As Sakra the thousand-eyed, the wielder of the thunderbolt, the fortress-destroyer, the king of gods, (has no equal), neither has a very learned monk. (23)
As the rising sun, the dispeller of darkness, who burns as it were with light, (has no equal), neither has a very learned monk. (24)
As the moon, the queen of the stars, surrounded by the asterisms, when she is full at full-moon, (has no equal), neither has a very learned monk. (25)
As a well-guarded storehouse of merchants, which is filled with grain of many kinds, (has no equal), neither has a very learned monk. (26)
As the best of Gambû trees, called Sudarsanâ, which is the abode of the presiding deity, (has no equal), neither has a very learned monk. (27)
As the best of rivers, the ocean-flowing stream Sîtâ with its dark waters, (has no equal), neither has a very learned monk. (28)
As the best of hills, high mount Mandara, on which various plants shed a bright lustre, (has no equal), neither has a very learned monk. (29)
As the ocean of inexhaustible water, the delight of Svayambhû, which is full of precious things of many kinds, (has no equal), neither has a very learned monk. (30)
