The wonderfully excellent and the most divine aerial chariot fitted with the swan (haṃsasaṃyukta), belonging to Brahmā is now standing in my court-yard. The divine and excellent treasure Mahāpadma etc. of Kubera is in my custody. The umbrella of Varuṇa stands in my house shedding its golden brilliance. [...]’.”.
