susukhā na ca duḥkhā sā na śītā na ca gharmadā
na kṣutpipāse glāniṃ vā prāpya tāṃ prāpnuvanti te //
At that instant, Narasiṁha chanced to see the most beautiful assembly of that valiant demon It was full of every blessing, divinely beautiful, 100 yojanas in length and 50 in breadth It had all the desires and wealth, it was ærial, it could go wherever it liked It was free from the sufferings of infirmity, grief and decay It was full of lustre and prosperity and firm It was located amongst enchanting surroundings such as beautiful gardens, &c There were beautiful pools of water within its precincts designed and executed by Viśvakarmâ and the trees of gold studded with precious stones. Besides all that, there were charming awnings of blue, yellow, white, black colours and hundred of creepers loaded with clusters of blossoms that looked like the waving of rows of clouds of various colours. In that place full of light and pervaded with the stupefying odour of unsurpassing sweetness, there was a total absence of grief and it was full of comforts There, the sun, cold, hunger, thirst and decay were not visible The demons were sitting at such a place of beauty and comfort.—37-44
