TRANSLATION
Thereafter, Lord Ramacandra entered the palace of His

forefathers. Within the palace were various treasures and valuable
wardrobes. The sitting places on the two sides of the entrance door
were made of coral, the yards were surrounded by pillars of
vaidarya-mani, the floor was made of highly polished marakata-
mani, and the foundation was made of marble. The entire palace
was decorated with flags and garlands and bedecked with valuable
stones, shining with a celestial effulgence. The palace was fully
decorated with pearls and surrounded by lamps and incense. The
men and women within the palace all resembled demigods and
were decorated with various ornaments, which seemed beautiful

because of being placed on their bodies.
