He was born in an illustrious family. His father was the lord of Brâhmaṇas. Hearing those words of Budha, Ilâ accompanied him to his residence. She was overjoyed to see the house of Budha, with its golden pillars studded with precious stones and erected through divine magic; and greatly admired the character, the appearance, the riches and the family of her husband. Ilâ, for a long time, thus enjoyed herself in the house of Budha that looked to her like the house of Indra.—62-66. > — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, The Matsya Puranam - [Previous: 11.62](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.11.62) - [Next: 11.64](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.11.64) - [Up: 11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.11) ## Translations (2) - [The Matsya Puranam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-taluqdar.11.p29) — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-mt.11.63) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [Padmapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.padma.1.8.103) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.11.63](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.11.63) · Pramāṇa
