In that great lake there were different types of lotus flowers. Some of them were bluish, and some of them were red. Some of them grew at night, some in the day and some, like the indīvara lotus flower, in the evening. Combined together, the lotus flowers filled the lake so full that the lake appeared to be a great mine of such flowers. Consequently, on the shores there were swans and cranes, cakravākas, kāraṇḍavas and other beautiful water birds standing about. ।। 4-24-21 ।।

उस विशाल सरोवर में विभिन्न प्रकार के कमल पुष्प थे। कुछ नीले थे तो कुछ लाल, कुछ रात्रि में खिलने वाले थे, तो कुछ दिन में और इन्दीवर जैसे कुछ कमल शाम को खिलने वाले थे। इन सब फूलों से सारा सरोवर पुष्पों की खान सा प्रतीत हो रहा था। फलस्वरूप सरोवर के तटों पर हंस, सारस, चक्रवाक, कारण्डव तथा अन्य सुन्दर जलपक्षी खड़े हुए थे। ।। ४-२४-२१ ।।
