यत्र यत्र तु वार्ष्णेयो वर्तते पथि भारत । तत्र तत्र सुखो वायुः सर्वं चासीत्प्रदक्षिणम्॥५-८२-११॥

But wherever the Vārṣṇeya moved along the road, O Bhārata, there the breeze was pleasant, and everything was auspicious and rightward.

A rain of flowers fell, and lotuses in great abundance. The road became level, free from discomfort, and cleared of kuśa-grass and thorns.

As he proceeded, O King, accompanied by brāhmaṇas, that mighty-armed one was honored in various places with madhuparka offerings and with flowers, as a giver of prosperity.

Women, gathering on the road, scattered fragrant wild flowers upon that great-souled one, devoted to the welfare of all beings.

He passed beyond a delightful region rich in rice-fields, filled with every kind of crop—prosperous, comfortable, and marked by exemplary adherence to dharma, O bull of the Bharatas.
