24. The gods and Nagas, seated in the shade beneath them, left their own abodes and sported there for a long time. ||24||
249. The Jyotishka gods resided in the Jyotiranga Kalpatarus, the Kalpavasis in the Dipanga Kalpatarus, and the Bhavanavasis in the Malanga Kalpatarus, each according to their preference. ||249||
250. That forest of Kalpatarus was adorned like a bride and groom, for just as a bride and groom are adorned with garlands, so was that forest, just as they are adorned with ornaments, so was that forest, just as they wear beautiful clothes, so were there beautiful clothes in that forest, just as the lips of a bride and groom are red like new leaves, so were the new leaves of that forest red, just as lamps are lit around a bride and groom, so were lamps lit in that forest, and just as a bride and groom are extremely beautiful, so was that forest extremely beautiful. ||250||
251. In the midst of those Kalpatarus were the Siddhartha trees, whose roots were very radiant because they were presided over by the images of the Siddhas, and they were all shining like the sun. ||251||

The fruits of those Kalpatarus seemed like ornaments, the new tender leaves seemed like forests, and the garlands hanging from the tips of the branches were adorned like great matted hair. ||247||
The gods and Dharanendras, seated in the shade beneath those trees, left their own abodes and sported there for a long time. ||248||
The Jyotishka gods resided in the Jyotiranga Kalpatarus, the Kalpavasis in the Dipanga Kalpatarus, and the Bhavanavasis in the Malanga Kalpatarus, each according to their preference. The meaning is that each god sported beneath the tree that he liked best. ||249||
That forest of Kalpatarus was adorned like a bride and groom, for just as a bride and groom are adorned with garlands, so was that forest, just as they are adorned with ornaments, so was that forest, just as they wear beautiful clothes, so were there beautiful clothes in that forest, just as the lips of a bride and groom are red like new leaves, so were the new leaves of that forest red
