The numerous hermitsí habitations in the forest region were like so many towns cities,
villages and hamlets (comprising the kingís dominion). The many birds of various colours
and the beasts of different varieties constituted his countless subjects. The hares, elephants,
lions, tigers, boars, buffaloes and bulls presented a sight which attracted admiration.
Shedding their natural animosities they roamed about together like an army complete in all
its four limbs. Rills of water flowed and mad elephants trumpeted; their noise resembled the
beating of kettledrums of various kinds. cakravåkas, Cakoras, Cåtakas, parrots and
cuckcflos and swans made delightful and merry concert. Swarms of bees hummed and
peacocks danced, which showed as it were that there was universal rejoicing in that
prosperous kingdom. Creepers, trees and blades of grass alike were blossoming and
bore fruit; the entire community thus wore a festive and delightful appearance. (1ó4)
* The five Niyamas or religious observances are: ›auca (external and internal purity), Santoa
(contentment), Tapas (religious austerity). Swådhyåya (study and recitation of the Vedas and muttering or the
chanting of the Divine Name) and I‹wara-Praƒidhåna (self-surrender to and meditation on God).
† Every good state must have the following seven limbs :ó a sovereign, a minister, allies, a treasury,
a principality or dominion, a fortress and an army.
