Seeing the great glory of the mountain, Bharat Maharaja climbed a little further and said to the Purohita, "This is a good opportunity." ||36||
"O Dev, look at the many wonders of this mountain, where even the gods, despite their heavenly abode, play with disregard." ||37||
"This mountain's glory is so great that it surpasses all worlds, for the Lord Vrishabhadeva, the Guru of the movable and immovable, resides here." ||38||
"This great mountain, like a lustful man, always embraces the river-like women, who reside in its lap, their blue water-like garments flowing." ||39||
"Even though this lion is fierce, he is playing in the mountain cave, dragging a huge serpent, but being unable to pull it due to its length, he is letting it go." ||40||
"This mountain holds on its banks many forest regions, which seem like Munis, for just as Munis endure all kinds of dualities, like cold and heat, so too do these forest regions endure all kinds of dualities, like animals and birds. Just as Munis benefit all, so too do these forest regions benefit all. And just as Munis remove the suffering of the masses, so too do these forest regions remove the suffering caused by the sun's heat." ||41||
"This mountain, with its roaring waterfalls, seems to be threatening the lions, who have torn apart the heads of intoxicated elephants with their claws, with the fear of sin." ||42||
"O Lord, just as you hold many kings, who are accompanied by their followers, noble, born of high lineage, and with excellent bodies, under your control, so too does this mountain hold wild elephants, who are accompanied by their peaks, have high spines, and are of noble lineage, on its peaks." ||43||
"Here, these eight-legged creatures, mistaking the roaring clouds for elephants, jump on them, but then fall down and suffer a deplorable fate." ||44||
"The branches, whose bark is scarred by the rubbing of cheeks, and which are wet with the water of the waterfalls, indicate the enjoyment of the forest by the elephants." ||45||
Seeing the lion tearing apart the shoots with its claw-like nails, Bharat Maharaja thought. ||35||
