It is ten thousand Yojanas wide. It has a grove of Kalpa trees. Hundreds of Kāmadhenus are found there. It is illuminated by Cintāmaṇi gems (cintāmaṇisudīpita). It abounds in gold. It is divine and wonderfully brilliant. There I saw Śiva seated along with Pārvatī. He is fair-complexioned and exquisitely handsome. He has three eyes and the moon for his crest. [...]”.
