In the Padma Purana,
The gardens were adorned with an abundance of flowers and fruits. The ponds were covered with lotuses and lilies, and resounded with the songs of birds. ||86||
The palaces, resembling the peaks of Kailasa, were adorned with beautiful features and were as radiant as the eyes. ||87||
All the inhabitants were wealthy with gold, grains, and jewels, and were comparable to the Sammed Shikhar. They were renowned like kings and highly praiseworthy. ||88||
The kings were endowed with unparalleled wealth, like the gods. They were always devoted to dharma, artha, and kama, and were skilled in performing virtuous deeds. ||89||
Shatrughna, a wise man, ruled over the city of Mathura, fulfilling the wishes of the kings, just as Varuna rules over the gods. ||90||

Arya Giti Chhandah
Gautama Swami says that whoever hears or narrates the story of the seven sages residing in Mathura and their miraculous influence, will soon attain all four types of auspiciousness. ||61||
Those who are always devoted to the company of the virtuous, attain all their desires. Therefore, O virtuous ones! Embrace the company of the virtuous and shine like the sun. ||62||
Thus ends the 62nd chapter of the Padma Purana, narrated by Acharya Ravishena, titled "Mathurapuri Nivesha Rishi Dana Guna Upa Sarga Hanana", which describes the residence of the seven sages in Mathura, their gifts, virtues, and the destruction of evil influences. ||62||
