The Thirty-Third Chapter
The branches of trees, the roars of lions, the trumpeting of elephants, all indicate the presence of these animals in the forest. See, the monkeys are huddled together in the arbors, terrified. (46)
This forest is made beautiful by the chanting of the great sages, and it is filled with the sound of deer munching on grass. (47)
Here, the forest is made terrifying by the harsh roars of lions, and there, the elephants are fleeing, abandoning their food. (48)
Here are beautiful forest areas where the old buffalo have gouged the banks with their horns, and the wild boars have dug small ponds. (49)
The deer entering the small ponds and the elephants standing near the bamboo thickets clearly indicate that a lion has recently attacked this terrifying forest. (50)
The deer, who always enter the forest and always sleep on the ground, and the group of sages, never leave this forest. (51)
Thus, this mountain is always peaceful and terrifying, but now, due to the presence of the Jina, it is only peaceful. (52)
Look, in this forest, the lions are cohabiting with the elephants. The lions are freely touching the elephant paths made by their claws. (53)
The deer, followed by their young, enter the caves, which are inhabited by the Charanas and sages, without fear, along with the vicious animals like lions, tigers, and hunters. (54)
Oh, what a wonder! Even the animals, who are unaware of the fear and beauty of the forest, are following the sages. (55)
This mountain, which is served by the eight-legged creatures called Ashtapad, who have meaningful names, will be known as Ashtapad after you ascend it. (56)
The constellation of stars, which is approaching the edge of this mountain, where many jewels are shining, is not visible due to the brilliance of the jewels, which hides its circle. (57)
