SECTION –CLI
(Tirtha-yatra Parva Continued)
Vaisampayana said, "When that foremost of
monkeys had gone away, Bhima, the best of strong men, began to range the huge
Gandhamadana along that path. And he went on, thinking of Hanuman's body and
splendour unrivalled on earth, and also of the greatness and dignity of
Dasaratha's son. And proceeding in search of the place filled with lotuses of that
kind, Bhima beheld romantic woods, and groves, and rivers, and lakes graced
with trees bearing blossoms, and flowery woodlands variegated with various
flowers. And, O Bharata, he beheld herds of mad elephants besmeared with mud,
resembling masses of pouring clouds. And that graceful one went on with speed,
beholding by the wayside woods wherein there stood with their mates deer of
quick glances, holding the grass in their mouths. And fearless from prowess,
Bhimasena, as if invited by the breeze-shaken trees of the forest ever fragrant
with flowers, bearing delicate coppery twigs, plunged into the mountainous
regions inhabited by buffaloes, bears and leopards. And on the way, he passed
by lotus-lakes haunted by maddened black-bees, having romantic descents and
woods, and on account of the presence of lotus-buds, appearing as if they had
joined their hands (before Bhima). And having for his provisions on the journey
the words of Draupadi, Bhima went on with speed, his mind and sight fixed on
the blooming slopes of the mountain. And when the sun passed the meridian, he
saw in the forest scattered over with deer, a mighty river filled with fresh
golden lotuses. And being crowded with swans and Karandavas, and graced with
Chakravakas, the river looked like a garland of fresh lotuses put on by the
mountain. And in that river that one of great strength found the extensive
assemblage of Saugandhika lotuses, effulgent as the rising sun, and delightful
to behold. And beholding it, Pandu's son thought within himself that his object
had been gained, and also mentally presented himself before his beloved worn
out by exile."
