The forests of the Lotus Hill,[643]

Where every one in strength and size

With the stupendous Anjan[644] vies.

Call those, with tints of burnished gold

Whom Maháśaila's caverns hold:

Those who on Dhúmra roam, or hide

In the wild woods on Meru's side.

Call those who, brilliant as the sun,

On high Maháruṇ leap and run,

Quaffing sweet juices that distil
