[1153] And here grows mustard (sāsapa) in plenty, and the nādiya decked in green; asi-plants stand there like tāla palms, and many are the blue water-lilies (indīvara), within reach of the hand for plucking. The apphoṭā and the sun-creeper (suriyavallī), the kāḷiyā of honeyed scent, the asoka and the mudayantī, and the vallibha with its tiny blossoms; the koraṇḍaka and the anojā, and the nāga-jasmine (nāgamallikā) in flower; creepers of kiṃsuka in full bloom stand twining up the trees. The kaṭeruha plants waft their perfume abroad, and the honey-scented yodhikā; the niliyā, the sumanā jasmine, and the bhaṇḍī; and the padumuttara shines resplendent. The pāṭali trumpet-flower, the sea-cotton (samuddakappāsī), and the kaṇikāra, all in blossom, appear like nets of gold, splendid as crests of flame. And whatever flowers there be, those born of the land and those of the water, all are to be seen there — so delightful is that great water.
