The four forests were worthy of being served like excellent women, for they were beautiful like excellent women, *medur* (extremely smooth), *unnidra kusuma* (with blooming flowers, in the context, with the season of menstruation), *sashri* (with splendor), and *kamad* (giving desired things, in the context, giving love). || 178 ||
Or, those forests were adorned like the *uttariya* (scarf) of women, for just as the *uttariya* of women removes the obstacle of the sun, so too did those forests remove the obstacle of the sun, just as the *uttariya* of women is adorned with excellent *pallava* (fringe), so too were those forests adorned with *pallava* (new tender leaves), and just as the *uttariya* of women touches the *payodhara* (breasts), so too were those forests touching the *payodhara* (clouds) due to their height. || 179 ||
Of those four forests, the first was the *ashoka* forest, which destroyed the sorrow of beings, and was adorned with red flowers and new leaves, as if it were vomiting its own love (affection). || 180 ||
The second forest, of *saptachchada* trees, which bore seven leaves on each knot, was also adorned, and it seemed as if it were showing the seven supreme places of the Lord, such as *sajatitva*, *sadgrihasthattva*, *paritrajya*, etc., on each knot of the trees. || 181 ||
The third forest of *champaka* trees, adorned with the weight of flowers, was also adorned, and it seemed as if the forest of *dipaanga* class of *kalpavriksha* trees had come to serve the Lord. || 182 ||
And the fourth forest of mango trees, beautiful with the sweet sounds of cuckoos, was also adorned, as if it were praising the Lord who gives pure teachings. || 183 ||
In the middle of the *ashoka* forest, there was a large *ashoka* tree, which was situated on a high platform made of gold with three cuts. || 184 ||
That tree was surrounded by three *kotas* (forts) in which there were four gates, and near it were placed auspicious things like *chhatra* (umbrella), *chamara* (fly whisk), *bhriṅgāra* (perfume), and *kalasha* (pot). || 185 ||
Just as the *jambu* tree is adorned in the middle of the *jambu* island, so too was that *ashoka* tree, called *chaitavriksha*, adorned in the middle of that *ashoka* forest. || 186 ||
