The sun, the moon, as well as the stars are seldom seen in Ilâvrita. The people of that place are handsome like the lotus and their eyes are like the same, and their body, too, emits a scent like that of the lotus. They seldom get excited and drink the juice of the roseapple, (jambuphala). They, too, are the fallen people of Svarga and wear silvery white garments, and live up to 13,000 years.—70-73.
