The Lord, who is like the wind, is truly wise and is worshipped by all the learned. He ascended the golden throne, adorned with lions, to teach the world. ||75||
Seeing the beautiful assembly, the gods were filled with joy and performed three circumambulations with devotion. Then, with happy hearts, they entered the assembly to see the Lord. ||76||
The assembly, adorned with banners that seemed to sweep the sky, was surrounded by a dust-cloud, making it appear as if it were constantly enveloped in a rainbow. ||77||
The assembly was supported by four pillars that reached the sky, and the pure banners on them seemed to call the heavens to serve the Lord. ||78||
The assembly was adorned with many ponds filled with clear, cool water and blooming lotuses, making it appear as if it were a row of eyes, eager to see the Lord, the destroyer of the demons of birth, old age, and death. ||79||
The assembly was surrounded by a moat filled with pure water, echoing with the sounds of water birds and large waves, making it appear as if the waves were raising their hands to welcome the water birds. ||80||
The assembly was situated on that land. ||74||
