[...] It was richly rendered fragrant with various sweet smelling substances (nānāsugandha). It was very bright. There was sandal paste and aguru. Beds were richly strewn with flowers. Many wondrous things of variegated colours and shapes were displayed there. It had been constructed in gems by Viśvakarman himself. [...]”.
