Silver rampart

रजतमय प्राकार

Raised by the Bhavanapati gods, with battlements like golden lotuses. The deck where the conveyances wait.

The first wall anyone reaches and the last deck anyone climbs from. Inside it stand the animals used as transport, and beside them the vimānas the gods came in.

Two gods stand at each of its four gates, by direction: Vaimānika at the east, Vyantara at the south, Jyotiṣka at the west, Bhavanādhipati at the north.

Do not be heedless, Gautama, for even a single samaya.
