Vishvakarma

Maya travels to the sacred peaks near Kailasha, retrieves the club, conch, and crystal treasures, and then marshals his rakshasa servants to construct a matchless, jewel-encrusted assembly hall. In fourteen months, a divine sabha stands complete, and Maya presents the weapons to Bhima and Arjuna.

Narada tells Yudhishthira of the divine assembly hall of Yama, the god of dharma and death. He describes a radiant, self-moving palace where every desire is fulfilled, and enumerates the vast, illustrious assembly of kings, sages, and celestial beings who attend the lord of the ancestors there.

Narada continues his tour of the celestial courts, describing the underwater sabha of Varuna, lord of the waters. He details its divine construction, its radiant beauty, and the astonishing assembly of gods, serpents, demons, and rivers who attend and worship Varuna there.
