"Like a mountain or a cloud, veiling the sky, it towered — extensive, vast, smooth, faultless, untiring [to behold]; endowed with the finest materials, girdled with jewel-studded walls, rich in gems and treasures, beautifully wrought by Vishvakarman. Neither Sudharma, the hall of the Dasharhas, nor even that of Brahma was endowed with such beauty as this incomparable hall that Maya made."

Here the earthly dwelling surpasses the halls of the gods — even the hall of Brahma. It is telling that this superiority is given to the house of the righteous king, not of a proud lord: where dharma rules, the dwelling is worthy of more than heaven itself. This is no boast, but a sign of the greatness of Yudhishthira's righteous kingdom. Thus scripture shows the incomparability of the palace; and further, its fearsome guardians follow.
