## Thirty-ninth Chapter
The horses, with their bridles and other equipment removed, were sniffing the ground with their quivering nostrils, eager to roll. || 112 ||
Covered in dense pollen of lotuses, the horses were shaking their bodies gently near the lakes, trying to rid themselves of the dust. || 113 ||
The wind, carrying a mass of lotus pollen, created a beautiful canopy in the sky, as if a grand pavilion had been erected for the horses. || 114 ||
The great horses, disgusted by the dusty earth, rose quickly and plunged into the waters of the lakes. || 115 ||
The horses, covered in lotus pollen, entered the water, their bodies washed clean. Yet, they still retained the beauty of their adornment, thanks to the pollen clinging to their coats. || 116 ||
The horses, their fatigue gone after bathing in the lakes and drinking their fill, stood under the large pavilions, their eyes half-closed. || 117 ||
The camps of King Bharata's elephants were appropriately located in groves of coconut and palm trees, their tall bodies a sight to behold. || 118 ||
The forest floor, uneven due to the fallen coconuts, was cleared to make way for the elephants. || 119 ||
The mahouts, seeing the elephants thirsty and exhausted, their trunks spraying water, led them to the lakes to quench their thirst. || 120 ||
The mahouts led the elephants, their slow pace revealing their fatigue, to the lakes for a bath. || 121 ||
