Translation
Vaiśaṃpāyana said: The mansion was adorned on every side by graceful courtesan-like apsarases dancing with great exuberance, while banners, shaken and made to flutter by the wind, served as its ornaments—an image of dazzling splendor that highlights the seductive, sense-entangling atmosphere surrounding the scene.
