"Satyavâna said—Dear ! look at the forest smiling with verdure and nice trees The whole atmosphere is so pleasing to the eyes and the nose It indeed fills the mind with amorous feelings Look at the Aśoka trees laden with flowers O one with beautiful eyes ! the spring is really smiling on us Look at the Kiṁśuka blossoms to the south of this beautiful forest The Kiṁśuka flowers look like a blaze of fire and are fragrant Dear ! in this forest flows the wind laden with the sweet aroma of flowers which is so soothing to me To the west are visible the Karnikâra flowers of the golden hue Most of the thoroughfares of this forest are choked with luxuriant blossoms Indeed the whole place abounds with flowers and looks charming—1 6
