## The Thirty-Fifth Chapter
175. He saw, in some paddy fields, clusters of grains, some of which had been snatched away by parrots, looking like women enjoyed by men of low caste.
31. The fragrant paddy, exhaling a sweet scent, perfumed the directions with its breath, adorned with paddy ears as earrings.
32. They were adorned with pearl-like ornaments, created by drops of sweat falling from their plump breasts.
33. They wore braids adorned with garlands of blue lotuses, their foreheads decorated with pollen-dusted kumkum.
34. They bore, like tiny particles of beauty, drops of sweat born of toil, clinging to their sun-weary faces.
35. He saw the paddy-guarding women, their bodies adorned with green blouses, the color of parrot feathers, chasing away the parrots with their charming cries.
36. He saw sugarcane fields, the sound of the grinding mills echoing like cries of pain, as if they were suffering from extreme distress.
37. He saw newly-delivered cows, their bodies heavy with milk, moving slowly, burdened by their large breasts, and eager for their calves.
38. Thus, seeing the beautiful outskirts of the city, he felt fulfilled, having witnessed this joyous spectacle.
39. The land outside the city, with its canals flowing with water, surrounded by fields of paddy, sugarcane, and cumin, captivated his mind.
40. The city's outskirts, with their wells, tanks, gardens, and clusters of lotuses, appeared to him like a beautiful garland.
41. Passing through the city gates, he observed the merchants' paths, where he saw heaps of jewels, as if they were piled up.
42. The messenger also heard the sound of the gourd, a sound that praised the farmers and their families, a sound that marked the struggle of harvesting the fields.
