In the Adipurana, there were some poets who had created a beautiful world. In this world, there were forests, and within these forests, there were beautiful pavilions. These pavilions were made of gold and had four gateways. 25

The gateways were adorned with toranas and other auspicious objects, as described earlier. The height and width of these gateways were similar to those described before. 255

Beyond the gateways, there was a wide and long path, and on both sides of this path, there were rows of houses built by divine artisans. 256

These houses had large pillars made of gold, their foundations were made of wood, their walls were made of Chandrakant gems, and they were decorated with various jewels. Some of these houses had two floors, some had three, and some had four. Some had Chandrasalas (upper floors) and some were adorned with attics. 257, 258

These houses were bathed in their own light, and their peaks touched the sky, appearing as if they were made of moonlight. 259

There were also storehouses, assembly halls, and viewing galleries. These storehouses had beds, seats, and stairs, and their brilliance made the sky white. 260

In these houses, there were gods, Gandharvas, Siddhas (a type of god), Vidyadharas, Nagas, and Kinnaras, all playing and enjoying themselves. 261

Some of these gods were engaged in singing, while others were playing musical instruments. They were all engaged in music and dance, worshipping the Supreme Being. 262

Were there Kalpavriksha trees that granted wishes? 252

In the forests of these Kalpavriksha trees, there were wells, rivers, sand dunes, and assembly halls, all beautifully decorated. 253

The forest path was surrounded by a pavilion made of gold, with four gateways. 254

The gateways were adorned with toranas and auspicious objects, as described earlier. The height and width of these gateways were similar to those described before. 255

Beyond the gateways, there was a wide and long path, and on both sides of this path, there were rows of houses built by divine artisans. 256
