रत्नाभापुंजमिव खे दृश्यमानमभित्तिमत् ।
गन्धर्वाणां पुरमिव दृश्यं नित्यमभित्तिमत् ॥ ६ ॥

ratnābhāpuṃjamiva khe dṛśyamānamabhittimat |
gandharvāṇāṃ puramiva dṛśyaṃ nityamabhittimat || 6 ||

It is like the baseless fabric of gold of the celestials on high;and like the air-built castle of Gandharvas in the midway sky.
