The attendants said: 'O king, behold here on this battlefield where kings are engaged in combat (saṅgrāma-lagna-sīmānta-bhūbhṛtām). Heaps of weapons are glistening, and armies are dispersing.'

Behold! Thousands of heroes (vīras), both those who are slain and those who confronted (the enemy) directly, are repeatedly being lifted by (other) heroes, and ascend to the sky (khaṃ yānti) in chariots of heavenly maidens (aṅganārathaiḥ). Behold, behold!

When a clear and challenging situation arises again on the battlefield for a conqueror, a battle fought according to natural law (dharmya yuddha) shines forth like lovemaking (surata) in youth.

Wealth (lakṣmī) that is not condemned by people, good health accompanied by prosperity (śrī), and a battle fought according to natural law (dharmya yuddha) for the benefit of others (parārtha) are considered the supreme fruits of life.

A hero who, in battle, slays an enemy who has come face-to-face, doing so in a manner appropriate for a warrior and without violating natural law (dharma), is indeed destined for heaven; no one else is.

Behold, here is he who is dark like a garland of excellent blue lotuses with a sword held in hand, and whose arrival is like the onset of night due to the thick dust raised by horses. See how he moves, displaying the glory (Lakṣmī) of his raised heavy weapons and ornaments.

These (weapons), shining intensely and laden with arrows, spears, maces, slings, lances, swords, kunta-lances, sharp javelins, and discuses, are like hosts of great serpents writhing with their bodies as if on earth, within the agitated ocean that is turbulent with dancing waves.

Behold the sky, filled with mighty oceans of rain-bearing clouds. Behold the sky, adorned with a sparkling necklace of stars. Behold the sky, clinging with very dense clouds, whose only essence is darkness. Behold the sky, bathed in clear moonbeams.

Where the multitude of abodes of numerous gods and demons have become known as stars, and which is the dwelling place of the wandering constellations and all the highest celestial bodies - in that very sky, the notion of it being 'empty' has now truly vanished. What other person is capable of wiping away such public slander created by the ignorant?

Despite countless [assaults] from masses of clouds, fires of dissolution, impacts from the wings of mountains, floods of stars, and the agitated conflicts of gods and demons, the sky (vyoman) even today truly undergoes no fundamental alteration (vikṛti) from its intrinsic nature (prakṛti). Yet, this greatness (mahiman) is not truly perceived by those who lack inner essence, intention, and good qualities.

O wise one! You ceaselessly swing the sun and Nārāyaṇa, the moon, and other radiant luminaries like lightning in your lap within the sky. It is truly astonishing that even with such grandeur, you still do not abandon the inner blindness.

O Sky! You shine where the moon's orb is, yet that darkness of yours, scattered like lamp-black and a dirty blackness, you do not dispel by your very presence and connection (with the moon's light) - this is truly a great wonder! For who, indeed, can defile an already inherent inner impurity (or, make an inner blemish dirtier)?

You are the creator and sustainer of those who observe the growth of cosmic clouds, trees, and creepers. You are also the creator and sustainer of space (ākāśa), the moon, clouds, the sun, kinnaras, groups of winds, and gods. O you whose intention (āśaya) is undisturbed and whose intrinsic nature (svabhāva) is uniformly pure – everything about you is delightful. But alas, dear one, this burning nature of yours is truly a cause for our great sorrow.

O space (ākāśa), you are luminous, pure, clear, a high support, and supremely excellent among the excellent due to your exalted nature. Yet, this hail-cloud, reaching you, sometimes devastates the world. Therefore, you are truly superior to what is base.

O space (ākāśa), I consider your long-term degradation to be merely a constant, uniform attrition, and nothing else. Though you are empty, you carry clouds, stars, celestial chariots, the moon, the sun, and winds, and you shine, proving that you are not devoid of purpose (artha).

During the day, you are luminous and red-bodied, and at day's end, you become dark throughout the watches of the night, completely devoid of all things. You continually bear nothing that truly exists; therefore, not even space (vyoma) comprehends your illusion (māyā) or the subtle actions of even a wise person.

Even a person who possesses nothing, if resolute and firm in their intention, achieves their goals. Similarly, even space (vyoma), though empty within, is the cause of elevation for all.

