The inner area of that mansion is very much levelled and attractive. It is as much levelled as the leather cover of the drum. Exactly at the centre of that mansion there is a large platform studded with precious stones (manipeethika). It is 500 dhanush long, 500 dhanush wide and 250 dhanush thick. It is pure and all in gold. There is a huge bed on that seat. Its description is similar to as mentioned earlier.
That lotus (padma) is surrounded by 108 padmas (lotuses) which are half of its height and also in their extension. Those lotuses are half a yojan long, half a yojan wide and one kos thick. They are ten yojan deep in water and one kos above the surface of water. Thus from their root in the water up to their height, they are more than ten yojans.
The primary description of these lotuses is that their root is of Vajra jewels up to of various types of precious stones. Their Karnika is of gold. It is one kos long, half a kos thick and completely of gold. It is pure. On this Karnika, there is a very much levelled attractive piece of land which is beautiful as it is studded with many types of precious stones.
