19. She swang in her swinging cradle of bluish blossoms, and was adorned with various floral ornaments from her head to foot. 20. She moved about the flowers in the garb of the sylvan goddess and looking with her cerulean eyes of fluttering blue-bees on all sides; and sang to them in the sweet notes of the black kokila in the arbours. 21. The bees tired with their labour of love, refreshed themselves with sipping the dew-drops trickling on the tops of the flowers, and then making their repast on the farinaceous meal, slept together with their mates, in the cells of the flower cups. 22. The couples of bees dwelling in the cells of flowers, and giddy with sipping the honey of the flower cups; were humming their love tunes to one another. 23. The sage remained attentive for a moment to the murmur, proceeding from the village beyond the forest; and now he listened with pricked up ears, to the busy buzz of blue-bees and flies at a distance. 24. The sages then beheld with their down cast looks on moon-beams, which were spread like a sheet of fine linen on the blades of grass upon the ground below. 25. They beheld the beautiful antelopes, which slept in their leafy beds on the ground, below the stretching boughs of shady trees, as if they were the progeny of their native forest. 26. They saw the fearless birds chirping upon the branches, and others sleeping confident in their nests; and they beheld the ground covered by living creatures, feasting on the ripe fruits fallen below. 27. They saw the long lines of black-bees, lying mute on the ground like strings of beads, and blackening it with their sable bodies. 28. The forest was redolent with fragrance, and the sky was overhung by a cloud of flowers; the dust of Kadamba blossoms tinged the ground with ambergrees, and the Kadamba fruits covered the face of the land. 29. What need is there of saying more, than that there was no part of the tree, which was not useful to living beings. 30. Here the deer were sleeping on the fallen leaves and there were others resting on the barren ground; the birds sat on the banks and beaches of the rivulets all about that lofty tree. 31. As they were viewing in this manner the beauties of the forest, the night passed away as soon as a night of festivity. 32. The son of the hermit kept conversing with me on many subjects, and derived many useful instructions from my teaching. 33. As we had been conversing with one another on different subjects, the night passed away as soon as that of a conjugal pair. 34. Now it began to dawn, and the blushing flowers commenced to ope their petals; while the host of the stars on high, disappeared from their arena of the sky. 35. I then took my departure, and was followed by the hermit and his son to some distance from their Kadamba tree, where I left them for my aerial course to the heavenly stream.
