The Adi Purana
On the Trikūṭa mountain, in the Malaya range, and at the Pandya gateway, the Kinnara women sang the praises of the emperor with deep voices. ||26|| In the forests at the foot of the Malaya mountains and in the Sahya range, the women of the forest sang the emperor's victory. ||27|| The wind blew softly, carrying the fragrance of sandalwood gardens, and it carried away the droplets of water from the waterfalls of the Malaya mountains. ||28|| Though the wind was free to roam in all directions, it still honored the emperor's hospitality, as if it were a dutiful servant, and it relieved his fatigue. ||29|| The Kerala women, young and beautiful, wandered through the groves of tamala trees, their breath fragrant with the scent of cardamom and cloves, their breasts adorned with thick sandalwood paste, their hips swaying gracefully, their smiles like blooming flowers of love, their voices sweet as the cuckoo's song, their movements graceful as the swaying of vines, their feet dancing lightly, their bodies adorned with pearls, their voices singing intoxicating songs that charmed the bees. ||30-34|| Thus, the emperor Bharata, having conquered the south with his victorious army, bowed to the rulers of the Chola, Kerala, and Pandya kingdoms. ||35||
