The Mahapurana, Uttara Purana
**Verse 377:** All the best things that are produced in the world are not meant to be enjoyed in their place of origin. Therefore, all the best things from everywhere come to that city and are enjoyed by its inhabitants.
**Verse 378:** If any substance goes out of that city, it can only go out through charity. Thus, that city was filled with the aforementioned renunciants and enjoyers.
**Verse 379:** All the people of that city were *taadattvika* - they only looked at the present and spent whatever they earned. This tendency of theirs was not blameworthy because their merit increased all things every day.
**Verse 380:** In the northern part of the Brahma-sthana, there was a royal palace, adorned with the radiant *Bhadrashala*, *Uttamakota*, etc., and resembling the great Mount Meru adorned with forests like *Bhadrashala*, etc.
**Verse 381:** Around that royal palace, in their respective places, were other radiant and beautiful palaces, which were adorned like the stars around Mount Meru.
**Verse 382:** In that Hastinapur capital, the radiant King Ajit Sena, of the Kashyapa lineage, ruled. He had a wife named Priyadarshana, who delighted his mind and eyes.
**Verse 383:** She had seen auspicious dreams like those of the young moon, etc., and gave birth to a son named Vishvasena, who had fallen from the Brahma-heaven.
**Verse 384:** The daughter of the king Ajitanjaya of the Gandhara city in the Gandhara country, named Aira, was born to his queen Ajita. She came from the *Sanatkumara* heaven and became the beloved queen of King Vishvasena.
**Verse 385:** Goddesses like Shri, Hri, etc., served her. On the seventh day of the month of Bhadrapada, in the *Bharani* constellation, in the fourth part of the night, she saw sixteen dreams that would give her the fruit of a son.
**Verse 386:** After seeing sixteen dreams, Queen Aira, who was slightly awake and whose mouth emitted a pure fragrance, saw an elephant entering her mouth.
**Verse 387:** At that very moment, the divine being *Megha-ratha* fell from heaven and entered the womb of Queen Aira, just as a drop of water enters a shell to become a pearl.
**Verse 388:** At that very moment, the last watch of the night sounded, as if to awaken the sleeping beauty and announce her auspicious dreams.
**Verse 389:** Hearing the sound of the drum, Queen Aira's lotus-like face blossomed. She got up from her bed and performed auspicious rituals.
