2.8
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.