There is neither grass nor water, no village, not even a named city, no tree providing dense, cooling shade, nor any excellent public water-pavilion (prapā) along its path. Yet, the sun travels its celestial route day after day. Similarly, those of a pure (sāttvika) disposition do not abandon what they have undertaken (prārabdha), even if it is arduous.

The watches of the night adorn the celestial expanse with a curtain of darkness. The cool-rayed moon (śītalaruciḥ) enriches it with abundant camphor-like rays. The day (divasaḥ) embellishes it with a fresh garment for viewing the sun. The sky (dyauḥ) graces it with masses of star-flowers. All seasons (sarvartavaḥ) bedeck it with clouds, frost, water, and various blossoms. In this manner, these entities beautify the courtyard of space (vyomāṅgaṇam) in the three worlds (tribhuvane) for the two masters (nāthayoḥ), whose very essence is Time and its constituent divisions (kālakalātmanoḥ).

Even by the agitations of smoke, clouds, dust, darkness, the sun, moon, twilight, stars, celestial vehicles, Garudas, mountains, gods, and demons, the sky does not abandon its intrinsic nature (prakṛti). Oh, indeed, how wonderfully steadfast is the disposition of a great-souled one!

This upper space (antarikṣa), bound by the walls of the directions, and the surface of the earth (urvī-tala), which serves as a vast repository of dense cities and mountains, adorned by hosts of Vidyādharas, gods, and great serpents, and teeming with swarms of ants representing the multitude of traversing beings (saṃsāra).

Time, action, the world, and its dwelling place, indeed, persist for a long time like an expanding garden. It is feared daily that it is destroyed, yet it is not destroyed even today. Oh, what indeed is this (cosmic) illusion (māyā)!

I believe the sky (kha) restricts the excessive height of trees and similar things. Yet, doership (kartṛtā) arises from the greatness (mahiman) of the great non-doer (akartṛ).

Where millions of worlds neither originate nor truly exist, that void is called space (vyoma). Shame on such uninterrupted scholarship!

They dissolve within space (vyoma) itself, and from space they arise. Such a distinction (abhidā) of another (entity) from God (īśvara) is created by one who falls into this madness.

The glories of creation (sargaśriyaḥ) come, go, fall, and rise, just like collections of sparks (kaṇaghaṭāḥ) rising from fire (pāvaka). That pure, singular reality, which has neither beginning nor middle, I consider to be space (vyoma) itself, and not the cause called God (īśvara).

Space (vyoma) itself, which is the most expansive support for the jewels of the three worlds, bears within its own nature (aṅge) all immeasurable and undivided objects. I, whose form is consciousness (cit), indeed consider that to be the Supreme (param), in which this worldly illusion (jagadbhrama) undergoes both its arising and dissolution.

In the forest regions, amidst charming groves of trees, a song is sung by a beautiful, longing forest-dweller. From here, on the mountain peak, that song is observed by a man suffering from separation (viyogin) as he moves along his path, filled with emotion (rasa).

A song is sung, with sighs and yearning (sotkaṇṭhayā), in a voice choked with emotion (kaṇṭhāśliṣṭa-girā), by a Vidyadhara woman devastated by separation (viyoga-hatā), from the high tender leaves of a tree on a mountain peak. Listening to that very song, which here addresses a 'lord' (nāma atra), this traveler (pathika), sighing deeply, his mind wavering as if by the swaying of a swing, neither moves forward nor can be made to proceed.

From the cup of leaves on a tree at the mountain summit, this Vidyadhari woman, distressed by separation (viyoga-vidhurā) and tear-agitated, sings exceedingly sweetly (kākalyā atilakam), sighing: 'O Lord (nātha)! Remembering and savoring your kiss, with my chin held and a smile, as an elixir (rasāyanam) in your embrace-home (utsaṅga-gṛhe), these many unfortunate years have been spent by me!'

Her virtuous husband from a previous existence (prāg-bhava-sat-pati) was cursed by a sage (muni) and turned into a tree. This very woman remains here, counting precisely those twelve years (varṣa-dvādaśakam). Full of longing (utkalitā), she sings, having taken refuge in that very tree, which is her beloved. O King (rājan)! I heard this from the mouths of travelers (mārga-vihāriṇām) on the path.

Look! This Vidyādhara, whose curse has been appeased by our sight, having released the young woman from her tree-like state, now embraces her around the neck with those very arms that deceptively appeared as branches, his smile resembling blossoming flowers.

