[...] The next year is known as Vibhava the third as Śukla, the fourth as Pramoda, and the fifth as Prajāpati: in each of these years mankind will be happier than in the next preceding year. In the same four years there will be good growth of the Śālī crop, of sugarcane, of barley and other crops in the land; mankind will be freed from all fears and they will live at peace, in happiness [i.e., saṃhṛṣṭa-lokā] and without the vices of the Kaliyuga”.

Tārakākṣa then said—‘Let Viśvakarmā make a city which cannot be broken even by the gods. Let that golden city be mine’. Kamalākṣa requested for a great silver city. The delighted (saṃhṛṣṭa) Vidyunmālī requested for a steel-set magnetic city. [...]”.
