By which way is the charming northern Kuru,
the great Mt. Neru, beautiful to behold,
There are humans born in that place,
unselfish and possessionless.

They neither sow the seed
nor lead along plows.
Good rice that matures in untilled ground,
is what the humans there enjoy.

Having cooked on hot rocks,
the finest rice without husk powder or chaff.
Pure, sweet-smelling grains,
from that they enjoy their food.

Having made their cows single-hoofed,
they go about from place to place.
Having made four-legged animals single-hoofed,
they go about from place to place.

Having made women their vehicle,
they go about from place to place.
Having made men their vehicle,
they go about from place to place.

Having made girls their vehicle,
they go about from place to place.
Having made boys their vehicle,
they go about from place to place.

They having mounted these vehicles,
they go about in every direction,
roaming about [within] their range:

Served by vehicles of elephants,
vehicles of horses,
and divine vehicles.

The glorious great king,
is furnished with palanquins and lofty platforms.
and for him there are cities,
well-built in the sky.

Atanata, Kusinata,
Parakusinata, Natapuriya,
[and] Parakusitanata.

By the north is Kapivanta
and by Janogha is another.
Navanavutiya Ambarambaravatiya
Alakamanda is the name of the royal city.

But for the respected Kuvera,
The great king,
Visana is the name of the capital city.

Therefore Kuvera, the great king
is [also] called “Vessavana.”

There are these individuals, each of whom inform [the king]
Tatola, Tattala Tatotala,
Ojasi, Tejasi, Tatojasi
Sūro, Raja, Arittha, and Nemi.

There, there lies the lake named Dharani,
from where clouds shed rain,
from where the rains spread.

There is also the hall named Bhagalavati,
where the yakkhas assemble.

There, a perpetual fruit tree,
attracts various birds.
Resounding with peacocks and herons
and the Indian cuckoo.

“jiva, jivaka! they sing,
then [also sing] “lift up your minds!”
There are [also] cries of cocks [and] crabs,
[and] the lotus crane in the jungle.

There are sounds of parrots and myna-birds,
and the dandamanavaka [bird].
Ever shining all the time,
is Kuvera's perpetual lotus pond.
