Here the city appears as an unassailable stronghold. It is significant that the wild forest is turned into a fortress, impregnable and majestic: by labor and valor a wasteland is transformed into a bulwark. Here it is revealed that the blessed make flourish everything they undertake. Thus the scripture reveals the strength and beauty of Indraprastha; and its might is the guarantee of safety for the righteous.
