The Devas are ever at play in tanks made shady by the leaves of the lotus and white by the water-lilies moved to and fro by the wings of the swan; in tanks rendered agreeable by the music of the swan, the duck, the curlew and the ruddy-goose and by the water animals, resting in the shade of the hijjal growing on the banks; in places where there are rivers adorned by lines of curlew birds serving as a girdle with beads, full of the sweet music of the swans with the watery sheet for robes and with the ilisha fish for belts; in places where there are rivers with blossomed trees on their banks for their head ornaments, with the junction of the streams as their loins, the sandbanks as their breasts and with the counding swans as their ankle beads.
