Now follows the arrival of Nārada near Padmāvatī who dwells in the garden:
The Earth said: / The name of the son of Ākāśarāja was spoken by the Lord. / What name did he then give to his daughter who was not born from a womb? // 1
Śrī Sūta said: / Thus asked, Śrī Varāha, the Lord of the universe, spoke again: // 2
Śrī Varāha said: / Wise King Ākāśarāja, seeing her lying on a lotus, // 3
gave that daughter of the earth the name Padminī. / Now, when she had attained youth and was surrounded by her female friends, // 4
sporting in a pleasure-grove echoing with parrots and cuckoos, / Nārada, the best of sages, arrived there by chance. // 5
Beholding her like the goddess of the forest, he spoke thus in wonder: // 6
Nārada said: / "Who are you, timid maiden? Whose daughter are you? Show me your hand." / Addressed thus, she of most charming limbs revealed herself to the sage: // 7
"O brahmin, I am the daughter of King Ākāśarāja; tell me my auspicious marks." / Spoken to in this way, Nārada, the best of sages, then replied: // 8
Now the marks of Padmāvatī's body as described by Nārada:
Nārada said: / "Listen, fair-faced one! I shall declare your bodily marks to you. / O lady with lovely eyebrows, your feet are firm, endowed with petals of red lotuses. // 9
Your toes are even, red, and endowed with red, elevated nails. / Your ankles are concealed and symmetrical; your shanks are hairless and auspicious. // 10
Your knees are even and very smooth; your thighs are even and gradually broad. / Your buttocks are wide and plump; your hips are indeed worthy of meditation! // 11
Your navel is circular and deep; both your flanks are plump. / Your waist is delicate with three folds and adorned with a line of hair. // 12
Your breasts are plump, firm, smooth, elevated, and have recessed nipples. / Your hands resemble red lotuses, endowed with lotus lines,
extremely delicate, with reddish joints and unbroken, even fingers, // 13
adorned with a row of nails having the form of a parrot's beak.
