驚嘆に心を満たしたハヌマーンは、都を四方に見渡した。黄金の門、毗琉璃（ヴァイドゥーリヤ）を嵌めた壇、金剛石・水晶・真珠で飾られた宝石の敷石、灼ける黄金と淡い銀で築かれた壮麗な楼閣。毗琉璃の階、継ぎ目には水晶の砂のような輝き、麗しい中庭を備えたその吉祥の都は、まるで虚空へと浮かび上がらんばかりであった。鶴鳥（クラウンチャ）と孔雀の声が満ち、王の白鳥が遊び、楽器の響きと装身具のざわめきが四方にこだました。その都が天界の神々の都にも比すべき姿であるのを見て、ハヌマーンは、まるでそれが天へ飛び立とうとするかのように、歓喜した。
Surveying all over, Hanuman was wonderstruck to see as though it was leaping into the sky. The city had golden shutters, altars encrusted with vaidurya, mansions inlaid with diamonds, crystals, pearls and other gems, crowned with pure gold and silver. The staircases built with silver were studded with vaidurya. The beautiful quadrangles, coverd with grains of crystal were as though leaping into the air. It echoed with sounds of krauncha birds, peacocks and royal swans. Filled with sounds of musical instruments, it resembled the city of Vaswokasara.
