____108. Once all this was done, King Shrenik called his staff and said, "Beloved of gods! Arrange for a large palanquin with the following specification --
It should be raised on numerous pillars. It should be decorated with idols of dancing damsels. It should have painted motifs such as—Iha Mrig, bull, horse, gymnast, crocodile, bird, snake, Kinnar, Ruru, Sarabh, yak, elephant, wild creepers, lotus, etc. It should resonate with the twinkling sound of bunches of small bells dangling in it. Decorated thus it should look good, beautiful and attractive. It should be eye catching due to a high pedestal made by expert artisans and fitted with bunches of bells made of gems. Embellished with the paintings of playful Vidyadhar couples and inlaid with a variety of gems it should appear more brilliant than the sun rays. Decorated with thousands of such paintings, made radiant with gems, and exquisite with a variety of crafts this palanquin should be attractive and unique in appearance and pleasant to touch. It should be carried by one thousand persons. Quit indolence, avoid all distractions and rush with full concentration to bring such a palanquin.” महाभिनिष्क्रमण
