PUSHPAKA. A self-moving aerial car of large dimensions, which contained within it a palace or city. Kuvera obtained it by gift from Brahmā, but it was carried off by Rāvana, his half-brother, and constantly used by him. After Rāma-chandra had slain Rāvana, he made use of this capacious car to convey himself and Sītā, with Lakshmana and all his allies, back to Ayodhyā; after that he returned it to its owner, Kuvera. It is also called Ratna-varshuka, “that rains jewels.”