On this peak, a mass of flowers, found in abundance among mountains and elephants, shines splendidly upon the trees, whose shoots are prominent. It gleams like the playful scattering of stars fallen from the sky and, at the same time, resembles frost.

Oh, behold the Kaveri river! It shines splendidly, its agitated waves, stirred by the eager leaping of swarms of fish, are made rough by the wailing and fluttering ospreys. Its shores and wetlands are thronged with herds of fearless deer, and it appears adorned with a white garment of flowers.

Look! Here on the slope of Mount Suvela, a golden rock shines with a completely pure splendor. It is comparable to particles of the submarine fire scattered by the breaking of the turbulent waves of the ocean (Varuṇa's abode) that crash upon the shore.

Behold the beauty in the mountains, belonging to the inhabitants of the cowherd settlements. Their homes are enveloped by nearby thick clouds, forest trees bloom fully in the vicinity of their dwellings, and their skies are covered by a profusion of palāśa blossoms.

The villages excel, with their blooming, brightly pale-white flower clusters, whose riverbanks are like baskets holding Mandāra flowers and scattered peacock feathers, where the playful sounds of cascading waterfalls serve as musical instruments, and whose people sing deep within vibrant, echoing caves.

I do not believe that the gods (amarāṇām) here experience the same satisfaction (tuṣṭiḥ) that is attained by the people (narāṇām) in the cowherd settlements (gokuleṣu) and mountain caves – those rustic individuals (pāmara) who are intoxicated by the humming, maddened bees concealed within the petals of blooming Kandala flowers.

Why do the playful and restless Kirātas (kirātāḥ) mercilessly kill an innocent deer (mugdhamṛgam) in the mountain caves (girigahvareṣu) as if it were an enemy? This deer has its eyes fixed on the faces of the singing Pulinda women within the forests, which are agitated by bees swinging on creepers.

The villages, situated in the deep mountain ranges, where the bodies of travelers are cooled by the dense leaves of creepers, which are rich with the essence of many blooming flowers, and which are characterized by swift waves due to the wide flow of water, surpass the moon.

The delightful mountain villages, with their murmuring stream waters, where profusely blooming palmyra trees spread widely, whose canopy-like skies are formed by swaying creepers playfully adorned with flowers and young shoots, and where tall Sala trees on their outskirts are graced by hanging clouds, resemble the garden sections of Śaśipura (Moon City), that land which extends as far as the moon and the Ashvattha tree.

The villages are glorious, where multitudes of 'moon-jewel' peacock eye-spots, originating from delicate peacock feather fragments, are scattered and seem to float upwards, having been shed by flocks of peacocks performing vigorous new "tāṇḍava" dances, inspired by the rumbling thunder of dense, dark, approaching clouds.

The graceful splendor (vilāsalakṣmī) that resides in these villages, which are nestled on mountain slopes, adorned on their sides with beautiful moon-orb-like ornaments, and upon which water-heavy clouds, like resting elephants, have settled – from where could such opulence arise in the wealthy kingdoms of even Brahmā (Viriñca)?

I delight in the mountain caves, which are beautiful due to the fragrant pleasure gardens found within them, which possess groves that sparkle with clusters of coral tree (saṃtānaka) blossoms, and which have dense coral tree (pāribhadra) groves bustling with awakened, deep-humming bees.

Here, graceful peahens dance, and creepers, bent low by the weight of their blossoms, sway gracefully in the groves and by the pond of the sounding waterfall.

I believe that Kāma (the god of love) delights with joy, by his own inherent nature, in groves where trees are made charming and green by parrots; in places where the pure cooing of birds resonates as if measured by the pools; in village landscapes; and in spots hidden within mountain caves.

O Earth, endowed with glory, of noble character, dispelling distress, of profoundly majestic and towering form! You are indeed an ornament on the peaks of mountains, the singular abode of all essences (rasa). However, O Cloud, this act of yours - this sequence of joyfully distributing water to trees located in barren ponds and dry lands, even while you are raining - this indeed vexes people's minds.

O Cloud, you constantly bathe in the expansive waters of sacred fords, you reside in a high position, and being pure, you dwell in the forest, having undertaken a vow of silence. Yet, even when you are empty, a profound splendor is perceived in your form. Why then, having risen, do you unleash thunderbolts? What a trivial action this is of yours!

Any object, even if inherently good, can become unfavorable if it is placed in an inappropriate location. For example, water, having reached a place of dark clouds, itself acquires blackness.

