[579] This palace (byamha) shines, well-wrought of crystal, thronged with troops of excellent women, resplendent with its pinnacled gables, furnished with food and drink, and with both dance and song; rivers set with all manner of flowering trees flow round about it. Delight indeed comes over me, charioteer, at the sight; I ask you, Mātali, charioteer of the devas: what good deed, pray, did this mortal do, that, having attained heaven, he rejoices in a mansion (vimāna)?
