large and prominent breasts, they were charmingly laughing with amorous smiles, they were wearing clothes of various colors and scents, they were speaking with various gestures and words, and they had filled the sky with their radiance. All those daughters, standing around the Muni, were creating infatuation, just as the daughters of the gods had done around the powerful Bahubali. 52-54
One daughter, seeking shade, went under a Bakula tree. Reaching there, she pulled the tree, causing the swarm of bees sitting on it to fly towards her. Frightened by them, that daughter went to the Muni for refuge. 55
Some daughters, engaged in a dispute, were taking sides. They asked the Muni, "What is the name of this tree?" 56
