Verse 6

¹Narada, hearing that Naraka had been killed and that Krsna alone had married so many women, wanted to see it for himself. ²A wonder, this: with one body, at one time and in separate houses, one man took sixteen thousand women as his wives. ³Eager for that, the sage of the gods came to see Dvaraka, loud with flocks of birds and swarms of bees in its flowering gardens and groves, ⁴and loud with the calling of swans and cranes on its lakes, which were inlaid with open blue lotuses, day lotuses, and white and night and blue water lilies. ⁵It was furnished with nine hundred thousand mansions of crystal and silver, looking like great emeralds, their fittings made of gold and gems.

⁶It was lovely with its laid-out carriage roads and lanes, squares and shops, with halls and meeting houses and houses of the gods; its streets, courtyards, alleys and doorsteps were sprinkled with water, and flying flags and banners kept the sun off.
