[1152] And here at the water's edge many phaṇijjaka herbs have sprung up,
muggati and karati bean-creepers, and sevāla waterweed and sīsaka in plenty.
Stirred into ripples, the water rolls against the banks; there are makkhikā and hiṅgujālikā,
and here too the dāsima-kañcaka, and many kalambaka in the low places.
The trees stand draped with eḷambaka, brahmin;
though worn for seven days, their fragrance does not fail.
And on both sides of the lake Mucalinda flowers stand in their several clusters;
covered over with indīvara blossoms, the forest region shines in beauty;
though worn for half a month, their fragrance does not fail.
The blue-flowered setavārī and the girikaṇṇikā stand in bloom;
the forest region is covered with kalera trees and with tulasī.
As though gladdened by fragrance is that wood with its flowering branches;
the bees, drawn by the scent of the flowers, hum resounding on every side.
Three kinds of kakkāru gourds grow at that lake, brahmin:
some are the size of water-jars, and the other two the size of drums.
