with eyes closed by sleep he saw in a dream a tree of coral gems (Pārijāta druma), got out immediately from the Nethers' (Prasātala).
When he woke up in line with the working of the dream he presumed that his meeting with his friend was a matter of smaller time.?
As he marched on he found that the wild tuskers had started clapping their earflaps with the globular pates and had, therefore, started a trumpet call. The trees showered forth over his head, the grains of wild unhusked rice. The bees humming in clusters had started a Brahmaghoșa (i.e. a chanting of Vedic mantras) as it were. The swans racing in front, had been directing the way, as it were. The wild antelopes standing facing the east, were, as if saluting him with circumambulations, at every step. His courage to advance ahead was being redoubled by the throbbing of the right eye and tip of the arm, at every moment. Hence the flapping of the ears of the elephants, falling of rice-grains from plants, the humming of bees during a match, the racing of swans in front, the presence of deer in the east are all auspicious omens which coupled with the throbbing of the right eye corroborate the idea of suspiciousness most eminently.

Has my sire started for the wilds? Has my mother started
