Kemudian kera itu—putera Dewa Angin, cemerlang laksana angin sendiri, penghancur musuh—mendaki gunung utama, Mahendra: diselubungi aneka pohon, hamparan rumput yang didatangi rusa; rimbun oleh sulur dan bunga, dengan pohon yang sentiasa berbunga dan berbuah; jajaran yang dilalui singa dan harimau, dihuni gajah-gajah yang mabuk berahi; bergema oleh kawanan burung yang riuh, serta dipenuhi curahan air terjun yang melimpah.
