The Great King Kuvera, dear sir, has a capital named Visāṇā, which is why the great king is called ‘Vessavaṇa’. Searching, they shine: Tatolā, Tattalā, Tatotalā, Ojasi, Tejasi, Tatojasi, Sūra, Rājā, Ariṭṭha, and Nemi. There is a lake there too named Dharaṇī, whence the clouds rain forth, and the rains disperse. There is a hall there too named Sālavatī, where the spirits frequent. There the trees are ever in fruit, with many different flocks of birds. Peacocks and herons call out there, and the sweet cuckoos too. One bird cries out ‘Live, live!’, another ‘Lift up your heart!’ There are cocks and kookaburras, and in the wood the woodpeckers. The parrots and mynah cry out there, and the ‘little stick-boy’ birds. Kuvera’s pond of rushes is lovely all the time. From here that is the northern quarter, so the people say. That quarter is warded by a great king, glorious, the lord of spirits; his name is Kuvera. He delights in song and dance, honored by the spirits.
