पुष्पकविमानदर्शनम्
Vision of the Pushpaka Aerial Chariot
न तत्र किञ्चिन्न कृतं प्रयत्नतोन तत्र किञ्चिन्न महार्हरत्नवत्।न ते विशेषा नियताः सुरेष्वपिन तत्र किञ्चिन्न महाविशेषवत्।।।।
na tatra kiñcin na kṛtaṃ prayatnato na tatra kiñcin na mahārharatnavat |
na te viśeṣā niyatāḥ sureṣv api na tatra kiñcin na mahāviśeṣavat ||
そのプシュパカには、丹精を尽くして作られていないものは一つもなく、また貴き宝玉を嵌め込まれていないものもなかった。かかる卓絶の輝きは神々の間にさえ見いだし難く、まことにそこには至上の特異を欠くものが何一つなかった。
There was nothing in Pushpaka which was not executed carefully with special effort, nothing which was not made of precious stones. Such privileges were not available to even gods. Indeed there was nothing which was not unique.
