The Twenty-Sixth Chapter
13
The Lord saw the farmers, who were distressed by the plundering of their fields, running around in confusion. || 120 || He also saw the fields, which were filled with farmers, who were cutting the crops and moving around. || 121 || He saw the paths near the villages, which were muddy and uneven due to the footprints of cows. || 122 || He saw the powerful village chiefs standing around the villages, and the large gardens, which were served by birds, animals, and humans. || 123 || He passed by the villages, which were surrounded by fences covered with gourds and pumpkins, and where even a rooster could fly from one place to another. || 124 || He was delighted to see the beautiful creepers, laden with fruits and flowers, near the huts. || 125 || The women of the villages, adorned with golden necklaces and bangles, were standing in the shade of the fences, and they captivated the mind of the Lord. || 126 || The elders of the villages, with pots of ghee, vessels of curd, and various fruits, came to pay their respects to him. || 127 || Then, the valiant Lord, along with his army, traveled many miles and reached the banks of the Ganga River. || 128 || There, he saw the Ganga River, which was adorned with his glory, just as the Ganga River was adorned by the Himalayas, and just as his glory was revered and supreme, so was the Ganga River. || 129 || He saw the Ganga River, which was flowing with pure water, and which was like a wish-fulfilling tree, reflecting his glory. || 130 || He saw the Ganga River, which was like a beautiful bride, adorned with a large shawl, with her eyebrows raised in anticipation of the arrival of the fish. ||
