29. I mounted on the vehicle of winds, and was borne like fragrance to this mansion through the etherial space.
30. I found this house guarded by its warders, and lighted with lamps, and having a costly bedstead placed in the midst of it.
31. I am looking here upon this corpse, as my husband Vidúratha, who has been sleeping here with his body covered under the flowers, like the vernal god in a flower garden.
32. I thought he was taking his rest, after the fatigue of the warfare, and did not like to disturb his repose in this place.
33. I have now related to you, my gracious goddesses! all that I have seen and thought of, since I have been restored to my new life.
34. The goddess spake:—Now I tell thee Lílá, that hast such beautiful eyes, and movest like a swan, that I will raise the corpse of the king to life from his bed in this bier.
35. Saying so, she breathed the breath of life as the lotus lets off its fragrance; and it fled into the nostrils of the carcase, like a creeping plant crawls into a hole.
36. It entered into the heart through the vital sheath, as the wind penetrates into the hole of a bamboo; and the breath of life was fraught with desires, as the waves of the sea sparkle with pearls.
37. The infusion of life, added to the colour of the face and body of king Padma; as the rain-water refreshes the fading lotus in a drought.
38. By degrees the members of the body became renovated, like a garden with its returning flowering season; and as the sides of a hill become virescent, with fresh grown bushes and creepers.
