Sanskrit Original
नन्दनं विविधोद्यानं चित्रं चैत्ररथं यथा।।
nandanaṅ vividhōdyānaṅ citraṅ caitrarathaṅ yathā৷৷
The grove with different types of gardens spread over looked like the Nandana garden of Indra and Chaitraratha garden of Kubera. It surpassed every other garden. It was unimaginable in splendour. It was divine and delightful filled with the radiance of countless varieties of blossoms shining like stars, like a second firmament. It was like another ocean filled with precious gems of flowers. It had trees with flowers of honeyscented fragrance. Sounds of animals and birds filled the air. It was pleasing to the heart with various divine fragrances wafted (by the breeze)৷৷
