शिखर पर कई प्रकार की पंचरंगी व घंटियों सहित पताकाएँ फहरा रही थीं। वह धुला, लिपा तथा चंदोलों से युक्त था और सुगंध का भंडार था। सारांशतः वह भवन मनोरम और आह्लादकारक था, दर्शनीय था मन को मोहने वाला था।
72. Besides these, one other large building was constructed specifically for Megh Kumar. This building was raised on numerous pillars having figures of dancing damsels engraved. There was a raised pedestal with inlaid diamonds. The gate was made of large and high pillars of chrysoberyl supporting an arch. They too had carvings of human figures; and the inlaid gold and gems gave them a brilliant glow. These pillars were shapely, large, strong, and beautiful and were richly decorated with exquisite carvings of Ihamrig (etc. as mentioned earlier). A splattered pattern of inlaid diamonds added to their eyecatching beauty. It appeared as if a couple of Vidyadhars (a class of gods) were moving mechanically.
Decorated with numerous paintings and filled with infinite rays of reflected light, this building provided a scintillating view. The onlookers could not shift their eyes from this visual wonder. It was pleasent and exciting to touch. Five coloured flags with bells fluttered over the gold inlaid dome at the top of this building. Its interior was washed, besmeared, fitted with curtains and canopies and filled with incense and perfume. All said and done, this building was appealing lovely, exquisite, and alluring to the highest degree. विवाह और प्रीतिदान ___ सूत्र ७३. तए णं तस्स मेहकुमारस्स अम्मापियरो मेहं कुमारं सोहणंसि तिहि-करणनक्खत्त-मुहुत्तंसि सरिसियाणं सरिसव्वयाणं सरिसत्तयाणं सरिसलावन्न-रूव-जोव्वणगुणोववेयाणं सरिसए-हिंतो रायकुलेहितो आणिल्लियाणं पसाहणट्ठग-अविहवबहुओवयणमंगल-सुजंपियाहिं अट्टहिं रायवरकण्णाहिं सद्धिं एगदिवसेणं पाणिं गिण्हाविंसु।
सूत्र ७३. इस निर्माण कार्य के सम्पन्न हो जाने के बाद मेघकुमार के माता-पिता ने शुभ तिथि, करण, मुहूर्त देखकर उनके समान व उपयुक्त शरीर परिमाण, आयु कान्ति, लावण्य, यौवन और गुण वाली तथा समान कुल की आठ श्रेष्ठ राजकन्याओं के साथ एक साथ विवाह करवाया। उस समय आठों अंगों में अलंकार धारण करने वाली सुहागिनों ने मंगल गान गाये तथा दही, अक्षतादि मांगलिक पदार्थों से सब अनुष्ठान करवाये।
