स हाासनवरं श्रीमत्‌ पुष्पकं विश्वकर्मणा । विहितं चित्रपर्यन्तमातिछतत धनाधिप:,धनाध्यक्ष कुबेर विश्वकर्माके बनाये हुए सुन्दर एवं श्रेष्ठ विमान पुष्पकपर विराजमान थे। वह विमान विचित्र निर्माणकौशलकी पराकाष्ठा था

sa hāsanavaraṁ śrīmat puṣpakaṁ viśvakarmaṇā | vihitaṁ citraparyantam ātiṣṭhat tad dhanādhipaḥ ||

ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った。財の主クベーラは、ヴィシュヴァカルマンの造りし、華麗にして最上の空中車プシュパカに座していた。その細部に至るまでの作りは比類なく精妙であった。この偈は、正しく得られ秩序立てられた繁栄の理想を示す――富と権勢は、しかるべき道で得られ整えられるとき、軽率ではなく、威厳と規律を帯びて現れるのである。
