## The Twenty-Sixth Chapter
5. The sky seemed to have cleansed itself, the moon appeared to have washed itself, the rivers seemed to have purified themselves, and the directions seemed to have been swept clean. || 38 ||
The people's eyes were filled with great joy in the moon-disc, which was like a mirror reflecting the face of the autumn-goddess, Lakshmi, and which was extremely bright without needing to be polished. || 39 ||
The rows of trees, fragrant and adorned with flowers, were being enjoyed by the bees, who were making a loud buzzing sound. || 40 ||
The vines in the forest, with their blooming flowers, were smiling, and they were adorned with beautiful hair, being filled with groups of bees blinded by their fragrance. They looked like slender women. || 41 ||
The bulls, with their hooves digging into the earth, their eyes red, and angered by the sight of other bulls, were roaring in response to the sounds of the other bulls. || 42 ||
With their deep roars, the bulls were digging into the forest floor, which was covered with the fragments of lotus stalks. || 43 ||
In that autumn season, the bulls, with their shoulders covered in mud and white like the Kumuda flower, were adorned with the beauty of the moon, which had clear markings. || 44 ||
The excellent cows, with their milk flowing freely, were spreading their milk over the entire forest floor, roaming here and there within the woods. || 45 ||
Similarly, the cows, who had given birth once, with their breasts heavy like pots and pure like they were made of a lump of nectar, were shining in the middle of the forests, like the beauty of autumn. || 46 ||
