इन्द्रस्य पाण्डवैः समागमः
Indra’s Meeting with the Pāṇḍavas
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 ||
Wika ni Vaiśampāyana: Ang panginoon ng kayamanan, si Kubera, ay nakaupo sa maringal at napakahusay na sasakyang panghimpapawid na Puṣpaka—ginawa ni Viśvakarman—na ang pagkakayari’y masinop at marikit sa bawat detalye. Ipinahihiwatig ng taludtod ang huwaran ng wastong kasaganaan: ang yaman at kapangyarihan, kapag natamo nang nararapat at inayos nang may kaayusan, ay marangal at may pagpipigil, hindi pabigla-bigla.
