That handsome mountain of gold, called the Meru, formed the flag staff; and the chords, that were ornamented with the lightning, became the banners of that car. That car, being thus furnished with all its equipments, looked most resplendent like the blazing fire in the midst of the priests attending a sacrifice.
ध्वजयष्टिरभून्मेरुः श्रीमान् कनकपर्वतः। पताकाश्चाभवन् मेघास्तडिद्भिः समलकृताः॥ रेजुरध्वर्युमध्यस्था ज्वलन्त इव पार्वकाः।
