They had great brilliance. A brilliant abode of Viṣṇu called Vaikuṇṭha, with wonderful features, was created in a trice. Viśvakarman created a wonderfully divine palace for the lord of gods endowed with all riches (varyasamanvita). Wonderful mansions for the guardians of the quarters were erected by Viśvakarman. They were beautiful and large. Mansions of various kinds were built by him for other gods too. [...]”.
