Vyasa said Thus addressed by the son of Angira, Shakra himself gave directions to all the celestials to erect the hall of assembly, and a thousand well-furnished excellent rooms loO king grand as in a canvass and quickly to complete the staircase massive and durable, for the ascent of the Gandharvas and Apsaras and to furnish that portion of the sacrificial ground reserved for the dance of the Apsaras, like the palace of Indra in the celestial region.
व्यास उवाच एवमुक्तस्त्वाङ्गिरसेन शक्रः समादिदेश स्वयमेव देवान्। सभाः नियन्तामावसथाश्च मुख्याः सहस्रशश्चित्रभूताः समृद्धाः॥ क्लृप्ताः स्थूणाः कुरुतारोहणानि गन्धर्वाणामप्सरसां च शीघ्रम्। यत्र नृत्येरन्नप्सरसः समस्ताः स्वर्गोपमः क्रियतां यज्ञवाटः॥
