Resounding with many melodies from hundreds of flocks of birds, and beautified by cakravāka pairs devoted to one another; with exceedingly lovely sandbanks frequented by swans and sārasa cranes—this river gleams as though it were a fully adorned woman laughing.
'See the different kinds of trees like canes timida, vakula, ketaka, hintala, tinisa, kadamba, dhava, krutamalaka, betasa grown here and there on the bank (of the river), which looks beautiful like a woman decorated with clothes and ornaments.
Harmony and fidelity as dharmic ideals: the paired cakravākas evoke steadfast attachment, indirectly affirming the Ramayana’s ethic of loyal love and truthful commitment.
The river’s life—birds, pairs, and bright sandbanks—is described to convey the richness of the route and the setting around the cave region.
Hopeful endurance—beauty in nature becomes a support for continuing a difficult, duty-bound search.
