Vaiśaṃpāyana nói: Rồi ông đến một hội đường khác, rực rỡ như nơi cư ngụ của chư thiên. Tại đó, ông thấy mọi thứ được bày biện lộng lẫy—điềm lành, tinh mỹ, vượt quá tay nghề thường tình của con người—báo hiệu trật tự vương quyền, phú túc thịnh vượng và sức mạnh được trau luyện, làm nền cho những quyết định quốc gia sắp tới.
