DEVI BHAAGAVATM - SKAND 12
12#10b. MaNidweepa (2)
Across this ocean, there is an iron enclosure, high enough to block the Heavens. Within this enclosure wall, skilled and alert guards carrying weapons keep vigil. The four main entrances are swarming with hundreds of guards and devotees of Devi. Whenever any Deva comes to pay a visit to Devi, his VAhanam is stopped here.
This place reverberates with the chiming of the bells of the chariots of Devas and the neighing of the horses and the sound made by the hoofs. The Devas control the crowds using their canes. The place is buzzing with a mixture of sounds.The houses are adorned with trees of gems and jewels. The tanks are filled with clear and sweet water.
There is a second enclosure wall made of bell metal, so high that it almost touches the Heavens. It is far more brilliant than the previous enclosure wall. There are many entrance gates and various trees here.
All the varieties of trees found in this universe are there, bearing flowers, fruits and tender leaves! The whole place is scented with their sweet fragrance!
