[575] "This heavenly palace (byamha) shines, well-fashioned in crystal, thronged with companies of excellent women, resplendent with its peaked chambers, furnished with food and drink, and with both dance and song. Delight indeed comes over me, O charioteer, at the sight. I ask you, Mātali, divine charioteer: what good deed did these women do, who, having attained heaven, rejoice in this mansion (vimāna)?"
