मोदयन् सर्वभूतानि गन्धमादनसम्भव: । सर्वगन्धवहस्तत्र मारुत: सुसुखो ववौ,गन्धमादनसे उठी हुई वायु सम्पूर्ण सुगन्धकी राशि लेकर समस्त प्राणियोंको आनन्दित करती हुई सुखद मन्द गतिसे बह रही थी

Sinabi ni Vaiśampāyana: Isang banayad at kaaya-ayang simoy, nagmula sa Gandhamādana at hitik sa sari-saring halimuyak, ang humihip doon at nagdulot ng galak sa lahat ng nilalang. Ipinahihiwatig ng tanawing ito ang pagkakasundo ng kalikasan at ang mabuting palatandaan, na wari’y ang kapaligiran mismo ang tahimik na sumusuporta sa kaginhawahan at sa wastong pamumuhay.
