32. Lo there the _nálikera_ creepers, diffusing their sourish scent to the breezes, which being acidulated by their sourness, are turning towards the regions of Persia. 33. Here the winds are wafting the odours, of the flowery forests of Ísana on the Kailasa mountain; and there they are breathing with the perfume of the lotuses of the mountain lakes; and blowing away the camphor-white (fleecy) clouds from the face of the sky. 34. The fluid ichor which flows from the frontal proboscis of elephants, is dried and stiffened by the breezes issuing out of the caverns of the Vindhya mountain. 35. The females of the _savara_ foresters, covering their bodies with the dry leaves of trees, and accompanied by their swarthy males, in leafy apparel, have been making a town of their jungle, by extirpating the wild animals, with their iron arrows. 36. Behold, great lord, these seas and mountains, these forests and rivers, and these clouds on all sides, look as if they are all smiling under your auspices, as under the brightness of sun-beams. 37. Here they also describe the flowery beds, of the Vidyádhari wood nymphs; and their sports (which <is> omitted on account of their uselessness). CHAPTER CV. THE SAME SUBJECT CONTINUED.

Those distant and indistinct chains of boundary mountains, appear to stretch themselves like the walls of cities; and those rivers which are seen to fall into the ocean with their gurgling noise; appear as the woof and texture threads of the broad sheet of waters of the ocean. 4. The ten sides of the sky, which are spread over the tops of mountains; appear as the royal consorts, looking on thee from their lofty edifices, and smiling gladly at thy success. The many-coloured and roaring clouds in the sky, resembling the variegated birds of air, warbling their notes on high; and the rows of trees which are dropping down the showers of flowers from high, appear as the arms of heavenly nymphs, shedding their blessings upon thy head with their hands. 5. The high hills overgrown with rows of trees, and stretching all along the sea shore; appear as ramparts; and these being beaten by the surges, seem as mere moss gathered on the coast.
