parikhair akṣa-toraṇaiḥ
parikhair akṣa-toraṇaiḥ
svarṇa-raupyāyasaiḥ śṛṅgaiḥ
saṅkulāṁ sarvato gṛhaiḥ
It had walls, groves, a head, moats, lattice windows, gates, and pinnacles of gold, silver and iron, and houses.
The walls are the skin. The groves are the sense objects. The tower is the mouth. The moat is the combination of guṇas. Parikhaiḥ (masculine form instead of feminine) is poetic license. The lattices are the hair pores. The gates are the eyes and other openings. Gold, silver and iron refer to pitta, kapha and vāta or the three natures of sattva, rajas and tamas. The houses are the cakras in the body.

nīla-sphaṭika-vaidūrya-
muktā-marakatāruṇaiḥ
kÿpta-harmya-sthalīṁ dīptāṁ
śriyā bhogavatīm iva
The palace had places made of sapphire, crystal, cat’s eye, pearls, emeralds and rubies, shining with beauty like the city of Bhogavatī.
The palace had places made of ruby which are places within the heart, throat and brow. The other jeweled places represent the nādīs. Bhogavarī is a city of the Nāgas. It seemed to have pleasure, but actually did not.

sabhā-catvara-rathyābhir
ākrīḍāyatanāpaṇaiḥ
caitya-dhvaja-patākābhir
yuktāṁ vidruma-vedibhiḥ
It had a sitting place, an intersection, a main street, gambling houses, shops, a resting area, stages made of coral, and was decorated with flags and banners.
Sabhā means a place for the King to sit. It means the heart, where the jīva is situated. The intersection refers to the place below the palate where the passages for the mouth, nose, eyes and ears meet. The main road is the suṣumnā, iḍā and piṅgalā running down the spine. The gambling houses are the gross locations of the senses. The market is the gross mind (brain). The resting place (caitya) is within the citta. The flags are aversion to the Lord and the banners are the five miseries. The coral stages are the spaces within the various cakras.
