Kalpa Sūtra astronomical locations, the lamp of the firmament, the melter of snow-heaps, the illustrious leader of planets, the destroyer of nights, pleasant for a momentary vision at the rising and setting time, exceedingly hard to vision (for the rest of the day), the punisher of night-faring miscreants, the subduer of chill, with its luminous glory set forth by a thousandrays.

8. Then an ensign, fastened to a staff of pure gold, an attractive sight for the people, unusually large in size, with its crest made of tender and delightful peacock feather, deep blue, red, yellow and white, exceedingly gracious; as if a lion, white like crystal, or conch-shell, or anka-stone, or kunda flower, or foam of water, or a silver cup, was floating to and fro in the firmament, (as if) to deprive a king of his dignity by the dignity of another king. Beaten by gentle stroke of pure breeze, the brilliant ensign was fluttering.

9. Then (saw) a full jar of precious (silvery?) metal, resplendent with fine gold, full of pure water, super-excellent and shining in beauty, surrounded and decorated with boquets of water lilies, marked all over by prosperity and happiness, placed on a lotus excelling even a jewel, like the peaceful abode of the goddess of Wealth, delight of the eye, free from all sins, splendid, shining and exquisitely beautiful; casting its brilliance in all directions, and decorated with garlands made of fragrant flowers of all seasons.
