Sūta said: It has many ornamental gateways of different shapes bedecked in gold and jewels. The arches at the gateways are rendered wonderful with gold, with jewels set in. Thousands of women throng the roadways. They are clever in conversation and elocution. They are bedecked in all ornaments. They stoop down due to the weight of their heavy breasts and their eyes roll to and fro due to intoxication. The Apsaras (water nymphs) move about all round. There are wonderful lakes, tanks, and rivers, all clustered with full blown lotuses. They have golden lines of steps. Even the sands on their banks are golden. Blue and fragrant golden lotuses abound in them. Thus the whole city shines splendidly. With that city the mountain is considered auspicious.
