On entering the palace they saw that its windows looked vary graceful; and its artificial water fountains were splendid. The architects had handsomely plastered the walls and the ceilings and the painters had painted them beautifully. There were tanks of pure water in which blossomed thousands of lotuses. Their banks were decked with various flowers whose fragrance filled the atmosphere and the grounds, were all over covered with the season flowers.
उपस्थानगृहैः शुभैर्वलभीभिश्च शोभितम्। गवाक्षकैस्तथा जालैर्यन्त्रैः सांचारिकैरपि॥ सम्मार्जितं सौधकारैश्चित्रकारैश्च चित्रितम्। दीर्घिकाभिश्च पूर्णाभिस्तथा पद्माकरैरपि॥ जलं तच्छुशुभे छन्नं फुल्लैर्जलरुहैस्तथा। उपच्छन्ना वसुमती तथा पुष्पैर्यथर्तुकैः॥
