## The Twenty-First Chapter
The serpent king, having descended to the first belt of Mount Vijaya, showed the realm of the Vidyadharas to the two princes, saying:
1. "It seems as if this mountain, being very heavy, was unable to ascend further, and therefore spread itself out on both sides, merging with the ocean."
2. "This mountain, like a king, is adorned, and its two never-ending ranges, like great goddesses, are resplendent. Just as great goddesses are adorned with abundant pleasures, so too are these ranges adorned with vast expanse. And just as great goddesses possess a beautiful future, so too do these ranges possess length."
3. "Ascending ten yojanas from the earth, this first belt of the mountain is the abode of the Vidyadharas, which shines like a part of heaven."
4. "The Vidyadharas dwelling in these two ranges seem as if they are gods who have come down from heaven to reside here."
5. "This abode of the Vidyadharas casts doubt on our own realm, for just as our realm (of the Dharanendras) is served by the Nagendras, who possess great hoods, so too is this abode of the Vidyadharas served by the Vidyadharas, who possess great pleasures."
6. "Seeing these beautiful Vidyadhara maidens, like Naga maidens, I truly remember the heavenly realm of Patala, the abode of the dwellers in mansions."
7. "Here there is no fear arising from one's own king, nor the three fears arising from enemy kings. There are no calamities like excessive rain or drought, nor any hindrance arising from disease."
