Chapter Twenty-Eight
The bodies of the Shyama Angiras are emaciated, their bellies thin, and their bodies covered with fluttering leaves like garments. [38] They are beautiful, with hair tied with the hair of the chamari cow, and their necks adorned with garlands of guñjā flowers. [36] They are fragrant with the scent of musk deer, and they gather the earth scented with musk, desiring to make it into ornaments. [40] The daughters of the Pulinda, amazed by the sight of the army, are truly beautiful, and the Lord saw them from afar. [41] Some of the Mleccha kings offered the hair of the chamari cow, and some offered the musk deer's navel, to the Lord. [42] There, thousands upon thousands of fortresses of the Antapalas, having obtained the Chakra, were gathered together by the commander-in-chief. [43] The Antapalas, with salutations, offered to the Lord an abundance of rare jewels and treasures of gold and silver. [44] Then, with his army, he traversed a long distance and reached the gate of the Ganga, and then he reached the ocean, which was like himself, insurmountable. [45] He saw the water of the island, which was like the sweat of the ocean, surging out of the ocean and gathering in a deep place. [46] From the beginning of the Yuga, when the rain began, the water, due to the influence of time, had grown and reached the end of the island. [47] Because it was insurmountable, very deep, and surrounded the entire island, the island water, surging out of the ocean, became the Upsamudra. [48] Seeing that Upsamudra, Bharat, going by a pleasant path, entered the army in the inner part of the Ganga grove. [49]
