5.2.8

sa tasminn acale tiṣṭhan vanāny upavanāni ca
sa nagāgre ca tāṃ laṅkāṃ dadarśa pavanātmajaḥ

The glorious sight a while he viewed,
Then to the town his way pursued.
Around the Vanar as he went
Breathed from the wood delicious scent,
And the soft grass beneath his feet
With gem-like flowers was bright and sweet.
Still as the Vanar nearer drew
More clearly rose the town to view
The palm her fan-like leaves displayed,
Priyálas lent their pleasant shade,
And mid the lower greenery far
Conspicuous rose the Kovidár.
A thousand trees mid flowers that glowed
Hung down their fruit's delicious load,
And in their crests that rocked and swayed
Sweet birds delightful music made.
And there were pleasant pools whereon
The glories of the lotus shone;
And gleams of sparkling fountains, stirred
By many a joyous water-bird.
