中天竺舍衛國祇洹寺圖經 2.8

2.8

重閣東西有大寶樓，大梵王造，與閣相扶。即花開也，莊飾彫刻天工所營，既非人匠，故絕言象。樓西飛廊連注重閣，鏤檻文棍，亦非人有。天人聖眾，經過旋樓並處其中。閣西寶樓天帝所造，高廣花麗，同諸東梵，飛廊連閣，如前不殊。

To the east and west of the multi-storied pavilion are large jewel-towers built by the great King Brahmā, flanking the pavilion. They resemble blooming flowers, their ornaments and carvings wrought by celestial craftsmanship; being no human handiwork, they are beyond words and forms. Flying corridors west of the tower connect directly with the multi-storied pavilion, with carved balustrades and patterned railings, likewise not of human making. Celestial beings and the holy assembly passed through and circled the towers, all dwelling therein. The jewel-tower west of the pavilion was built by Śakra; lofty, vast, flowery, and beautiful, it matches the eastern tower of Brahmā, its flying corridors connecting to the pavilion no differently from the former.
