Dijo Vaiśampāyana: El señor de la riqueza, Kubera, estaba sentado en el espléndido y excelente carro aéreo Puṣpaka—obra de Viśvakarman—cuyo arte era exquisito en cada detalle. El verso subraya el ideal de una prosperidad legítima: la riqueza y el poder, cuando se obtienen con rectitud y se ordenan debidamente, aparecen dignos y regulados, no temerarios.
