It was fully provisioned with every kind of food, set out in vessels washed and spotless; seats were arranged for all, and splendid, excellently spread beds were laid out—an abode of prosperity and auspiciousness.
An auspicious royal palace with splendid archs resembling white clouds sprang up. It was sprinkled with celestial perfumes and adorned with beautiful garlands. That royal palace forming a quadrangle was furnished with couches, seats and carriages and furnished with celestial drinks of every kind, delicious food and splendid garments. It was stocked with food of every variety in clean and spotless vessels. Seats for every one and magnificent couches covered with excellent bedstead were arranged.
By emphasizing orderly hospitality—food, clean vessels, and seating for all—it presents righteous kingship as care for others, where prosperity is used to serve guests and dependents in a disciplined, respectful manner.
Satya is implied through the reliability and integrity of the arrangement: what is promised by a royal establishment—provision, cleanliness, and proper rest—is truthfully and fully made available without neglect or deception.
