13. And there indeed [the great gods highly worshipped by the leaders of their respective attendants] in the mountain valleys of the several continents studded with hermitages and mansions, beautiful forests, looking very splendid and graceful with trees and creepers bending low under the charming load of flowers of all seasons, bunches of fruits and clusters of tender shoots in lakes of crystal waters resonant with the voice of royal swans, water-fowls, sarasa, chakravaka, and other birds rejoiced at breathing the fragrance of full-blown and various kinds of lotus—birds which look like swarms of bees,—the great gods lead as they list a life of pleasure in various forms of diversion such as jalakreeda with their mind (heart) and eyes taken up with the sportful glances, smiles and gait, all charged with love, of most beautiful celestial women.
