**75.** With the sound of roaring waterfalls echoing from the mouths of caves, it seemed as if the mountain, vying with the Kulachala mountains, was roaring with its own glory.
**76.** With its heights and depths, its various colored metals, and the incredible colors of the deer, it presented a picturesque form.
**77.** In the depths of its forests, at the onset of night, various medicinal herbs blazed, as if the gods had hung lamps to dispel the darkness.
**78.** In some places, the region near the mountain was adorned with the scattered pearls that had fallen from the heads of elephants, torn apart by lions, as if it were adorned with the beauty of scattered flowers.
