Sūta Said: The clear waters of the lakes were spreading out due to the moving lotuses which were set in motion by the wind from the fluttering of the wings of swans. Flocks of peacocks danced elegantly on seeing the plantain trees on the banks of these lakes set in motion by the waters coming to their roots. The lands in some places appeared beautiful due to the eyelets on the feathers strewn on the ground from the tails of these peacocks. In these spots, inebriate pigeons and doves of the species called “Hārīta” lurked leisurely and rejoiced.
