The mountain, adorned with towering peaks that stretch far and wide, appears as if a multitude of flag-bearing celestial chariots have descended upon it for rest. (66) It stands majestically, extending its arms into the ocean on both its eastern and western sides, as if seeking friendship with the sea, fearing the three fires. (67) Its waterfalls, ever nourishing the trees on its banks, seem to proclaim, "The Lord must protect those who seek refuge at his feet." (68) The mountain, with its roaring sound, appears as if a river-bride, adorned with high and low stones, is laughing, her waters splashing upwards from the falls. (69) The fire that burns on its peaks seems unable to consume the vast expanse of its forest, as if it is climbing the peaks to reach the sky. (70) The mountain's peaks, surrounded by the blazing fire of the summer months, appear to the forest dwellers like golden objects in the presence of Indra. (71) The mountain's forest, sometimes teeming with elephants or Chandals, snakes or low-born people, and filled with thorns or troublesome individuals, presents a sorrowful or deplorable sight. (72) The forest, though filled with intoxicated elephants, is also devoid of them; though lacking leaves, it is still adorned with leaves and buds. (73)
