[934] "Ten white streaks are here upon it, lovely to behold, delighting the mind;
tawny ones six and fifteen [twenty-one in all], and fourteen of turmeric yellow.
Twenty therein are golden, and twenty made of silver;
and as many as thirty are seen there, gleaming with the hue of indagopaka insects.
Here are black ones ten and six [sixteen in all], and twenty-five of madder-crimson,
intermingled with bandhuka blossoms, variegated with blue lotuses.
Behold, great king, O supreme of two-footed beings, this gem thus endowed with every feature,
flaming, resplendent — set as the stake, its portion fixed."
(This) is called the Maṇikaṇḍa [the Section on the Gem].
