"Thinking of her husband alone, clad in the garments of a hermit woman, eating only roots and fruits, in prayer and fast, in sorrow and sadness, she of the wide eyes lived in the Aśoka park which seemed as a hermitage." (Bhāṣ� Bhārata, Araṇya Parva Chapter 280, Stanzas 42 and 43).

[...] The fragrant flowers of Mango and Aśoka trees [i.e., śǰ첹Ծ] shone heightening feelings of love. The water lilies with bees hovering on them proved to be the causes for the rise of love in the minds of everyone. The sweet cooings of the cuckoos heightened emotions of love. They were exquisite and pleasing to the mind�.
