The sound of that conch used to make all creatures tremble in feat. O great king, the assembly-hall that Maya built, stood on golden pillars, and it occupied an area of five thousand cubits square, possessing an most beautiful form. It (the liall) shone in great splendour like the fire, the sun or the moon. By its great effulgence it seemed to darken even the rays of the sun.
यस्य शङ्खस्य नादेन भूतानि प्रचकम्पिरे। सभा च सा महाराज शातकुम्भमयदुमा॥ दशकिष्कुसहस्राणि समन्तादायताभवत्। यथा वह्नर्यथार्कस्य सोमस्य च यथा सभा॥ भ्राजमाना तथात्यर्थं दधार परमं वपुः। अभिघ्नतीव प्रभया प्रभामर्कस्य भास्वराम्॥
