21. & 22. It was well built with quadrangles decorated with gold where the roads crossed one another, mansions and gardens attached to them with halls belonging to merchants and other burghers, with beautiful and palatial buildings, with awnings, platforms, window faces, seats under trees—all inlaid with Vaiduryas, Vajras, pure blue stones, corals, pearls and emeralds: the pigeons and peacocks that abode there filled the city with their joyous notes: there the streets, markets and quadrangles were thoroughly moistened (and kept from dust), were strewn with flowers, tender shoots, fried rice and unbroken grains of rice.
