“Wahai Citralekhā yang mahir dalam seni rupa, gambarkan pula mereka yang berbaring di lapisan Pātāla; tampakkan sedikit pesona masa muda mereka yang elok, dihiasi tanda-tanda kematangan muda.”

It portrays the vastness of creation across realms—heaven, earth, and netherworld—within the Purāṇic worldview.
