## Adipurana
They saw the excellent river Narmada in the middle of the Vindhyachal, spreading like the ocean, its fame reaching far and wide. Its flow was full of waves, like the long braid of the earth, or like the banner of victory of the Vindhyachal, proclaiming its conquest over all other mountains. The birds were flying above it, disturbed by the commotion of the army, and for a moment, it seemed as if the river had erected a welcoming archway for the emperor's arrival.
The Narmada truly became a source of joy for the queens, as she pushed them with fish near their thighs while they crossed the river. Crossing the Narmada, whose birds were flying up due to the commotion of the people, the army marched towards the north of the Vindhyachal, considering it their destination.
Bharata saw the Vindhyachal on both the south and north sides. The mountain, appearing on both sides, seemed to have divided itself and offered itself to both directions. The camp of Bharata's army was situated on both banks of the Narmada, and it was so magnificent that it seemed to be another Vindhyachal, encompassing the original one with its vastness.
The camp and the Vindhyachal were indistinguishable, for just as there were elephants in the camp, so too were there large black rocks, like elephants, in the Vindhyachal. And just as there were many horses roaming in the camp, so too were there many Kinnaras with horse-like faces roaming in the Vindhyachal. (In the tradition of poets, the faces of Kinnaras are described as being like those of horses.)
The army had consumed all the fruits, leaves, and trees of the Vindhyachal, and had stripped the vines and small plants of their flowers. Therefore, the Vindhyachal became barren at that time, devoid of fruits, flowers, and other such things.
The soldiers, worshipping the Jina with rice mixed with pearls, enjoyed themselves freely in the pleasant Vindhyachal.
