Description of the City of Dharmarāja
Yama
प्रासादकुञ्जेषु विहार्यमाणा न तृप्तिमेवं बहु ताः प्रयान्ति ॥ गन्धः सुगन्धोऽगुरुचन्दनानां वातः शुभो वाति सुशीतमन्दः ॥
prāsāda-kuñjeṣu vihāryamāṇā na tṛptim evaṃ bahu tāḥ prayānti || gandhaḥ sugandho 'guru-candanānāṃ vātaḥ śubho vāti suśīta-mandaḥ ||
In den Palasthainen umherwandelnd, gelangen sie selbst nach vielem Genuss nicht zur Sättigung. Ein lieblicher Duft von Aguru und Sandelholz liegt in der Luft, und ein glückverheißender Wind weht—kühl, sanft und mild.
