In the Padma Purana, it is said that the Dehli Pindaka was made of Panarag, and it was adorned with a Tambula-like shade, like a Radachhada. The doors were adorned with a string of pearls, and the beauty of the buildings was such that it seemed to mock the beauty of other buildings. The peaks were adorned with jewels that resembled the moon, and they caused doubt in the minds of people at night, as to which was the real moon. The buildings were illuminated by the light of Chandrakanta gems, and the ornate doorways were adorned with various jewels, which made them seem like they were made of gold. The floors of the buildings were made of jewels, and the ceilings were adorned with paintings of lotus flowers. The roads were made of jewels and gold, and they were as wide as a dry ocean. The city was surrounded by a wall made of jewels, and the towers were so high that they seemed to touch the heavens. The gates were adorned with jewels, and they were so high that they seemed to touch the clouds. The city was so beautiful that it was like the city of Indra. The king, Shrikant, lived in this city with his beloved Padmaabha, and they enjoyed themselves like Indra and Indrani. There was nothing in the Bhadrasala forest, the Saumanasa forest, or the Nandana forest that was not available to him. One day, Shrikant was sitting on the roof of his palace when he saw Indra going to the Nandishvara island to worship. Indra was adorned with a crown that made the sky look yellow, and he was playing music that made everyone deaf. He was riding on an elephant, a horse, a swan, a ram, a camel, a wolf, and a deer, and he was surrounded by a divine fragrance. Shrikant had heard about the Nandishvara island from the sages, and he remembered that it was a place of joy for the gods. He decided to go to the Nandishvara island with the gods, and he boarded a chariot that was made of jewels and had a bird made of jewels on it. He was stopped by a mountain that was made of jewels, and he was unable to proceed.
