At many place in the forest-regions there are small lakes, pushkarni and gunjalikas. Their banks are of silver. Silvery and golden sand issues spread at their bottom. Their water is covered with lotus of various types namely kumud, nalin, subhag, fragrant lotus, pundreek and others.
There are swings here and there in the middle of lakes. Many rising a grounds, niyati mounts, wood mounts, fountains, platforms are made there.
Here and there in the forest-regions there are plantain pavilions, creeper pavilions and others. There are seats bearing sketches of swans and others and stone platforms in the pavilions for taking rest. Many gods and goddesses come there to sport and enjoy the fruit of their good karmas (activities) of the past They take pleasure in such sports."
After going through this description one feels that there is no such lake and garden even in prosperous and fully developed countries of the present world. It surpasses in grandeur, beauty and comforts. From the style of description, it can be estimated that the writer has really used proper words to describe details.
१६०. तस्स णं उवयारियालेणस्स चत्तारि तिसोवाणपडिरूवगा पण्णत्ता, वण्णओ, तोरणा, झया, छत्ताइच्छत्ता।
तस्स णं उक्यारियालयणस्स उवरि, बहुसमरमणिज्जे भूमिभागे पण्णत्ते जाव मणीणं फासो।
१६०. उस उपकारिकालयन की चारों दिशाओं में चार त्रिसोपानप्रतिरूपक (तीन-तीन सीढियों की पंक्तियाँ) बने हैं। यान-विमान के सोपानों के समान इन त्रिसोपान-प्रतिरूपकों
का वर्णन भी तोरणों, ध्वजाओं, छत्रातिछत्रों आदि पर्यन्त यहाँ करना चाहिए। ____ उस उपकारिकालयन के ऊपर अतिसम, रमणीय भूमिभाग है। यान-विमानवत् मणियों
के स्पर्श-पर्यन्त इस भूमिभाग का वर्णन यहाँ करना चाहिए। ___160. In all the four sides of upkarikalayan (platforms to ascend), there is a row of three staircases. Like the staircase of aerial Viman (vehicle), the description of staircases, festoons, flags, umbrellas, and umbrellas above others is identical to the earlier one.
There is very much levelled and attractive earth-region above ex the upakarikalyan. Its description is like that of aerial vehicle upto a touch of gems.
