Sukadeva Gosvimi said: One day Vrsaparva’s daughter
Sarmistha, who was innocent but angry by nature, was walking
with Devayani, the daughter of Sukracarya, and with thousands of
friends, in the palace garden. The garden was full of lotuses and
trees of flowers and fruits and was inhabited by sweetly singing

birds and bumblebees.
