## Thirty-Second Chapter
123
The forest regions on its edges, adorned with blooming flowers, seem to be laughing, as if they were the laughter of the gardens of the gods, with their own beauty. ||119||
This mountain bears on its head (peak) the beauty that is eternal and imperishable, which the wise remember as the pride of Indraani, the one that removes arrogance. ||120||
On its peak, there is a lake called Padma, where the goddess Shri resides, whose glory has been described extensively by the scriptures, filled with clear water, and adorned with blooming golden lotuses. ||121||
This mountain bears the great rivers Ganga and Sindhu, which flow out from the eastern and western gates of this Padma lake. ||122||
And it also bears the river Rohitasya, which flows out from the northern gate of the Padma lake, towards the north. ||123||
This mountain is adorned with these three uncrossable great rivers, as if it were displaying its own nature as a king of the earth, with the three powers of enthusiasm, mantra, and dominion. ||124||
With its shining peaks, which encompass the directions, this mountain seems to be nailing the sky-like courtyard, as if it were blocking the path of the Siddhas. ||125||
On this mountain king, there are many abodes of the gods, which, with their beauty, even make the great beauty of heaven laugh. ||126||
Even though this mountain has many virtues, it has one great flaw, and that is that, being great itself, it bears on its sides smaller trees, which are not great. ||127||
This mountain bears the resemblance of the world-teacher, Lord Rishabhadeva, because just as Lord Rishabhadeva is exalted by his uncrossable glory, so too is this mountain exalted by its uncrossable glory. And just as Lord Rishabhadeva has encompassed the entire world with his greatness, so too has this mountain encompassed the entire world with its heaviness. ||128||
Meaning: Just as the greatness of Lord Rishabhadeva is famous throughout the world, so too is the heaviness of this mountain famous throughout the world.
