His aim was to build a new palace. After walking alone for a long time he reached the neighbourhood of Himālayas. While wandering in the forests he saw a beautiful garden and by its side a big castle with nine tower-gates. It was the residence of the Gandharva lady Purañjanī. She had innumerable girl companions and her castle was guarded by a five-hooded cobra called Prajāgiri. - [Previous: c8.2756](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.2756) - [Next: c8.2758](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.2758) - [Up: c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.2757](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.2757) · Pramāṇa
