They all seated in various kinds of Vimânas, looked splendid They were gleaming like gold Narasiṃha thus saw the great Hiraṇyakaśyapu, the Lord of the Daityas who was shining with uncommon lustre like a mountain His body was radiant like the sun His like in wealth in splendour, in everything else has neither been heard of nor seen His splendour was in keeping with his greatness The valiant demon king was seated on a throne of gold with a necklace round his neck like a lion with perforated work of silver and gold all round him The hall of assembly was decorated with variegated roads adorned with altars and studded with gems and nice windows He was attended by thousands of demons shining like the sun and wearing garlands of gold—85 89
