[Third Chapter: Description of the Forest] Those who understand the subtle. What kind of sound is produced by the vibration of the grass and gems, caused by the wind coming from the east, west, south, and north, especially when it vibrates, vibrates repeatedly, is agitated, moved, and pulsates, and when it is stimulated? Like a Shibika (a special palanquin with a covered canopy), a Syandamanika (a large palanquin, the size of a man, with a special jumpan), and a Sangram Rath (whose platform is the size of a man's waist), which is adorned with umbrellas, flags, large bells hanging on both sides, a magnificent torana, Nandighosh (the sound of twelve types of musical instruments), small bells (ghughrus), adorned with golden garlands all around, made of tinish wood with beautiful and charming pictures of the Himalayas, inlaid with gold, with well-fitted axles and a strong axle, with iron bands on the wheels, adorned with excellent horses, driven by a skilled and expert charioteer, with thirty-two tunir, each with one hundred arrows, with a helmet as its crown, full of various weapons like bows, arrows, spears, and their coverings, and decorated for the battle of warriors, when it moves rapidly in the royal court, or in the inner palace, or on the floor inlaid with gems, going back and forth, what kind of generous, pleasing, ear and mind-satisfying sound comes out from all sides, is that the sound of those grasses and gems? O Gautam! This meaning is not true. O Bhagavan! Just as a Vaitalika (a mangalpathica) Veena, which is played even in the absence of a taal, is adorned with a murcchana called Uttaramanda (under the Gandhar swara), is placed properly in the lap of the player, is rubbed with a cone (vadan danda) made of sandalwood, is held by a skilled male or female player, and when it is vibrated gently and especially, played, agitated, moved, pulsated, rubbed, and stimulated in the morning and evening, what kind of generous, pleasing, ear and mind-satisfying sound comes out from all sides, is that the sound of those grasses and gems?
