There were foot-soldiers too. All of them were artificial. O sage, Viśvakarman was so delighted that he made all these things to fascinate the visiting dignitaries, the gods and the sages. O sage, the statue of Nandin, at the portals, of crystalline purity and brilliance, was a prototype of the real Nandin. Above that there was the celestial chariot Puṣpaka decorated with sprouts. It shone with gods represented therein. [...]”.
