The Triyasititama Festival
Again bowing his head, the king Shrenika asked the sage, "O venerable one, how was the wealth and prosperity in the house of Rama and Lakshmana?" ||3||
Gautama said, "O king, although the pleasures of Rama, Lakshmana, Bharata, and Shatrughna cannot be fully described, yet, O king, I will tell you in brief about the wealth that arose due to the influence of Balabhadra and Narayana. Listen." ||2-3||
Their dwelling, called Nandyaavarta, was like the abode of Indra, beautiful, with many gates and high gopuras. ||4||
There was a fort called Chatuhshala, as high as the peaks of a great mountain, and a hall called Vaijayanti. There was a beautiful hall called Suvithi, made of moonstone, and a very high prasadakuta, overlooking all directions. There was a viewing hall called Vardhamana, as high as the Vindhya mountain, and offices equipped with various tools. Their inner sanctum was as wondrous as a hen's egg, standing on a single pillar, and as beautiful as a Kalpavriksha. ||5||
Surrounding this inner sanctum was a row of palaces belonging to the queens, known as Tarangali, shining with jewels. ||6||
There was a bedroom called Ambhojakanda, with the brilliance of lightning, a beautiful, soft-touch bed, resting on lion-head feet. There was a magnificent throne, like the rising sun, and fans like clusters of moonbeams. ||10-11||
There was a large, heavy umbrella, radiating the brilliance of the moon, providing shade as desired. There were two sandals called Vishamochika, for comfortable walking. ||12||
There were priceless garments, divine ornaments, an impenetrable armor, a pair of shining jeweled earrings, unfailing maces, swords, gold, discs, arrows, and other great things that shone on the battlefield. ||13-14||
