74. Thereafter, Suryabh Dev repeated his request second time and again the third time. He humbly uttered
“O the Reverend Sir ! You know (as already mentioned in aphorism 72 ) upto that I want to exhibit my dramatic skill.” He then went round three times starting from the right side of Bhagavan, bowed to him, honoured him and then went in northeast direction. He then performed emanation of soul-particles in order to create fluid form (Vaikriya Samudghat) in the shape of a stick numerable yojans long. He removed gross molecules and collected subtle molecules. He again resorted to Vaikriya Samudghat and created extremely levelled and beautiful piece of land. It was Aaling Pushkar (already mentioned in aphorisms 31 to 44), levelled from all sides and studded with jewels of unique shine, smell, taste and touch.
He created a theatre in the middle of that completely levelled and beautiful land. It was supported on several hundred pillars. Its description may be considered similar to the one earlier mentioned in aphorisms 45-46.
He then created a completely levelled attractive space, a canopy, a stage and a platform studded with gems (mani-peethika) at the place for spectators. He further created a seat and umbrella bearing throne on that platform. Its upper part was decorated with pearl garlands (as in aphorisms 47 to 52).
