[431] Its thickness is half a yojana. It is ten yojanas underwater and two kosas [half a yojana] above water. Together, its height is ten and a half yojanas. The description of the lotus is as follows: its root is vajra-like, its stem is made of risht gems, its stalk is made of vaidurya gems, its outer petals are vaidurya-like, its inner petals are jambunad [golden], its filaments are made of tapaniya gold, its pollen is golden, and its stigma is made of various gems. The pollen is half a yojana long and wide, its circumference is three times that plus some, its thickness is one kosa, it is completely golden, pure, smooth, and perfect. Above the pollen is a multi-splendid land, its description should be given up to the touch of the gems. In the exact middle of that multi-splendid land is a vast building, one kosa long, half a kosa wide, and slightly less than one kosa high. It is supported by hundreds of pillars, the initial description should be given. There are three doors in that building, one in the east, one in the south, and one in the north. These doors are five hundred dhanus high, two hundred and fifty dhanus wide, and their entrance is the same. They are white, adorned with a stupa of the finest gold, and garlands are hanging from them.
[149. (2)] Inside that building, in the multi-splendid land, there are ponds, lakes, and the color of the gems. In the middle of that multi-splendid land, there is a gem-studded platform, five hundred dhanus long and wide, eight hundred dhanus thick, and made of sixty gems. On that gem-studded platform, there is a great divine bed, the description of the divine bed is as follows. It is surrounded on all sides by four other beds, each of which is half the size of the main bed. These beds are half a yojana long and wide, their circumference is three times that plus some, their thickness is one kosa, and they are ten yojanas high, with one kosa of water above them. These ten yojanas are considered to be the height of the beds. The description of these beds is as follows: their roots are vajra-like, their stems are made of risht gems, their stalks are made of vaidurya gems, their outer petals are vaidurya-like, their inner petals are jambunad [golden], their filaments are made of tapaniya gold, their pollen is golden, and their stigma is made of various gems. These pollens are one kosa long and wide, their circumference is three times that plus some, their thickness is half a kosa, they are completely golden, pure, smooth, and perfect. Above these pollens is a multi-splendid land, its description should be given up to the color, fragrance, and touch of the gems.
Above that bed, in the north, in the north-northwest, there are four thousand beds, each of which is equal to the size of the four thousand beds of the Kumar of Nilavantaha. Thus, the entire family should be described in terms of its size. These beds are surrounded on all sides by three other beds, namely the inner, middle, and outer beds. In the inner bed, there are thirty-two thousand beds, in the middle bed, there are forty thousand beds, and in the outer bed, there are forty-eight thousand beds. Thus, with all the beds, there are one hundred million beds and twenty thousand beds.
