You know that Shakra cannot conquer them. Many times, O Matali, you yourself, your son Gomukha, and the lord of the gods, the husband of Shachi, together with his son, have had to retreat before them. Look at their dwellings, O Matali — all of them are made of silver and gold and adorned with ornaments wrought according to the rules of art. All these mansions are set with lapis lazuli and coral and shine with the brilliance of arkasphatika and with the radiance of the gem called Vajrasara. And many of these splendid residences seem to be built of the luster of gems called padmaragas, or of gleaming marble, or of excellent wood. They likewise possess the radiance of the sun or of blazing fire. And all the buildings, adorned with jewels and gems, are very lofty and stand close together. Given their vast dimensions and great architectural beauty, it is impossible to say of what material these mansions are built, or to describe their beauty. Indeed, they are exceedingly beautiful because of their adornments.
