Its water was cool, limpid and sweet; its lotuses abundant and many coloured. Flocks
of swans murmured their sweet notes and the bees made a delightful buzzing. (56)

On that splendid mountain dwells the same bird (Kåkabhu‹uƒŒi), that outlives
even the end of the world. The various good and evil phenomena created by Måyå (the
Cosmic Illusion), and ignorance in its varied forms such as infatuation,lust etc., which
hold sway all over the universe, never touch the precincts of that mountain. Now hear,
Umå, with tender affection how the crow spends his days there in adoring ›r∂ Hari. Under
the Peepul tree he practises meditation; he performs secrifice in the form of Japa
(muttering of prayers) under the Plaka; in the shade of the mango tree he offers mental
worship to the Lord, having no occupation other than adoring ›r∂ Hari; and under the
banyan he narrates episodes from the story of ›r∂ Hari, to hear which many a bird flocks
there. With loving reverence he sings the various marvellous exploits of ›r∂ Råma; the
swans of pure mind, that ever dwell in that lake, all listen to the story. When I arrived
there and saw the spectacle, an intense joy welled up in my heart. (1ó5)

Then, assuming the form of a swan, I sojourned there for some length of time. And,
after reverently listening to the praises of ›r∂ Råma (the Lord of the Raghus), I returned
to Kailåsa. (57)
