The steps of King Indra's residence were made of coral, the floors were bedecked with emeralds, the walls were of crystal, and the lines of columns were made of cat’s eye stone. There were colorful canopies, seats bedecked with rubies, and the beds as white as foam decorated with pearls. The ladies of the palace, with beautiful teeth, walking here and there in the palace with ankle bells tinkling, would look at their beautiful faces reflected in the gems. His feet were worshipped by the afflicted devatās. Ruling with severity, the sole ruler, having conquered all planets, powerful, proud Hiraṇyakaśipu, enjoyed in the palace.
