Vyasa, The Bhagavad Gita (Telang translation… (1882)
“ After hearing the bird's prayer, I inquired, "Who are you, and where are you coming from? You look like a swan, and your bodily color is that of a crow." That bird said, "Please understand that I am the swan-carrier of Lord Brahma. The reason for my body having attained a black color I will relate to you.Just close to Saurashtra (Surat) there is one beautiful lake, from where this wonderful heavenly lotus came from. ”
