The thirtieth day, arising from the rustling of dry leaves blown by the wind, the army of Bharata heard the murmuring sound in the palm groves. ||15|| The emperor Bharata saw betel nut trees standing together with betel vines, thinking, "We all have the same purpose." ||16|| Seeing the betel nut trees, which were the support of the betel vines and which, clinging to them, seemed like couples, the emperor Bharata was very pleased. ||17|| Bharata saw the birds, who were dwelling in the forests at sunset, making continuous sounds, as if they were sages engaged in their studies at sunset. ||18|| The soldiers ate the jackfruit, which are soft inside and have thorns on the outer skin, as if they were ambrosia. ||19|| There was coconut juice to drink, jackfruit to eat, and pepper for seasoning; thus, the food arrangements in the forest for the soldiers seemed comfortable. ||20|| Bharata also saw the birds, who were making some sounds after eating the sweet, wet pepper and whose eyes were shedding tears. ||21|| The emperor saw the young monkeys, who were eating the clusters of pepper without any fear and then shaking their heads because of the spiciness. ||22|| Seeing the trees, which were laden with fruits and were beneficial to people, the people became free from doubt about the existence of Kalpavriksha trees. ||23|| The forest trees, which were entwined with vine-like women and were full of many fruits, seemed to be giving gifts to the soldiers with their fruits, as if they were giving gifts to Bharata. ||24|| The women of the Sinhala island, who were intoxicated by coconut wine and whose eyes were rolling, were singing the praises of Bharata in a deep, resonant voice. ||25||
