Surrounded by a great rampart made of gold, / having the form of the shining sun, with splendor greater than fire, // 21
with four golden gates adorned with gems and pearls, / that charming city shone, frequented by the perfected ones. // 22
Old age, death, fatigue, illness, anger, delusion, arrogance, and the like— / such inauspicious states, O sage, do not prevail in that Śivapura. // 23
