A single yojana in width, half a yojana in thickness, made entirely of jewels, pure and flawless, is the description of the **Manipithika** (jewel platform). Upon these **Manipithika**, one after another, are placed **Sohaasana** (thrones), adorned with garlands and families. Above these **Preekshagharmandapa** (viewing pavilions), one after another, are adorned with eight auspicious flags and umbrellas. In front of these **Preekshagharmandapa**, in three directions, are placed **Manipithika**. These **Manipithika** are two yojanas in length and width, one yojana in thickness, made entirely of jewels, pure and flawless. Upon these **Manipithika**, one after another, are placed **Chaityastupa** (stupas). These **Chaityastupa** are two yojanas in length and width, slightly more than two yojanas in height, adorned with conch shells, ankura ratnas (gemstones), kunda (jasmine flowers), and a multitude of other jewels, pure and flawless. Above these **Chaityastupa**, one after another, are placed eight auspicious flags and umbrellas, adorned with many bells and **chamara** (yak-tail whisks). In four directions, around these **Chaityastupa**, are placed four **Manipithika**. These **Manipithika** are one yojana in length and width, half a yojana in thickness, made entirely of jewels, pure and flawless. Upon these **Manipithika**, one after another, are placed four **Jinapradima** (images of the Jinas), the size of a **Jinusseha** (Jina's body), seated on **paliyankana** (thrones), facing the **thubha** (stupa), and standing close together. These are, for example, the **Usabha** (first Tirthankara), **Baddhamana** (second Tirthankara), **Chandana** (third Tirthankara), and **Nanda** (fourth Tirthankara). [137]

They are white, adorned with **stupa** made of the finest gold, and so on. The description of the doors, including the **vanamala** (garland of trees), should be described as before. In front of these doors are said to be **mukhamandapa** (entrance pavilions).

The description of the **ulloka** (ceiling) and the ground should be described as before. Above these **mukhamandapa**, one after another, are said to be **mangala** (auspicious symbols), **swastika** (auspicious symbols), and **darpan** (mirrors). In front of these **mukhamandapa**, are said to be separate **prekshagharmandapa** (viewing pavilions). These **prekshagharmandapa** are twelve and a half yojanas in length, six yojanas and one **kosa** (league) in width, slightly more than two yojanas in height. The description of the **prekshagharmandapa** and the ground should be described as before, including the description of the jewels.
