The place of the Lord, the Adipurana, was spread over nine yojanas. It was adorned with a floor made of Hari-nila (blue sapphire) gems. ||7||
The Indra-nila (blue sapphire) gem-made Samavasarana was built then. It was like a mirror reflecting the beauty of the three worlds. ||4||
Who can describe the arrangement of this Samavasarana Mandala? Indra himself was the architect, skilled in his work. ||79||
Still, I will try to describe a little of its beauty, for listening to it brings joy to the minds of the noble souls. ||80||
On the outer edge of the Samavasarana, there was a Dhulisala (dust-wall) made of gem dust, its brilliance illuminating the surrounding land. ||41||
It looked like a rainbow, shining brightly, with a circular shape, serving the Samavasarana land as a protective wall. ||82||
This Dhulisala, with its circular shape, adorned with a belt-like design, surrounded the Samavasarana of the Jina. ||43||
Made of gem dust, the Dhulisala was sometimes black like a group of collyrium, sometimes yellow like gold, and sometimes red like coral. ||84||
In some places, it was covered with green gem dust, like the feathers of a parrot, and it looked like it was covered with the tender leaves of a lotus. ||85||
In some places, it was made of powdered Chandrakanta (moonstone) and shone like moonlight, yet it captivated the minds of people. ||86||
The Lord Vrishabhadeva saw this Samavasarana from afar. ||76||
It was spread over twelve yojanas, with a floor made of Indra-nila gems, shining brightly. ||77||
Made of Indra-nila gems, the Samavasarana was circular, like a mirror reflecting the beauty of the three worlds. ||78||
Who can describe the real construction of this Samavasarana, where Indra himself was the architect, skilled in all his work? No one can, but I will try to describe a little of its beauty, for listening to it brings joy to the minds of the noble souls. ||79-80||
