Having thus taken leave of Kṛṣṇa, Arjuna and Duryodhana, the descendant of Śūra, surrounded by his army, went to Dvārakā. Arriving at Dvāravatī, which was thronged with glad and well-fed citizens, Rāma Halāyudha drank a draught at the holy bathing places, which are to be visited in future. Having drank his draught, he then marched to the flourishing park of Raivata,[1] taking with him the intoxicated Apsaras-like Revatī. Encircled by a bevy of maidens, the hero went on, intoxicated, stumbling in his walk. And he saw a forest, fascinating, beyond compare, loaded with the fruits and flowers of every season, thronged with troops of monkeys, sacred, dotted with clumps of lotus-flowers, a great forest abounding in pools. Listening to the copious, pleasure-inspiring, love-soft, beautiful, ear-delighting, melodious songs poured forth from the mouths of the birds, he saw the trees there, loaded with the weight of the fruits of every season, bright with the blossoms of every season, rendered resonant by the birds;—mango trees, hog-plums,[2] kāmaraṅgas,[3] cocoanuts, and tindaka trees,[4] and little bel trees,[5] cumin,[6] pomegranates,[7] citrons,[8] jack trees,[9] monkey-jack trees,[10] plantain trees, and very charming kadam trees,[11] and pārāvata trees,[12] kankola trees,[13] nalina trees,[14] docks,[15] marking-nut trees,[16] emblic myrobalans,[17] and gāb trees[18] bearing large fruits, almond trees,[19] karamcha trees,[20] yellow myrobalans,[21] Beleric myrobalans.[22] He, Yadu’s descendant, saw these and other trees, and also aśokas,[23] punnāgas,[24] screw-pines,[25] and vakulas,[26] campakas,[27] saptaparṇas,[28] karṇikāras,[29] and Spanish jasmines,[30] pārijāta trees,[31] kovidāras,[32] mandāras,[33] and jujube trees,[34] delightsome Bignonia trees[35] in blossom, and devdār trees,[36] sāl trees,[37] palmyra palms,[38] and tamālas,[39] kiṃśukas,[40] and fine vañjula trees[41]:—inhabited by cbakors,[42] and woodpeckers, shrikes,[43] and parrots, koīls,[44] and sparrows, green pigeons,[45] and jīvajīvaka pheasants,[46] by priya-putras,[47] and pied-crested cuckoos,[48] and by various other birds, warbling pleasingly and very melodiously:—and the lakes, beautiful and placid, crowded on all sides with the lotus water-lilies,[49] and lotuses,[50] and the brilliant blue water-lilies,[51] with water-lilies,[52] and lotuses;[53] and thronged with kādamba geese,[54] and ruddy shieldrakes[55] and water-fowl,[56] with kāraṇḍava ducks,[57] pelicans,[58] geese,[59] tortoises, and divers;[60] thronged with these and other birds swimming in the water all around.
