In that wondrous realm, a forest of astonishing abundance unfolded before the eyes of the lord of Madra. Everywhere, the land was adorned with groves of kirata, kinkirata, ketaka, and white ketaka trees, their blooms mingling with the shobhanjana, anjana, and sukalinga-nikotaka trees. Golden-hued and beautiful-wooded trees stood tall beside excellent asana trees, while mango trees, shaped like the arrows of Kama, delighted all who beheld them. The air was fragrant with yellow and white yuthika, jasmine, champaka-jati, and the bright blossoms of tumba and atumba trees. There were mocha, locha, lakucha, and tila flowers, as well as kusesha, supushpavarana, chavyaka, and the kamivallabha trees, each contributing their own charm to the scene. The bakula, paribhadra, haridra, dhara-kadamba, kutaja, kadamba, and mountain kutaja trees were all heavy with flower buds, promising further beauty. Amidst these, the aditya-mustaka, kumbha, saffron, kamavallabha, katphala, badara, and nipa trees shone like bright lamps in the lush greenery. Red palivana and white pomegranate trees grew side by side with champaka, bandhu, subandhu, and various other groves. Patala flowers, jasmine, karavira, kurabaka, himavara, jambu, and royal jambu trees displayed their blossoms in vibrant array. Seed pods hung from branches, camphor and fragrant agarwood perfumed the air, and the trees bore fruit and their reflections in the clear water, while flourishing offspring and vines climbed everywhere. Guggul trees, white hintala palms, sugarcanes, and oleanders—free of tangled grass—stood among ashokas and cakramardas. Pilu trees, dhataki, dense ciribilva, tamarind, lodhra, vidanga, and milky sap trees added to the diversity. There were ashmantaka, kala, jambira, white kadamba, bhallataka, indrayava, valguja, and other trees known to bring success. Nagakesara trees delighted with their beautiful blossoms, while karamarda, kasamarda, arishtaka, varishtaka, rudraksha, grapes, saptahva, and putrajivaka grew in profusion. Kankola, cloves, cinnamon trees, parijata, creepers of long pepper, and portions of nagavalli filled the air with their spicy scents. Maricha creepers intertwined with new jasmine, splendid pavilions of grapes, and atimukta vines, forming natural bowers. Trellises of trapusha and nartika bore beautiful fruits, while kushmanda and sometimes alabu climbed over others. Chirbhita, patola, and karavella vines climbed up trellises, and canopies of karkoṭaki sheltered eggplants with large, impressive fruits. Among the thorns grew radishes, root vegetables, kahlaras, vidari, ruruṭa, and sweet-thorned plants, all thriving in this fertile land. Diverse medicinal herbs shone brightly, offering long life, fame, and strength, while others dispelled old age, death, fear, and hunger, and brought good fortune—countless healing plants flourished there. Cane creepers, kīcaka bamboo, kāśa grass, moon-like kāśa, and thickets of reeds grew in wild profusion. Delightful kusa thickets and pleasing stands of sugarcane mingled with rare and auspicious clusters of cotton plants. Clusters of bananas, charming and excellent, grew in regions that resembled emerald, adorned with lush green turf. The ground was bright with irā flowers, portions of saffron, tagara, ativiṣa, māṃsī, granthika, and fragrant surāgada. Golden flowers and other terrestrial blossoms mingled with jambira and ground grasses, while lakes reflected the beauty of parrots flitting among the branches. Ginger, ajamoda, kuberaka, priyāla, aquatic plants, and various fragrant, multicolored creepers added their own colors and scents. Some plants shone with the colors of the rising sun, their radiance like that of the sun and moon, golden in hue, and akin to the blossoms of the flax flower. Others resembled the leaves of the śūka plant, and various terrestrial leaves appeared in portions, adorned with five colors and many hues. Lotuses, pleasing to the observer’s eye, floated on the water, while water lilies shone like the moon. Blossoms shaped like tongues of fire and auspicious elephant-faced lotuses added wonder to the scene. Blue lotuses, kahlāra flowers, guñjā, ataka, and keseru plants flourished beside śṛṅgāṭaka reeds, mṛṇāla stalks, karaṭa fruits, and silver lotuses. Aquatic and terrestrial roots, fruits, and especially flowers abounded, and various kinds of nīvāra grains, fit for ascetics to eat, grew in plenty. Indeed, there was no grain, crop, vegetable, fruit, root, tuber, or flower that could not be found in this place. Whatever divine produce arose in the realm of the nāgas, whatever grew in the world of men, whatever came from marshes or forests—nothing was absent there, O ruler. All things always bore flowers and fruits, unfading, according to the seasons; the lord of Madra beheld all this, the result of his own great austerity. In that same realm, he saw birds of many forms and colors: peacocks, lotuses, kalaviṅkas, and cuckoos. He saw kādambaka birds, swans, koyaṣṭī birds, khañjarīṭa birds, kurara birds, kālakūṭa birds, khaṭvāṅga birds, and even hunters. Gokṣveḍaka, kumbha, dhārtarāṣṭra, śuka parrots, baka cranes, ghātuka, chakravāka ducks, kaṭuka, ṭiṭṭibha, and bhaṭa birds moved in flocks. There were putrapriya, lohapṛṣṭha, gocarma, and girivartaka birds, pigeons, kamala birds, sārikā, and jīvajīvika, each adding to the symphony of the forest. Lāvaka, vartaka, vārtāka, raktavartma, prabhadraka, copper-crested, golden-crested, domestic fowl, and wooden fowl mingled together. Kapiñjala, kalaviṅka, kuṅkuma-crested, bhṛṅgarāja, sīrapāda, bhūliṅga, and new ḍiṇḍima birds completed the wondrous assembly. Thus, the lord of Madra beheld a land where the bounty of trees, plants, blossoms, and birds surpassed imagination, a vision granted by the power of his austerity and the blessings of that sacred place.
