This fourth mountain, with its two broad ranges, like two wings, appears as if it wants to fly up, not out of desire for Lakshmi. ||11||
On its pleasant peaks, Kinnaras and celestial serpents, playing for a long time, forget their own homes. ||12||
Its silver-like walls, on which the autumn clouds rest, are revealed by the falling, roaring, and moving drops. ||13||
With its lofty peaks, it holds the abodes of the gods, sparkling with jewels, like the crest jewels, preceded by Siddha temples. ||14||
It bears its high peaks, like crowns, on the earth-bearer, adorned with precious stones, worthy of praise by gods and demons. ||15||
It holds two caves, with a resounding vajra-like gate, like a long, fortified fortress, for the protection of its essence. ||16||
From its side, the Ganga and Sindhu, great rivers, have come from the blue mountain, and taken refuge at the foot of this pure and unblemished mountain. ||17||
It is adorned with many forests standing near its banks, and thus bears the splendor of the one who wears blue clothes, the great Balabhadra. ||18||
It bears a high forest-altar, surrounding the forest, like a beautiful boundary or limit of beauty, created by someone. ||19||
The fragrant wind blows gently through the Kalpa trees on this mountain, carrying the sweet sound of the anklets of the Vidyadharis who roam about. ||20||
This mountain, with its eastern and western extremities, breaks the boundaries of the directions, and speaks of its own greatness, the protector of the world. ||21||
The long practice of austerity is the reason why the nails of those munis are large, and just as a lion is courageous, so too are those munis extremely courageous and valiant. ||22||
