मयस्य प्रतिकृतिः — Maya’s Offer and the Commissioning of the Sabhā
सर्वर्तुगुणसम्पन्नां दिव्यरूपां मनोरमाम् | दशकिष्कुसहस्रां तां मापयामास सर्वत:
sarvartuguṇasampannāṃ divyarūpāṃ manoramām | daśakiṣkusahasrāṃ tāṃ māpayāmāsa sarvataḥ ||
Вайшампаяна сказал: Затем Майя велел обмерить участок со всех сторон — место чарующее, божественно прекрасное, наделённое достоинствами всех времён года, — простиравшееся на десять тысяч кишку, в приготовление к возведению царского зала собраний.

Maya, the master builder, has the land for the sabhā (assembly hall) measured on all sides, marking out an immense and beautiful site described as possessing the charm of all seasons.