He who dedicates himself to the paths of sensory objects, pursuing those who are frenzied, intoxicated, on the verge of falling, rushing, and exceedingly proud - whatever he considers to be the substantial reality of even the desire to merely glance at the tip of a blade of grass, let that be examined: whether it is true existence or merely dullness.

By the Creator, who constantly makes the entire world remarkably distinct, yet in this dog, his grandson, everything has been created uniformly. His dwelling is in a cave of impure refuse; his food is feces and pus; his disgraceful mating is in the sight of all; and his body is despicable to all.

To him who asked, "Who is lower than you?" the dog replied with a laugh: "He who cultivates foolishness, impurity, blindness, and inauspiciousness more than me, he is truly lower. And the glorious qualities (guṇa) like valor, unfeigned devotion (bhakti), and steadfastness (dhṛti) that reside in me - these qualities cannot be obtained from a fool, even when sought with great effort."

This crow eats impure things and constantly delights in the unclean, in a large heap of refuse. It silently devours conscious beings and, taking pleasure, tears apart unconscious ones. When people gather around an agitated female dog, it (the crow) is pelted with stones by them. Indeed, such a mischievous existence in the world was created by the ordainer (Dhātṛ), and not by a god (Īśvara).

O little crow, with your harsh, cawing cry! You wander in the lake, whose virtues are engulfed in mud. You obstruct the humming of bees. Therefore, you are like a burdensome fruit upon my head.

The crow consumes the multitude of hells (i.e., impure things) but rejects the lotus stalk (i.e., pure things). Since this is so, do not let there be any pride for you, for what is accustomed always brings satisfaction.

Oh, what a tragedy! A demon, whose face deserves to be struck and beaten, is present in this beloved body, which is like a fully bloomed lotus bud. Look, this crow sits in this miserable little pond and engages in various antics with the royal swans.

Oh crow, whose only distinguishing mark is your harsh, saw-like caw! Where has such self-doubt of yours vanished today? Why do you uselessly raise cuckoo offspring, even with the hope of having a single son? This act, indeed, only serves to make you an object of ridicule.

O sweet-voiced cuckoo, who here can listen to your sweet and delightful sound, which acts as a messenger of peace (saṃdhi) after a lover's quarrel? For in these thickets, our hearing has been completely drowned out by the cawing and harsh guttural noises of crows and the squabbling of owls.

While a lovely young cuckoo, with its gentle voice and the captivating sincerity that charms all, recounts a delightful tale before those in love, at that very moment, a crow descends from the sky into the garden, crying incessantly with dreadful and terrifying caws, "This one is my son!" and thereby makes everyone utterly joyless.

O cuckoo, why, oh why do you sing with such a rapid sound, exhilarated with joy? Take that sound back into your throat's hollow; may your illusion (bhrama) not last long! This is not the exuberant blossoming of spring (madhu), continuously rich with magnificent flowers. These trees, made dry by winter, stand with masses of frost.

O cuckoo, singing with soft, sweet notes, whose form is always admirable, by whom, alas, have you been taught this sorrow-giving, inauspicious speech? In the month of Caitra, amidst its wondrous new sprouts, a separated woman (virahiṇī) asks, 'Whose is this sweet sound, belonging to my soul?' In response, from a high tree, 'Yours! Yours!' is swiftly uttered by you.

Even with similarity in silence, movement, behavior, color, and physical form among a flock of crows, this cuckoo, not a crow, beautiful in its radiance, is recognized from afar. Just like a scholar among a multitude of ignorant people, whose actions are noble by his very nature, indeed, everyone attains eminence through the wonder of their corresponding intrinsic nature (svānta).

Brother cuckoo, enough, enough of your calls! Your invaluable quality (guṇa) does not manifest now. Be silent in some hollow, covered by a mass of fallen leaves. This time, my friend, is winter (śiśira), filled with flocks of harshly cawing crows in the caves of magnificent trees; this is not the festival of spring (vasanta).

It is astonishing that this cuckoo chick, having abandoned its own mother, went to a female crow. As I pondered for a moment, thinking, 'Surely, that one (the crow) torments this chick,' then, by its inherently fortunate nature (svabhāva), the chick also quickly clung to her with affection, as if to grow as if with a mother. The very circumstance to which it goes proves to be the source of its greatness.
