Adipurana
Seeing the great glory of the mountain, after climbing a little distance, the purohita said, "This is the right opportunity." ||36||
See, O Dev, the many wonders of this mountain, where even the gods, though residing in heaven, play with disrespect. ||37||
The glory of this mountain, which surpasses all worlds, is sufficient in itself, because the Lord Vrishabhadeva, the Guru of the movable and immovable, resides on it. ||38||
This great mountain, like a lustful man, always bears in its lap, i.e., in its lower middle part, the river-like women, whose blue water-like garments are falling off. ||39||
This lion, though non-violent, is pulling a large serpent from the cave of the mountain for the sake of play only, but being unable to pull it due to its length, he is also releasing it. ||40||
This mountain bears on its banks such forest regions, which seem like the munis, because just as the munis bear all kinds of dualities, i.e., cold, heat, etc., so do these forest regions bear all kinds of dualities, i.e., animals, birds, etc., just as the munis do good to all, so do these forest regions do good to all, and just as the munis remove the suffering, i.e., mental anguish, of the masses, so do these forest regions remove the suffering, i.e., the heat generated by the sun. ||41||
This mountain, with its roaring waterfalls, seems as if it is threatening, i.e., scolding, the lions who have torn the heads of intoxicated elephants with their claws, for fear of sin. ||42||
O Lord, just as you bear, i.e., keep under your control, many kings, who are your companions, i.e., servants, noble, born in a high family, and having excellent bodies, so does this mountain bear, i.e., keep under its control, the wild elephants, who are its companions, i.e., those who walk on its peaks, having a high ridge on their backs, and belonging to a noble race. ||43||
Here, these eight-legged creatures, mistaking the roaring groups of clouds for elephants, jump on them, but then fall down and meet a deplorable fate. ||44||
The branches, whose bark is rubbed off due to the rubbing of the cheeks, and which are wet with the saliva of the elephants, indicate the enjoyment of the forest by the elephants. ||45||
Seeing the lion tearing with its claw-like shoots, understanding the meaning. ||35||
Bharata Maharaja, after climbing a little further, when he started seeing the beauty of the mountain, then the purohita, having got the opportunity, said the following words. ||36||
O Dev, see the many wonder-filled regions of this mountain, where even the gods, though residing in heaven, play with disrespect. ||37||
The glory of this mountain, which surpasses all worlds, is sufficient in itself, because the Lord Vrishabhadeva, the Guru of the movable and immovable, resides on it. ||38||
