The thirty-first chapter:
The Sindhu River, as if pleased by the arrival of the Lord, served the army commanders with its gentle waves and winds, bringing them comfort.
Seeing the Sindhu River, adorned with the descriptions of the Ganga and filled with foam, approaching, the Lord of wealth (Bharata) considered the northern direction as conquered.
Following the banks of the Sindhu River, with his armies, the king subdued the rulers of the north, and slowly reached the peak of the Vijayardha mountain.
From afar, the Lord saw the Vijayardha mountain, adorned with nine peaks made of gems, as if it were offering an arghya (offering) with its peaks.
The mountain, with its branches swaying in the wind, seemed to be calling out to the victorious Lord, who had arrived from afar.
The mountain, with its waterfalls cascading from its peaks, seemed to be offering water for the Lord's feet, as if welcoming him.
The mountain, adorned with trees like Punnaga, Nagakesara, and Areca nut, and with beautiful forests on its banks, seemed to be inviting the Lord to rest.
The mountain, with its forest spreading a canopy of pollen carried by the wind, and with cuckoos singing like drums, seemed to be standing in respect of the Lord.
What more need be said? The mountain, with its abundant expressions of welcome, seemed to be honoring the Lord, who was ready to conquer the directions.
Passing through the high toranas (gateways) and crossing the elevated platform of the forest, the army, controlled by the army commanders, entered the forest.
The forest, surrounded by armies spreading in all directions, was filled with the cries of birds and the sighs of the wind.
