The King Purûravâ was greatly charmed to see that beautiful river, the waters of which were intermingled with the rut of the celestial elephants, the middle of which was shaped like the bow of Indra. It was the home of many ascetics, was worshipped by a multitude of Brâhmans, and was of golden colours. Its surface is covered with a row of snow-white flamingoes, and seemed to be fanned by kâśa châmara. Many a pious one sprinkled its water on his head. It appeared to the king to be beautiful, and subject to waxing and waning like the moon, and the giver of great joy.—2-5.
