To the Lord of the World:  
  
“The royal palace manifested  
To the north of me  
Is beautiful Aḍakavatī;  
Thus I am its lord.  
All the gods marvel over  
The royal palace of Aḍakavatī.  
  
“Its high surrounding wall  
Is studded with all precious materials.  
It is sixteen leagues in height  
And made out of gold.  
  
“Each of its four directional turrets  
Is inhabited all around  
By vajra-holding yakṣas,  
With weapons manifested in their hands.  
  
“The royal palace  
Is equipped with four gates:  
The first gate is made of gold.  
The second is made of silver.  
  
“The third is a crystal gate.  
The fourth is adorned with gold.

Is a garden with flowers in full bloom.  
  
“Inside the city are various mansions  
Made of the seven types of precious substances,  
With trees of various jewels,  
And the symphonic warbling of birds.  
  
“It is strewn with various flowers  
And anointed with various perfumes.  
It is adorned with the yakṣiṇī Vidhvaṃsaṇī  
And with song and music.  
  
“I experience the most sublime happiness  
There, in that circle of bhūtas.  
My attendants there, moreover,  
Are endowed with all the best attributes.  
  
“As beings that seek the Dharma and practice the Dharma,  
They do not harm creatures.  
  
“Deprived of food and drink,  
Other dreadful beings  
Search about for the best sense pleasures,  
And look everywhere throughout the four directions.  
  
“I will destroy  
All of those hundreds of billions  
Of yakṣas, rākṣasas, and bhūtas  
That dwell at the city gates,  
In gardens and forests,  
Summoning them with the sūtra noose!  
  
“At the center of the royal palace  
Is the dwelling place of the Dharma King,  
Encircled by a cool pond  
And shaded by sandal trees.  
  
“All around, for sixteen leagues,
