अध्याय १ — न्यग्रोधवनोपवेशनम् तथा द्रौणिनिश्चयः

Night at the Banyan and Drauṇi’s Resolve

नानातोयै: समाकीर्ण नानापुष्पोपशोभितम्‌ । पद्मिनीशतसंछन्नं नीलोत्पलसमायुतम्‌,उसमें जहाँ-तहाँ अनेक प्रकारके जलाशय थे, भाँति-भाँतिके पुष्प उस वनकी शोभा बढ़ा रहे थे, शत-शत रक्तकमल और असंख्य नीलकमल वहाँके जलाशयोंमें सब ओर छा रहे थे

nānātoyaiḥ samākīrṇaṃ nānāpuṣpopaśobhitam | padminīśatasaṃchannaṃ nīlotpalasamāyutam ||

Sañjaya descreveu a cena como uma paisagem de bosque, em muitos pontos repleta de águas de várias espécies, adornada por flores diversas. Seus lagos se estendiam cobertos por centenas de canteiros de lótus, densos de lótus e acompanhados por grupos de nenúfares azuis—uma imagem de beleza serena contra o sombrio rescaldo da guerra.
