The thorough fares with the blooming trees looked beautiful like the Divine pathways The various kinds of birds were chirping on the branches of these trees The Aśoka trees with their branches bowing down to the ground by the weight of flowers looked highly beautiful. The beautiful blossoms, pervaded with the swarm of singing blackbees, were indistinguishable from the silvery moonbeams playing on them during the night The herds of deer standing in thickets overshadowed by the trees were grazing on green meadows and exhibited a different kind of beauty The wings of swans rubbing against the water and flowers enhanced their beauty The beautiful spots on the peacock feathers dazzled by the reflection of the moonbeams, when those majestic birds danced at other places. Hârita trees looked exceedingly beautiful Somewhere the Sâranga birds added to the beauty of the sylvan splendour, somewhere the air resounded with the melodies of the enchanted Kinnara ladies, somewhere the Munis squatted themselves on the floor of their hermitages strewn with flowers, somewhere the Panasa and mango trees looked beautiful with their plethora of fruits, somewhere the jingling of the anklets of the Siddha ladies filled the space, somewhere the bees swarming on the Kadamba trees made it look sombre, somewhere the air loaded with the perfume of Ambu and Kadamba flowers diffused a madenning smell all round, somewhere the deer standing among the cluster of trees looked exceedingly charming, somewhere were the flowers as white as the moon-beams, somewhere they were of the colour of vermillion and saffron, somewhere flourished the smiling lotuses and somewhere the groups of Aṣoka trees were pointed out to Pârvatî by Śiva.—34 41
